A few thoughts from Gavin…
Cloning, healing, patching, replacing. Whatever you call it, is about removing or refining elements in an image that shouldn’t be there. All this came long before digital, when master retouchers used airbrushes to the same effect. I’ve seen it done, and it;s amazing. Digital gives to the ability to retouch faster and better than ever. But you need to understand the tools. The Cloning Magic workshop is the first of my new Digital Darkroom series and put simply, you’ll learn to edit better and to know when and where to use your tools.
Sometimes you want an image that’s all natural. But other times you need to make changes. At those times perfect retouching is critical to a professional quality photo. There’s little more amateurish than an image fix that everyone can see took place. I’m going to show you the tools a tricks to get your pixels perfect and make image that are clean and polished.
In this bite sized evening workshop we’ll focus on cleaning images better. From healing sensor spots to taking out people while restoring an old print. We’ll start with basic tools and what you can accomplish in LR, then move quickly to advanced cloning techniques. You’ll learn what tools to use and when, how to visualize and plan your edits to avoid ugly messes and redundancies in your images and how make your alterations look like they never happened.
*Video Recordings. This is meant as a live workshop, but sometimes we need a recap. The workshop will be recorded and published online as a bonus attendee only review video, for no extra charge. The video is not guaranteed, as technical issues are possible with such a long recording, but we’ve never had an issue. If for some reason the video fails, attendees would be given a link access the recording the next time the workshop occurred.

Getting the most from an online workshop:
- You’ll need a computer with a broadband internet connection. You should also have a mic or a phone so you can join the conversation.
- Having a second monitor connected is a good idea as it allows you to have chat, question windows, etc on one screen, while watching on the other. This is not at all required but can make the whole experience better.
- It’s not critical, but I also recommended you have the software we’re working with installed on the same, or nearby system.
