New! Creative Digital Processing Video Tutorials

After many months of false starts and hard work, I am pleased to announce the launch of my new series of Creative Digital Processing video tutorials. These videos present my personal digital image processing workflow using Adobe Camera Raw and Adobe Photoshop CS5. The first eight videos in the series focus on basic techniques for raw conversion, working with layers and masks, image editing using adjustment layers, black & white conversion, and blending multiple exposures. I know from leading workshops and answering questions online that digital image processing is a vexing and mysterious challenge for most photo enthusiasts. Hopefully, these videos will help you get comfortable with working in Photoshop, and help you take your images to new heights.

Personally, I think that instructional videos are simply the best way to learn the complexities of digital image processing. Written tutorials, no matter how thorough and generously illustrated with screen shots, simply can’t compete with seeing it in action. My video tutorials will get your digital processing workflow revved up in no time.

But wait, that’s not all—the first two videos in the series are absolutely free! I’d love to give them all away for free, but hey, I have to find a way to pay my mortgage. That said, I’ve priced each of the rest of the videos much less than the cost of a double-orange-venti-nonfat-organic-chocolate-brownie-frappuccino—or, for that matter, the cost of a regular cup of coffee at most upscale coffee shops. I’ve designed these videos to be cumulative, with new lessons and techniques introduced as you progress through the series, so I want to keep the total acquisition cost as reasonable as possible.

I’ve worked hard to keep these videos instructive, easy to understand, and inexpensive. I’ve also tried to find the right balance between quantity of information, view-ability, and quality, all while optimizing file size for easy download. These videos are produced in QuickTime Movie format. Chances are, your computer already has a media player capable of reading and displaying QuickTime files. If not, you can download the QuickTime player for free.

I hope you enjoy these tutorials, and the many more that will follow. Thanks for your support!
