Live Webinar: Deep Dive Into Color

If you can’t make it to the live session, register and a recording will be sent to you afterwards.

$99  $79    3:00pm Eastern / 2:00pm Central / 1:00 Mountain / 12:00 Pacific

Finally understand how color works and use the knowledge to greatly improve your photos!

Kevin Slimp has taught designers and photographers the ins and outs of Photoshop for more than 30 years. However, unless you’re fortunate enough to attend an all-day class, you’ve probably never taken a “deep dive” into understanding how all those color settings work and what they mean. During this session, Kevin will take his time and explain exactly what many of the settings and tools in Photoshop do and you will learn how to tweak settings to get the very best results on your printed page and website.

Yes, Kevin will take a few minutes to take you through the best steps to edit your photos … but he will go through those quickly. He will save the bulk of his time to showing exactly HOW they work and what all those settings mean.

Once you understand the capabilities of tools and settings like dot gain, color settings, mixing colors, the specifics of CMYK, color management, color profiles, sampler tools, and so much more.

This is the first intense color class Kevin has taught in years – and his first online. This is the type of class newspaper professionals used to travel to Knoxville, Tennessee (and spend thousands of dollars) to attend the Newspaper Institute, which Kevin directed for 20 years. A detailed outline will be provided.

Do not miss this opportunity. Start off 2026 with a bang by getting inside your color settings and making those photos pop off the page!

Bring two pens. You’ll need them.

Advanced Photoshop & InDesign: A Powerful Combination

Designers, Editors and Publishers     September 15

If you can’t make it to the live event, go ahead and register. We’ll be glad to send you a recording of the session afterward.

60 Minutes  •  $69

Kevin Slimp taught his first Photoshop class for the Kentucky Press Association in 1995. When asked to teach the class, the organizer told Kevin to expect 15 to 20 attendees. When Kevin arrived in Lexington, Kentucky to teach the class, almost 200 newspaper publishers, editors, and designers were in attendance.

Kevin taught his first InDesign class in 1999, just a few days after the application became available. He had been involved in the development of the product as a beta tester for more than two years and taught a class of 98 newspaper designers in a hotel ballroom in Phoenix, Arizona.

In this session, Kevin will share some of the most valuable advanced tools in both InDesign and Photoshop. Unsurprisingly, InDesign and Photoshop were meant to be used together. What surprises some users is that tools are built into the applications to create a seamless workflow between the two.

Join Kevin on September 15 for his first-ever webinar on the topic of finding ways to make Photoshop and InDesign work even better together.
