seeking their own vision.
In our print element, we'll give you instructions on how to successfully
turn your favorite digital images into beautiful prints through the latest version
of Lightroom 2. For those who want to learn more sophisticated printing with
soft proofing in CS3 and CS4, we offer private
printing workshops with our printing
guru, John Pagliuca.
Remember, our tag line reads, "Create great photos; make great
prints!"
If you have not already done so, check our FAQs for
questions you may have as well as equipment and installed downloads you need to bring to the workshop including,
if necessary, the free, 30-day, trial versions of the Adobe products.
Margo and Arnie will show you how to strengthen and

work flow. They make learning fun in visually-rich locations
here and abroad while they guide you toward becoming a better
photographer.
