In person & Zoom Meeting – Nic Stove
Join professional nature photographer Nic Stover to talk about ways we can improve the quality of our images using plugins. Plugins are software programs designed to supplement the capabilities of our editing software and can often do a better job improving your images than Lightroom or Photoshop alone.
This presentation is about two software programs can increase the sharpness of your images, and enable you to print with more detail. The first is the Topaz Labs collection. It does not replace parts of your image with scenes that do not exist but instead reduce noise, sharpen, and help you scale your images to larger sizes. Nic will demonstrate DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI, and GigaPixel AI.
Nic will also demonstrate the two plugins created by NIK from DxO: Color Efex and Nik Silver Efex for Black & White Photography. These work in BOTH Lightroom and Photoshop, but they also work as stand alone programs.
Zoom and In-person meetings opens at 6:30 pm for a social time before the presentation. Visitors are always welcome.
