VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic Together
Feb 6 - 7, 2021
Saturday-Sunday, 9-11:30AM & 1-4PM MST
Concept
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic are a powerful team you can use together to enhance your photos and create anything you can imagine. In this two-day weekend workshop you’ll learn how and when to take photos back and forth between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop so you can make your photos look their best, use them creatively, and keep them organized. We’ll focus on practical scenarios in which it makes most sense to use Photoshop and Lightroom together, including compositing, retouching, replacing backgrounds, and adding creative effects. Along the way, you’ll practice popular techniques and level up your skills in both programs.
This class is for you if you already have some experience with both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. You don’t have to be an expert, but knowing your way around layers and selections in Photoshop, as well as importing and basic editing in Lightroom Classic will help you get the most out of this workshop.
This workshop meets via Zoom Video Conferencing software (download free from Zoom.com). An Anderson Ranch staff member co-teaches the class and coordinates the online platform. Further details will be emailed to registrants.
Media
Mac or Windows computer. Install the latest versions of Adobe Lightroom Classic and Adobe Photoshop (trial versions are fine).

Painting and Photography: An Archaeological Approach to Text and Image
Kate Leonard
Tuition $2,150
Code JANSTU2025P
Two art forms collide in this fascinating look at the intersection of photography and painting. Join us for an engaging exploration of the artistic synthesis between these two distinct art forms. Discover new transfer techniques that integrate photographic images and text directly onto painted surfaces. Using traditional collage and photomontage, master new methods that allow for opaque and translucent layers. Reductive methods such as sanding and scraping reveal the history of earlier photographic layers and suggest an archaeological approach to image development. We begin each morning with a technical demonstration illustrated with visual examples from contemporary art. A range of integrated photographic painting approaches will be introduced on paper, canvas and panels in acrylic. By midweek, our investigations continue to larger artworks tailored to each student.

Advanced Mentored Studies: Visual Storytelling and Documentary Photography Projects
Ed Kashi, James Estrin
Tuition $1,980
Code P1201-25
The digital age has given documentary photographers and photojournalists new ways to tell stories with greater authorship and control. This workshop focuses on how to create a personal documentary project and get it seen. The ultimate goal is to find a subject that speaks to a personal passion, document it in a unique visual style, then disseminate the work. Participants engage new technologies to become more effective storytellers, which include social media, transmedia, virtual reality, and digital video. 2025 is the third year of this three-year intensive program. For more information about our next session of this Advanced Mentored Studies program, which begins in 2026, please contact Andrea Jenkins Wallace, Vice President of Artistic Affairs and Artistic Director of Photography and New Media, at [email protected].
