Lightroom Tutoring:

I was one of the first beta testers of Lightroom. I stuck with it throughout all the initial teething problems when it was One Point Oh. Boy was it slow to begin with! But the intuitive design and seamless integration with Photoshop still makes it a delight to drive. Once you start to remember all the keyboard shortcuts, your photographic workflow develops to the point where you couldn't imagine not using Lightroom. So I can offer you all my experience with using this program since the beginning. I still don't know all the little hints and tips that you can find on Photoshopuser.com, but then that's why I'm a NAPP member and attend as many seminars as I can.

Photoshop Tutoring:

For many years I couldn't afford the high price tag of Photoshop. I used the bargain basement PaintShop Pro for a long time. Then I had a bootleg copy of Photoshop 9.0 from a Russian software emporium (out the back of a car in Siberia and for the extortionate sum of $3!!), yet it wasn't until I went legitimate with CS2 that I really started to see the benefits of this Adobe program. I am still amazed at all it can do, even though my experience is primarily focused on retouching/editing of portraiture photographs. I know there is a lot more to take advantage of if need be.

So if you are just starting out using either or both of these Adobe programs, I can help you get the most of them by providing personal coaching. Tell me what you want to achieve and I'll put together a program that maximizes my time with you. Or we can just sit down together and I'll show you what I do, you show me what you do, and we'll talk about the benefits of both.
