May 6th Education night
The May 6th education night will feature Steve Pansy from Natural Color Lab.  Steve will be visiting to introduce a new Kodak paper that he says rivals Cibachromes of the past. Traditionally catering to the needs of discerning professional, Natural Color Labs would like to grow its business to include serious amateurs, like us.

Following Steve’s presentation, Paul Smith will present a number of Photoshop techniques for color correcting and retouching portraits. Many of the same techniques can be applied to other forms of photography. Bring your laptop and get some hands on practice!!  If time allows, Jim DeLuco and Paul will some demonstrate posing suggestions.
