"The presentation started with a brief explanation of Ansel Adams Zone System and how those zones relate to today’s histograms in digital imaging software packages. For the presentation, Joe took a color digital RAW image thru Adobe Lightroom then into the Nik software group, mainly Silver Efex Pro and finally on to Adobe Photoshop for final levels adjustments. In each program, he explained the best usage of specific tools of that program to build final Black and White Image, noting when to stop in one program and begin work in the program."
