November 2 2016 Meeting - Lisa Cuchara, PhD, HonNEC "Applying Textures to Photographs"

Wednesday, November 2, 20166 to 9 p.m. | Derryfield Country Club

When we refer to a “texture” as a photographic tool,we mean a photograph that is placed on top ofanother photograph and then “blended” or adjustedto affect how it is portrayed. “Textures” can be photographsof rust, peeling paint, old paper , etc., but they can also be clouds,bokeh, bubbles, water drops, wallpaper, walls, words, old letters, grass, etc.  The specific texture you pick will affect how your photograph underneath looks, but you have additional choices by changing the blending mode. Join Lisa as she shows you how to edit some of your photographs to give them a different feel by applying textures to them. Textures add a mood or a feel to an image, making the photograph softer, warmer, grungier, older, etc. In this intermediate workshop (assumes knowledge of layers and masks) Lisa will show you how to collect your own textures, how to use textures, how to remove textures from part of an image, how to remove color from a texture and change the color of the texture, and how to prevent the texture from affecting of the photograph below while leaving the color.

Join us for a buffet dinner and socializing from 6 to 7:15 p.m. followed by the program from 7:30 to 9 p.m. The cost for dinner is $25 and can be paid at the door. E-mail Madonna Lovett Repeta at M_Studio@comcast.
