Welcome 
I specialize in training researchers and clinicians in the use of Photoshop and other digital imaging products and software to get the most value from their images. The continued evolution of digital imaging technology, computer hardware, and software give companies with foresight the opportunity to leverage the integrations of these technologies to their competitive advantage. Successful pharmaceutical research requires the ability to get the most out of the tools researchers use.


Value comes from outstanding communication and high quality research. Let me help you using my 20 years biological research experience, formal business training, and passion for imaging software to solve your problems. Autoradiography and optical microscopy are my specialties.
 
My current work involves the training and development of workflows based on using Photoshop CS3 Extended and associated software.
 
Recent Event

BIOCOMM 2008 – Rochester , NY

Photoshop® CS3 Extended for Research
3 hr Workshop

Session 1 8:30am – 11:30am
Session 2 12:30pm – 3:30pm (Repeat)

While Photoshop has been a useful tool for image processing in research now it can do even more. This workshop will focus on CS3 Extended's new capabilities and revisit some core features.  Over three hours we will cover how to use Photoshop CS3's selection, analysis, and editing tools to evaluate an image's color composition and modify images for research. We will optimize exposure with levels and curves, transform images with layers, and compensate for acquisition problems and limitations. I will also demonstrate adding reference information to images, optimizing DICOM images, and sharing finished images with colleagues. Examples from research will demonstrate real life workflows that aided in evaluating potential therapeutics. Images used in this workshop will be from a variety of sources including microscopes, scanners, digital cameras, medical imaging and scientific imaging equipment.
(Space is limited to 20 participants per workshop.)

This training introduces using Photoshop for biomedical imaging research. I demonstrate Adobe's newest version of Photoshop, CS3 Extended, and how it can be applied in research. I show how to use Photoshop CS3's selection, analysis, and editing tools to evaluate an image's color composition, modify images for research, optimize exposure with levels and curves, transform images with layers, and compensate for acquisition problems and limitations. I also explain how to add reference information to images, annotate and optimize DICOM animations, and share finished images with colleagues. Images come from a variety of sources; scanners, microscopes, and autoradiographic imaging  equipment.

CS3:The Creative License eSeminar Series for Digital Imaging.

The seminar was conducted on Tuesday, August 14th, 2007 at 9:00 A.M. PDT

In this seminar, I demonstrated new selection, measurement, and analysis tools that let you quickly extract and export a wide array of quantitative data from scientific, microscopic and radiological images. Extended now includes native support for DICOM image files.
 



My second title Photoshop CS3 Extended Research Methods and Workflows is now available as an online tutorial at lynda.com. The DVD is also available direct from lynda and Amazon

In Photoshop CS3 Extended Projects: Research Methods and Workflows, I shows how to use Photoshop CS3 for detailed research and presentations with hands-on examples. I evaluates gel images, penetration model samples, autoradiographs, and measurement recording and workflows, he also demonstrates how to create and apply a standard curve. Exercise files accompany the course.
