From Capture to Print with Rocco Ancora

Passion, knowledge, didactics and joy come together. Really great.

For anyone serious about getting the best from their images this course is a must. Rocco is such a qualified and passionate educatour and explains everything in very understandable language . I can see myself revisiting most of his lessons many times.

I wanted to start my fine art printing business and started by reading a books which was very helpful. I don't know why this course felt like it filled all the gaps I had in my previous learning process. Rocco was very friendly and to the point in giving. I definitely recommend this class. But also recommend reading some books.

Very, very instructive. Some things I'd like to know, for instance why are there two different evaluation files with different brightness - Rocco doesn't adress that. But in all a lot of pieces falling into place when it comes to printing.

Great course. Very thorough. Rocco is a great Master of photography. He is a world renowned Print Award winner and judge. Great to see CreativeLive getting such esteemed talent.

Questa è una classe fondamentale per tutti i fotografi, anche quelli professionisti, perchè spiega in maniera chiara con il giusto grado di approfondimento la gestione del colore, spazzando via dubbi e leggende su come questa debba essere fatta. Rocco è un insegnante chiaro e dimostra tutta la sua competenza in materia. Molto interessante anche la parte di conversione in bianco e nero delle foto. Davvero una classe superba.

I have watched several classes here at Creative Live, but this will be the first time I leave a review. I felt compelled to do so because of how informative this class was. I was terrified of learning how to print, but after watching this class, I now have a calibrated screen, a proper color management workflow, an understanding of paper profiles, and a printer that now prints pretty damn close to what is on my MacBook Pro screen. Oh, and an inspiration to place my art into the physical world. I am so excited about the opportunities printing my work will offer - from fun and creative endeavors to sales. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn how to properly translate their work to print.

This is quite simply the best course I have bought on Creative Live and probably the clearest and most helpful I have taken for a long time. I love printing, I have printed a lot but was missing a lot of technical and process knowledge. I feel so empowered now. THANK YOU!!!!!

This has to be the best class I have ever watched pertaining to photography. Totally engaging. Rocco you are an exceptional teacher. Your techniques are different than anything I have seen. Appreciate you sharing with all so we can become better photographers from start to finish.

Rocco, this course was truly amazing to me. This has totally how I see capturing and printing; and color management. I recently purchased a printing. Something changed in me when I saw my first image come out of the printer. It was as if I felt like a true photographer. I thank you for your teaching and being an inspiration to many of us.

Amazing lessons and very detailed! Thank you Rocco!

I learned some major things I was doing wrong, which was very helpful and timely before I spent more money on printing! I will say, he's very fast and doesn't explain most of what he's doing, so consider this an advanced class. I am now getting into the Photoshop lessons and am totally lost. He goes so fast, without taking an extra 10 seconds to tell you where to find the menu options he's using. I wish he'd slow down just a bit. Otherwise, it's excellent.

Whilst I've been fortunate enough to book in and do most of this in a one-on-one setting with Rocco, I own and constantly refer to this class as it is almost​ as good as being at the desk with him in person. An absolute must for any photographer who wants to be complete and take their work into its ultimate form as a print.

Love this class. It is the right one if you want to understand this process. Thank you Rocco!

Simply, Awesome!!! I have been photographing for over 18 years and I always love listening to new ideas and techniques. Rocco hit the nail squarely on the head in a clear, concise and down to earth style.

A treasure trove of information for every photographer who wants to see their work become a reality. I believe the print is the final and arguably the most important part of the photography process. It is what remains of our work and our passions. Like many photographers out there, I was overwhelmed and intimidated by the printing process of today (so much technical stuff!) but this course, through Rocco's expertise, walks you through all that in a very logical way. It's invaluable! I will definitely be using this course as a resource while I print and I'm very excited (not scared) to see my work come to life!

I am so thankful that I found this class. Rocco is a wonderful teacher. He made the class interesting and he made it easy to follow. I have always thought that getting a great print was just as important as capturing and editing the image properly. I always struggled with getting the prints to look like the image on my screen. Now I know how to make them look their best. A huge thank you to Rocco and CreativeLive!!

This class is fantastic! One of the best courses I have taken on Creative Live. Rocco is an excellent teacher who clearly explains things from start to finish. I have been doing my own large format printing for one year, and having that base was very helpful to build onto. Highly recommend this class if you do your own printing!

This class has been one of the most worthwhile investments I have made in my photography journey. I went from having mediocre print results and being genuinely stressed about the process to getting results that I am very happy with, and that were actually fairly easily to achieve after watching this course. I previously watched another (shorter) course by a different instructor on Creative Live that wasn't very helpful. I would highly recommend this class to any photographer who really wants to understand how to get great results with printing.

Great course. Rocco is amazing. I leant so much through this course and will keep going back to this.

Extremely worthwhile particularly for the tools and techniques Rocco uses. This course will help me greatly with my photography. Great value!

Puting all knowledge of image production from understanding color space to exposing and from color correction to sharpening an image together, made this class valuable to attend. I learned a lot, Thanks, Rocco.

I own 178 Creative Live classes and there are many, many outstanding classes. For me, this class is #1. Rocco is very knowledgeable and knows how to articulate complicated topics in a straight forward manner. He obviously spent a great deal of time and thought planning his class.

What a fantastic class! I typically don't stay engaged from more than an hour at a time when it comes to on-line classes. However, everything presented by Rocco was not only new for me but also seemed to be things anyone in photography should know, even if they do not choose to print their work. I am thoroughly grateful for the experience as I came away with more knowledge of color and how my choices in each step impact my final product. Thanks to Rocco for presenting such a thorough, informative and cohesive course.

This class was a revelation. There's a lot of technical information, some of which I knew, but Rocco does an excellent job of breaking everything down and concisely explaining how color profiles work, and how they relate to your camera and your printers. Invaluable. Worth every penny whether you're a beginner or a pro.
