We encourage you to bring your own photographs to print during our training sessions. Please ensure that you have either RAW or JPEG formats to ensure you achieve the best results.
When it comes to preparing digital files for printing, we recommend providing your images in either RAW or JPEG format. These formats offer the best flexibility and compatibility for our printing processes.
During our training sessions, we provide access to our top-of-the-line Canon and Epson demonstration printers. These industry-leading printers offer exceptional print quality and precision, ensuring your images come to life in stunning detail. To complement these printers, we use our premium Fotospeed Signature Range papers.
To make the most out of our training courses, we recommend having access to certain software programs. For general editing and enhancing your photographs, having software such as Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop, or Capture One is highly beneficial. If you're participating in our Black & White Printing Workshop, having Silver Efex, a popular plugin for creating stunning black and white conversions, will further enhance your learning experience.
