I created
these videos so folks would have a simple, straight-forward
presentation on learning the basics of image processing in
Photoshop. I don't sell software, nor am I paid by any
company to present a certain viewpoint. Adobe Elements
(current version 9) is a great program for many photographers
who aren't worried about taking their processing to the highest
levels. Eventually, I will have a set of Elements videos
here as well. Photoshop is the program that is the
industry standard when it comes to professional image processing
- that's why I use it and that's why I created these videos.
They are in the MP4 format to keep them as small as possible,
though the download time will be a factor of your internet
speed.
Each video builds on the one before it. They are meant to
help those new to photoshop. Every trick and option is not
explained in the videos - rather, the important tools and their
applications to get you processing your photos in a quick,
organized, and functional way are explained. I've tried to
keep the videos short and to the point. I explain the way
I process images (both RAW and JPG) and why I include the steps
I do.
This is my workflow. I would expect those starting out to
use these videos to build up their own skill levels - then
create a workflow that works for them. Every professional
photographer swears by their methods to process images - I
don't. I'm learning new techniques and tricks through
trial and error, through magazines and manuals, and through some
of the workshops I have attended.
New videos will be added as I create them.

(Layers, Actions, etc) on the screen in an order that will improve your
image processing workflow. The video explains how to name your
workspace so it opens every time CS5 starts. A functional
workspace is where you start.
