See Yourself in Print - Self Publishing your Photo Book -- A coffee table photo book provides a great way to present your images - whether it's a travel book, wedding album, family or baby record, or a portfolio. In recent years the popularity and accessibility of this type of publication has mushroomed. There are now so many options for vendors, software, and book constructions that the choices can be confusing. This program examines the choices and important parameters to consider, and shows the results you can expect. And, the results will make you want to see yourself in print!

I've been working at photography at some level or another since 1961 when I was 9 years old and making my earliest attempts to process film and make prints in the basement closet. When I was 14, my great uncle gave me an old (even back then) Voigtlander bellows camera and I began to teach myself what to do with a manual aperture and shutter speed. But the more recent event that made the biggest difference in my work ,was the arrival of an affordable Digital SLR and the related ability to digitally edit high resolution images in PhotoShop. I have an MS computer science and work with computers professionally, so I am very comfortable in the digital world. While I'm far from a leading expert, I've managed to learn some tricks that have turned some of my better images into award winners and have had reasonable success at club and interclub competitions. PhotoShop is certainally one of the more important reasons that continued to improve my acceptance hit ration at PSA exhibitions. I put this workshop together in the hopes of introducing the uninitiated to one of the most powerful aspects of photoshop, layers and layer masking .
