Wacom Pen Tablets, Photography & Design

Guy Gowan has been a Wacom user since their Intuos tablets were first launched back in 1998. In this seminar he details why he is such an ardent devotee of the Intuos tablet. A Wacom tablet allows you to optimise digital images on your computer in a fast, convenient and effortless way. You can correct exposure problems and remove unwanted objects, as well as improving the colour of pictures or dramatically altering the style of a photograph.
Professional pen tablets are aimed at digital photographers, designers and artists who seek the flexibility and freedom to work in the most comfortable way for processing, editing, painting, retouching and general computer work. Adobe Photoshop users will get more from the new brush capabilities in CS5 when using professional pen tablets. For example, the new brush engine in CS5 offers tools that integrate pen pressure sensitivity, tilt and rotation, as well as emphasise the intuitive and creative nature of the pen.
The new digital tablets are an amazing addition to every photographers workflow and in this seminar Guy demonstrates how and why he utilizes a Wacom tablet for his digital image manipulation and post production.

guygowan.com
Guy Gowan of guygowan.com, is presenting a seminar at each of the 2010 Photovision Roadshows and is famous for his Adobe Photoshop tutorial DVDs. The DVDs will be available at the shows or if you can’t wait go to,
http://www.photovision-shop.com where you can order them for next day delivery.

Guy Gowan has been working with digital images since scanning devices were first connected to hard drives. He has worked, talked and consulted in the design and print industries - an environment where working at speed to the highest quality is paramount.

Since the event of professional digital photography, Guy has demonstrated and taught these principles to a world wide audience of professional photographers working with Adobe Systems and Apple computers.

There are few work-places where an increase in speed and productivity does not mean a drop in quality. Guy's methodologies, along with his understanding of light, range and colour theory, provides a unique way of working that overcomes these compromises.

Hahnemuehle Fine Art

As the first FineArt inkjet paper to be made of approx 90% highly renewable bamboo fibres, Bamboo 290 is helping to conserve valuable resources. Its natural white tone makes it particularly suitable for warmhued colours. The paper’s wide colour gamut and extreme colour density ensures detailed FineArt prints with three-dimensional image sharpness.

Innova Art
Truly Tailored to the Cutting Edge
Tone. Texture. Lustre. Substance. Absolute fidelity to the artist’s creative vision. Strength. Longevity.

This is the difference a great paper can make to a print. And this is the reason some of the world’s best-known digital artists, photographers and printers choose the Innova Art range of coated fine art papers and canvas.

Artist Richard Hamilton, photographer Douglas Menuez, Eric Kunsman of artists’ book studio, Booksmart Studio, USA: all choose Innova.

21st Century Company
Innova Art is different. Many fine art paper companies were founded centuries ago and while some adapted their existing products to take advantage of the switch to digital printing, only Innova Art – the first international supplier of fine art media to be launched in the 21st century – can claim to have designed papers and canvas specifically for digital fine art printing. Innova Art is part of the revolution.

Just
CLEANING & PROTECTIVE PRODUCTS FOR CAMERAS AND ALL OPTICAL EQUIPMENT

Dust is the bane of every photographer’s life. Whether it is dust on the lens, dust on the sensor, the scanner or on transparencies and negatives. Dust can degrade optical equipment, ruin an image, add to retouching costs and damage valuable equipment. Whichever way you look at it, dust costs – period.

At Just we are dedicated to providing solutions to dust problems. We don’t promise to eliminate dust from your life, but we do strive to make it a manageable problem by providing cost effective solutions for a wide variety of imaging situations.

For digital SLR photographers we have safe, guaranteed products to help keep the imaging sensor clean. We also provide guidance, tutorials, product videos and telephone support to help you achieve success when cleaning the sensor.

With some companies charging up to £150 to clean the sensor in a digital SLR, it makes sound economic sense to manage this issue yourself.

We can show you how!

Ex-Spicer Hallfield manager launches MTA the new album solutions company

Managing Director Martin Abraham launches MTA Ltd a new photographic album business, in Buckinghamshire.

Martin Abraham comments “Spicer Hallfield was a legacy company and its closure was a very sad day indeed for all staff and customers. I was proud to work for Spicer Hallfield for over 23 years and wanted to maintain and increase my passion for the album making industry, so after numerous negotiations I launched MTA”.

With years of knowledge in the industry, Abraham launches a young, fresh and modern company backed with a wealth of experience behind it. MTA have already secured UK distribution rights for the popular repositionable self-adhesive products (formerly part of the Spicer Hallfield Madison & Manhattan ranges). The Haddenham-based factory has already developed exciting new ranges that will appeal to photographers and their clients alike.

Abraham continued: “We only source high quality materials that are all hand finished by our elite professional team. Our self-adhesive product line gives our customers flexibility to make and re-make albums they want to enjoy. We intend to extend this range in the coming months with new sizes and compelling new covers.

We will also offer a variety of post bound albums in a range of quality covers – a key advantage for our customers will be the opportunity to trial new cover materials, quarter-bound covers and personalisation options.”
