A photograph can often look great when it's being taken but is disappointing when finally printed or looked at on a computer monitor. Many beginner photographers assume that they are not photographing well or that they need a better or newer camera but often all that the picture needs is some enhancement and editing. Nearly every professional picture you have ever seen has been manipulated in some way and this course will show you how to do the same using FREE tools and some easy and quick techniques. Enhance your photographs using FREE softwa re Learn how to select, catalogue and archive your images quickly and efficiently Make basic corrections using free software to make your images stand out. Discover the free software that you can use to enhance and shape your photographs to achieve a professional finish In the course I show you exactly where to download the free software that you will need and also how to use it to achieve a smooth and time efficient workflow. We start by selecting the pictures to work on using software to quickly and efficiently save and catalogue images. We then go on to make basic corrections that will lift your images up a level before finally moving on to shaping and enhancing the photographs in exactly the same way as a professional photographer to achieve a final high quality finish.

Snapseed is one of the best apps for editing photographs. It is very intuitive, user friendly and free. It works both on Android and iOS and for someone who enjoys taking smartphone photos, it is an excellent choice for editing. The goal of this course is to help you be(come) confident in using Snapseed, starting from the very beginning, the tools. Once you understand how these tools work, then you can use them precisely on your needs and not just apply them and hope they work. Because photography is such a creative domain, no two photos are alike. And nor is their editing. Therefore, it is best to understand what you are doing (both in taking photos and editing) and apply that knowledge. Next, after you understand what each tool does, you can apply them individually or combined, confident that you will know what the end result will look like. Unlike other courses, this one covers the basics of these tools, to give you knowledge and confidence. If you already know these tools, simply skip to the parts that are of interest for you. You will notice that the course is divided in three major parts. First part covers the basic tools I mentioned before (how to apply each tool to an image and the effects it brings). The second part covers examples of simple editing applied to certain images, where several tools are combined. And the third part covers more advanced editing, where you can see nine images from three categories (architecture, landscape and commercial), edited from zero to finish, with most of the tools combined and explained. For your convenience, I also added the images used for this course, so you can use them yourself in your editing and learning process. Feel free to use them or experiment with your own photos. Taking part in this course, you will receive an A to Z training from a professional photographer and trainer, on a pace that is specifically thought for you, with real life examples of locations and objects. Going through this course will give you access to all the updates that will follow and allow you to edit both your personal photos in a way to amaze your friends and also edit images for professional reasons, should you decide you want to sell photos online or photos of products to be commercialized online. The info I give in this course also comes from years of experience selling photos online on dedicated websites for stock photography. And nowadays, with the advances of smartphone cameras and editing apps, the balance of DSLR versus smartphone photos rapidly tilts towards smartphone photos for me and other photographers and, why not, for you as well. In the end, you will become more consistent in taking photos, because now you know that you are able to bring them to life the way you saw them in your mind. You will also become more confident in editing photos and advancing into more complex editing techniques. Last, you will do all of this in a fun and relaxing way. Because photography should be, first and foremost, enjoyable.

This course will not teach you how to make money quick, but it will teach you how to create and edit photos and graphics for Facebook and other marketing materials with software that is freely available on the web. Some of the techniques you will learn in this course can also be applied to professional programs like Adobe Photoshop. For example, you will learn about various graphic file formats and to use layers in editing images. This course is primarily taught through video demonstration. However, you will also be provided with a Paint dot net quick reference guide and several other useful handouts in understanding graphics for the web and for print. We will begin by learning to download and install the Paint dot net software. Then we will spend some time learning to get around in the GUI (Graphical User Interface). Next we will learn how to use the tools of the software. Then we will learn how to draw a simple picture and edit a photograph. Finally, we will learn a few cool techniques to make your images unique. This course will save you from having to purchase expensive image editing software to create images that look like you used the expensive software.

‘Very clear teaching style. Comprehensive coverage of LR's controls. I feel that I can trust what this teacher is telling me.’ - Michael Mackay ‘Engaging instructor, well planned useful content given in a way that keeps you watching and learning.’ - Pamela Drummond ‘Excellent material, great teaching style and pace. Highly recommend!’ - James Ecker ‘Jellis is very responsive both in the course and on his social media platforms. This is my second course of his that I have purchased and I am never disappointed. Well done!’ - Dereck Smith _______________________________________ *NOTE: This course teaches you how to work with Lightroom Classic, not Lightroom CC. Some of the bad reviews and ratings are from people who thought this course was about Lightroom CC. They got confused because it looked different than in the course, and thus they gave a bad rating. The difference between Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC: Lightroom CC is the new cloud-based photo service of Adobe that works across desktop, mobile, and web. Lightroom Classic is the desktop-focused digital photography product. In many ways, Lightroom CC is more user-friendly, but it also has fewer tools at its disposal. While this course teaches you how to work with Lightroom Classic and Photoshop, you will have no problem using Lightroom CC if you know how to use all the tools in Lightroom Classic. Both versions have the same tools. Lightroom Classic simply offers more in-depth editing possibilities and tools. Therefore, Lightroom Classic is also a recommended program for a photographer to know how to use.* _______________________________________ “Photography is the story I fail to put into words.” - Destin Sparks You are about to learn how to tell your story even better.
