Digital Photography Coach | Kristy May

Digital photography makes taking pictures easier than ever. But after the click, then what? Digital photographers of all levels face challenges such as where to store images, how to convert them from raw formats, how to easily distribute them online or make prints and photo books. Whether you are an individual photographer (professional or amateur), a company or an educational institution, a digital photography coach can serve you in the following areas:

I can teach you how organization software programs such as Lightroom, Expression Media, Picasa and others can help you make the most of your image collection.

I teach raw processing using Lightroom, Camera Raw and Capture One and advanced editing techniques in Photoshop, including retouching, masking, compositing, filters and creating actions.

I evaluate storage needs, set up archiving systems, RAID or external hard drives so your images are safe.

I create custom-written archiving and processing workflows to suit your needs so you always know what to do next.

I can help you get excellent screen and printer output correlation using monitor calibration, printer paper profiles and third-party RIPS with your inkjet printer.

I show how to create on-demand photo books using iPhoto, Aperture, Blurb or Lulu
and easy custom Web galleries using Expression Media and Lightroom.
