The Art of Image Enhancement and the magic of maths

About the event

 

Art of Image Enhancement: the magic of maths

This workshop shows you how to make your images magical without spending hours in front of a screen. Knowing how to enhance an image is just as important as knowing which adjustments to use. This practical, app-agnostic workshop strips away software-specific clutter and focuses on core principles that work for any app, any editing environment.

You may use Photoshop, or Lightroom or you may use Affinity Photo, Capture One or ACDSee, On1. It doesn’t matter. It’s like driving different cars: from outside they look different, but the basic operation is the same; only the minor controls work differently. 

This workshop equips you with insights into how all image manipulation software work. You’ll learn how to get the best mileage and smooth performance whatever app you use, even mobile imaging apps.

 

You’ll Learn:

  • The basic under-the-hood workings of imaging software
  • The essential sequence of adjustments for optimum quality
  • How to correct exposure, tone, and colour without destroying detail
  • Proven methods to sharpen effectively — without exaggerating noise
  • Practical strategies to save time while keeping full creative control
  • Different strategies for enlarging images (and explanation of resolution)
  • How to adapt workflows for different output needs: web, print, or archive

Why It’s Different:
You won’t be learning “click here, set that.” Instead, you’ll gain a clear, transferable understanding of what each enhancement process does. By the end, you’ll work faster, with better results, no matter what app or platform you use.

 

Ideal For:

  • Photographers of any level who want consistent results
  • Designers & content creators who handle images regularly
  • Anyone tired of wasting time on trial-and-error editing

Format:
Hands-on exercises, clear explanations, and real-world examples.

Arrive with your own images.

Leave with a solid, repeatable workflow that works everywhere.
