• Meeting host Julie Faas introduced our guest speaker, Chad Barry, who presented A Look At Post Processing.
Chad explained that post processing is the technique of selecting and developing our images, and involves editing, enhancing and retouching. He went on to demonstrate how to cull a set of images in Lightroom, rating and sorting them for later action. Next comes enhancing the photos. For this task, a variety of photo editing software is available, some free, some inexpensive, while the most powerful are paid for. For the retouching phase, Chad went through his processing procedure in Adobe Lightroom where he showed us how he edits his work. This includes bringing out dark shadows, toning down bright spots, sharpening and a host of other repairs. Finally, he showed us a fascinating technique for replacing a grey background in a studio environment.
The Chatham Camera Club would like to thank Chad for his informative presentation.
Our next meeting will be on February 23rd when Keith Blackwell will show us how to take multiple exposures. Jim Pollock will be featured in What I Shoot and we will review our February Photo Challenge. The Novice category is “Silhouettes” and the Intermediate, Advanced and Salon group will show us their “Sunrays” photos.

What type of camera one uses is irrelevant; it is how you use that matters.
