If he's been using the software since it began, why does he use the term "font" for "typeface". Fonts are NOT typefaces; typeface is the style of lettering. Also, an ellipse is not an oval and an oval is not an ellipse.
The best course I've ever seen!
Comprehensive, well thought out and organized. I have heard the basics before, but not to this depth. Lindsay definitely knows her stuff! And there was enough reinforcement without overdone repetition to drill in the material. I feel much more confident with the topic and feel like I could handle some problem-solving on location. Now I just need to get out there and practice!
This was the best class on lighting I have ever taken. If you get the chance to take this course take it!!!
I was thrilled to learn that this course was coming and was still surprised by how much Tom over-delivered on my already high expectations! I bought his riveting "Images of Nature" book from the Denver airport gallery a few decades back, where I was blown away by his prints. I've done eight freelance assignments for National Geographic across the decades, so my interest included teaching ideas and I loved his approach to this presentation. This was superb. I would highly recommend these 10 1/2 hours to any budding wildlife photographers!
Some great tips and insights. The poor videography is just very distracting, putting the camera on a tripod would have fixed that. It's weird that someone so into details can put out a course with such jittery videography.
Great class. I've been doing headshots in a rather haphazard way for a while. This class showed me so many ways to improve my work. Thanks, Gary! I include licensing with my day rate. So instead of charging $1000 for a half day, I charge $1500. Then I don't get questions from clients.
Great class to help you establish and understand workflow in Lightroom Classic. I also loved the presets that accompanied the class.
Excellent presentation! A lot of very useful information!!
Wonderful. I am a (very curious) amateur photographer and for me this was all really interesting. Clearly spoken, nice examples, very educational indeed. Some doubts about making (too?) many changes in photos with generative AI, changing color, etc.: where does editing of a real word picture change into painting and creating something non-existent? And in some lessons the transcript (and subtitles) are missing. For people not having english as their mother language they are sometimes quite helpful. All in all: very recommended!
The class content is perfect for a beginner like me, and the instructor is very knowledgeable. I am also glad the classes are recorded and am looking forward to the rest of the class next year.
Its a great Course. My girlfriend has done it aswell.
This class is for intermediate to advanced print people. I enjoyed the smooth process of printing and would recommend it to others. Lots of information has been covered. Thank You)
One major drawback for me, too many interruptions from the lady to the far side, this slowed down the process and created a stop go feel to the process. It felt as if she was competing with Lindsay for attention.
This is a very effective intro to Photoshop. The instructor was thorough, attentive, enthusiastic, and helpful.
Great starter class with just the right amount of information to pique your interest to learn more about each topic. Highly recommend for the beginner to start here!
Amazing course! Tom Mangelsen is not only an expert photographer but a super engaging storyteller. My photograph has already improved. Tom is now on my shoulder, out there with me -his voice and advice firmly in my mind guiding me with composition and just generally enjoying the experience of it all. Highly recommend his course!!
This class is a winner! What an amazing, awesome and inspiring class. Tom is not only an expert but a super interesting storyteller. I feel my photography has improved already. Tom is now on my shoulder guiding my composition decisions and more. Highly recommend!!
In my opinion, this is the best headshot class offered on this site.
you are doing well
There is good content here, but Roberto's explanations of how lighting works is really, really poor. It is difficult to watch, it is so bad.
Awesome!
This class totally exceeded my expectations. I got so much information from it... I really appreciate that Brooke also included topics that are rarely spoken about and that are crucial to know. She covered many things that you don't get in other classes.
really good. really into the topic. not to much basics.
There were several mind-blowing moments of things I never knew, that were incredible. However, it was very strange how each lesson ended abruptly in the middle of him teaching something. It seems that this class must have been pieced together from longer lessons and we don't get the full lessons here. It was frustrating when the lesson would end mid-sentence when there was something I was very interested in watching to completion. Perhaps it should be re-named the A-W Bootcamp! LOL! Where not cut off, the material was excellent, deep and thorough. Definitely worth watching! [note: We've corrected the truncated lessons! Sorry about that! --staff]
