Course Description

When I was learning photography, I wouldn't be sure what settings I should be applying to my photographs and how much those settings need to be applied. There were so many options and so many settings that could be applied, but where do I start? What do I do next? When do I stop? These are all questions I needed answers for. After years of learning, practice and my own experience, I came up with a system. A system that anyone can apply to any photograph and that would transform their photographs from dull to amazing in no time. That system is The 3Cs of Retouching. You apply the 3Cs to any straight-out-of-the-camera photo, and voila, you have a great looking photo!Who this course is for:
  • This course is for photographers to help them retouch their photos

Was recommended this course by a friend. The video quality was really good when it comes to the computer screen recording part as i have tried a tutorial from Lynda before and didn't see how paying for it was worth it due to the computer screen recording practical being laggy. This was high quality stuff so thanks.

This course really gives a step-by-step system to edit my photos. I would always struggle because I didn't know how to go about the editing process, but after watching the course, I have a much better idea. His teaching style is also pretty clear & logical.

This course is useful for me to retouch picture.

By Mahnoor

I had no experience with photo editing before and the idea that there are only 10 steps to follow to edit my photos properly is amazing for me! Because of this course, I got the exact path that I can use to not only make my photos look good but to also eliminate problems with it. I was specially really bad at understanding the concept of exposure and this course really simplified it for me. Moreover, I got to learn the meaning of many different terminologies that I had only heard of but never knew what they meant (for e.g. clarity, hue/sat and highlights/shadows/midtones etc.). Really glad that I took this course! :)

What an amazing course. Really expanded my view on what can be achieved in the postproduction.

By Cathy Howard

A fantastic, concise introduction to Lightroom.

I particularly like the care taken to show beginners how easy it is to overedit.

I wish I had found this before I applied some of the poor editing I have done using very limited knowledge of Lightroom.

I am feeling a lot more confident about opening Lightroom now.

I will definitely follow up with the full course once I have applied this first course. Thank you and well done !

Clear and concise.

Author give idea, example and range as a guideline to audience to learn and follow. This is better than just choose the value you think or feel beautiful which.

The course start with each parameters and later on show how to apply all together at once. I believe this course is good for audience who seeks to know how to start retouch the photo with Camera Raw.

There are area that I would like to point out and I wish instructor can improve in the next course;

The instructor's accent maybe hard to listen to non-English native audience. This can help by adding subtitle or visual aid (brief explanation) when instructor explain the topic. Other visual effect can improve is shortcut, Instructor may add which button audience can presse. So, audience can understand and remember the shortcut easier.

The quality of video voice can improve by make it clearer and louder.

Last, I want to see a comparison between before and after at the end of each chapter. Therefore, I can feel the different how does the effect impact to the original picture.

It is a great course. I was tired of finding courses that looked like a lightroom user manual. This is an applicable course immediately. Although the photographs are not good (it is not a course of photographic composition), the techniques learned allow you to use lightroom with decent results in a short time.

By Sandra Massa

This course delves into functions and features with purpose and direction. A lot of good tips here!

Thanks!
