Learn Photo Editing

Click Image To Visit Site FACT: The most important purchase you can make to improve your photos is NOT a new expensive camera or lense! Most people think that upgrading their entry level DSLR and spending sometimes as much as $3000 for a new camera will bring their photography to "the next level". Or they think that a $2000 pro lens will be the difference between amateur and professional looking photos. The truth is…this is mostly a myth. Let’s take for example a Canon T4i(entry level DSLR) and a Canon 5D Mark III(Pro Level), put them on the same tripod and take the same photo (using 2 capable lenses with equivalent focal lengths) and in most situations, the majority of people you show the photo to won’t be able to see a noticeable difference. However (!), show people an expertly edited/color corrected/color graded photo and then the same photo that either came straight out of the camera or was poorly edited and people will IMMEDIATELY see a HUGE difference. If you don’t know already, most great photos you see out there have been skillfully post-processed and edited in softwares like Photoshop, Lightroom and Photomatix(HDR photos). To me, it makes NO sense to buy and buy more camera gears in the hope of taking better photos while neglecting what in the end will make the biggest difference – your photo editing know-how and skills!

With many years of experience as a professional graphic artist, photo editor, colorist (photo & video) and photographer, I offer here training tutorials that will teach you, step by step, how you can take your photos to the NEXT LEVEL! You will learn the techniques I use to color grade, color correct and create HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos. Note that the tutorials here are not just useful for photographers but also for graphic artists and Photoshop enthusiasts who want to improve their image editing skills, create stunning photo manipulations and composites, learn how to better color grade, color correct, etc…



You can pay as much as $40 for "Photoshop magazines" that offer very superficial tutorials – you get a much better deal here as I reveal my photo editing secrets for a little more than $3 per tutorial! By becoming member of this site, you’ll have access to IN-DEPTH tutorials that will take you STEP BY STEP through the process of creating the images you see on this page – then you’ll be able to create your own! Source images for the tutorials are supplied to you so you’ll be able to do exactly what I did. The tutorials were all done using Photoshop CS5 but aside from the "Vintage Dog" tutorial, previous CS versions should do just fine. If you want to try out a more recent version, Adobe offers a free 30 day trial. I also used the software Photomatix (www.hdrsoft.com) for the "Haunted House" and the "Mountains" tutorials (for HDR Photography & Tone Mapping). You can use the FREE Trial version of Photomatix… Read more…
