So, have you ever asked yourself,
“What makes a good color print, and how do I use
the basics of Photoshop to achieve my desired results?”
If so, then this video is for you! Using the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Super Simple) method, you’ll learn how to take well-exposed digital images and improve them, sometimes dramatically, with just a few key but critical functions.

• You can download copious notes (see link below) – – just in case you cannot watch it all in one sitting, or need to refer back to it (and you will!).
• Think of it as a “study” video, if you will – heck, it’s an hour & six minutes long! How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! So, perhaps watch this in 10 to 20 minute segments? …
• Also, unlike the “live” event, you’ll see full-on annotations, key points highlighted, and other stuff not seen at the time of recording – enjoy!
