Announcements

Photoshop CS4 Ships

The latest version of Photoshop is finally shipping. After using the beta of CS4 extensively, I can tell you that there are lots of changes. For photographers, the most significant changes are those that were done to the user interface with the goal of making Photoshop easier to understand. Bridge has also been updated to be faster and more efficient and Adobe Camera Raw has also received an upgrade. To learn more, or to download a trial version when it becomes available, follow this link to Adobe's website.

Lightroom 2 Now Available!

If you've been using Lightroom 1, you're going to love the improvements in version 2, especially when the upgrade is only $99. If you haven't tried Lightroom yet, you can download a 30-day trial version. Learn more at Adobe's website.


Lightroom Galleries

Lightroom makes it easy to quickly process photos and upload them to web galleries. Here are some galleries created from a few of Mark's recent photo trips.

Velodrome Racing

Be sure to check out the crash.

Tigard Balloon Fest

Swan Island Dahlias

 

Note: These galleries open in separate windows. Be sure to maximize the window size to enhance the viewing experience. Close each gallery window when you're through viewing it.

One-On-One Private Training

 

This is the Cadillac of training because it allows you to have personal instruction that's customized to fit your individual needs. If you're located in or visiting the Portland, OR metro area, Mark will travel to you for custom training at your studio or home so that you can learn on your own system, with your own images, in your own environment. Training doesn't get any better than this.  Learn more about Private Training here.

 

If you're outside the Portland area, Mark can still come to you for private training. Contact Mark to discuss options and pricing.

 

We support Mac & Windows
