About our Speaker

Jim DiVitale has been an Atlanta commercial advertising photographer and photography instructor for over 27 years. During the last 15 years, Jim has specialized in digital photography and computer photo illustration for ad agencies, design firms, and corporations nationwide.

Going completely digital capture in 1992, his award winning digital photography has been featured in, among others, Graphis Photo, Print, Archive Magazine, Create Magazine, Creativity, Rangefinder, Professional Photographer, Photo Electronic Imaging, Digital Output Magazine, Digital Imaging, Photo District News, and After Capture Magazine.

Jim is currently working with companies like Adobe, Graytagmacbeth, Lensbabies, NIK Software, Leaf America, Extensis and OnOne Software testing future product releases.

We can always use helpful hints to speed up our digital workflow and be more efficient and effective in our tasks. To that end, Jim will demonstrate problem-solving techniques using digital capture and Photoshop that apply to every field of graphic arts. Using the procedures and processing workflow that have been developed for commercial photography clients, Jim will explain how to streamline the digital imaging process from color management setup, to alternative file enhancement techniques to improve quality and save time.

Some of the specific topics covered:

Practical Color management from design to final delivery
Getting the best quality output for your client
Repairing damaged files and poor lighting conditions
Converting black and white images with incredible tonal control
Working with layer blending modes and adjustment layers
Using selection and layer masking for the multiple image montage
Working with layer blending modes for photographic corrections
Managing large photographic files from concept to archiving
Using light painting and selective focus for creative effects.
Working with art directors/designers over the Internet for job approval using Photoshop's Web Gallery

Jim has authored several Adobe Photoshop training CD's with Software Cinema that are shown at Photoshop Training Expos across North America and Europe. As a member of Professional Photographers of America (PPA) for more than 20 years, Jim has earned the Master of Photography, Master of Electronic Imaging, and Photographic Craftsman degrees, and certification as a PPA Approved Photography Instructor.
