This class is a guided tour through the digital printing process for those without the time to take the full six-week course. Class will include helpful demonstrations, a tutorial on preparing your files for print, and an introduction to a simple, effective printing workflow. You’ll also get to handle some of the finest quality digital papers available so you can decide which materials to use for your own work.

Required prerequisite: Basic Photoshop (not Elements) or instructor’s consent.

Over the years Ron Kaplan has had a few careers: lawyer; contractor; student chef; lawyer again; and winery owner. Throughout that time he’s always been a photographer. In fact, Kaplan has been taking pictures for 50 years or so, ever since his grandfather gave him his first camera, an Agfa Plenax PB 20, a bellows camera. Ron has had darkrooms for both color and black and white for over 30 years, until 1999 when he went digital. Ron has taught digital fine-art printing techniques at Portland Community College and at Newspace since 2007.
