Post Processing…. How a Master Photographer would edit your photos

This month we are honored to have ‘Hutch’ Hutchison host our post processing meeting. He has won too many local, state and national awards to list, so check them out here. Starting with RAW images submitted by members, Hutch will show us the workflow he would use to edit them. Unlike the online tutorials you may have watched, this is an interactive session, so you will be able to ask questions and make comments as he goes through his process. Please review your library for image you want Hutch to use as a basis for this session. Plan to be these. Do not miss this session.
