I'm amazing at how many courses Proud Photographer has managed in such a short time. I would like to suggest an idea for a new one. A course in which it's content isn't talked about much, but is probably one of the most important part of the photography process for most, and one that anyone can benefit from that enjoys editing ones images.
A Workflow Course.
When I got series about selling my images and/or just presenting the best images possible, I spent a year researching workflows, buying workflow ebooks, and lot of trial and error. I wasn't happy with any one workflow in totality. I ended up taking the best from about 5 different workflows I found with some of my changes as well.
The problem with most that edit there images is there is no consistency to the workflow, things are done in the wrong order, and what is done to the images does more harm than good at times.
I've come to know the great expertize of Peter and his staff, and the quality of the courses they develop. I could only image a great workflow course coming out of PP and how popular and in demand it would be.
My idea:
A detailed workflow that takes an image through every stage of the editing process. From getting it out of the camera and into the computer, to the final step of the sharpening process and resizing depending on it's use. This workflow can be in the form of a graded course similar to the other PP courses, or in can be in ebook form.
Things that should/could be covered in this course:
1. transferring images
2. pros and cons of RAW vs jpeg
3. backing up
4. what adjustment layers do to an image
5. what order you should apply adj layers
6. levels and how to adjust
7. histograms and how to read
8. how to create a workflow action so it can put things in order
9. how to use NR
10.techniques on sharpening
11.how to output and image
12.the proper way of setting up for printing.
13.dodge and burn
14.clone and heal
15.camera raw
16.color correction
I can think of many more things that could be covered, but you get the idea, you also understand how important all these things are that combine to bring out the best of your images in a comprehensive and repeatable way. You also get the idea how extensive and important a workflow can be.
I know that even after 2 years of refining my workflow, I would buy this course from Peter and company in a heartbeat because I know there are things I could learn from them.
What do you think Peter? Members?
