The Digital Darkroom: Transformative Editing for Photographers

The wealth of knowledge and sharing of techniques in this course is unbelievable! Four incredibly talented photographers sharing their workflows on how they create their art...it doesn't get much better than that! There are so many ways to edit photos and achieve the look the photographer is after. These instructor's varied skillsets allow the viewer to pick and choose techniques and tricks that they can then add to their own workflows! There is something for EVERYONE in this course! SO many topics are covered! From underwater edits, backlighting, extending canvases, creating presets, and SO MUCH MORE!!! It is worth every penny and then some - you have 40 video resources to download, recall and look back on whenever you need to! This is a must-have for everyone's tool kit!

As an editing lover that I am, I knew that I couldn't miss this course. I have just watched a few videos of each one of these talented artists, and OH MY! I am mind blown! In the last few hours I have had more "aha moments" than in many of the courses I have taken. Having 4 different creative minds showing us their editing processes in a single spot is such an amazing opportunity. I am having a treat going through the videos and I am learning so many new tips and tricks that I cannot wait to use in my edits. This course is a must if you want to improve your editing skillsets.

One of my favorite things about photography is editing, so I knew I had to take this course. These four incredibly talented photographers share so much of their editing and show you step by step how they create their amazing art. There is something for everyone in this course. It is amazing to learn so many different techniques and I had so many "aha moments". With 40 videos that cover so many different topics, you will step away from this amazing course feeling not only inspired but confident in your editing. Even if you are confident in your editing, I suggest jumping into this. I bet you will find some great tips and tricks you never knew existed.

Like many photographers, I'm a self-taught editor who has developed a workflow that has become routine over the years.  While my process has become comfortable over time, I've come to realize how many useful features and techniques I've missed that could have elevated my work and saved valuable time.  "The Digital Darkroom: Transformative Editing for Photographers" was just what I needed to learn some new tricks, get caught up on some of the new updates in Lightroom and Photoshop, and improve my efficiency.

Through a vast collection of 40 videos, each of the four presenters demonstrates a wealth of editing tips that speak to beginners and seasoned editors alike.  From Leslie Crane's clean, classic edits to Ashley Mosier's edgy, modern portraits to Robin Fox's moody, cinematic images to Mickie DeVries technically masterful moments, there is so much to learn. While each instructor brings her own signature style, the skills covered in the videos can be easily customized to one's individual preferences.  I found myself constantly hitting the "rewind" button on the videos because I kept stumbling upon new techniques I wanted to add to my toolkit.  

As artists, we need to constantly challenge ourselves to improve upon our craft. Stagnancy can be the villain of inspiration.  The more we improve upon our technique, the better equipped we'll be to create images that seamlessly execute our vision.  For anyone who's looking to level up their work and perhaps even get excited about their photography again, "The Digital Darkroom" is a pretty fabulous place to start.

The digital darkroom is a wealth of knowledge and a steal for the price. The 40 editing videos cover so many different topics like color story, replacing skies, adding overlays, fixing skin tones, underwater, etc. There is so much variety in the edits that these 4 photographers have chosen. I know I will be referring back to these for a long time to come and integrating some of the techniques into my own editing process!

I almost didn't sign up because I know a lot about editing already and wasn't sure I'd get much out of this that I hadn't seen before. But these instructors blew me away. Even when they covered tools or techniques or I already knew, there would be little things they did differently than me, so I was constantly picking up new things or ideas. Thank you, thank you!

This course is absolutely incredible and packed with information. With four instructors who have different styles, you really get a full look at so many different editing tools. You can pick the tips and tricks that work for your own style from the in-depth look at each instructor's videos. As someone who doesn't particularly like editing (but is trying to improve in this area), I was surprised to find how much I enjoyed the course and all the videos included. One of the things that I love about many of the videos is they're not excessively long - they show you tips and tricks that feel really achievable and can make a huge impact. I feel like I can use the beautiful editing techniques highlighted in these videos, incorporating them in my normal workflow without drastically changing my editing times. Highly recommend this course for people who love editing (you'll find a wealth of information!) as well as those, like me, who might be more reticent editors and are looking for techniques to improve your own editing and style.

More than I was expecting. It's one thing to be comfortable with the tools in Photoshop and another to use them in interesting and creative ways. They really know what they are doing . Highly recommend

Oh my goodness. This class is absolutely amazing! I have admired all these photographers work for a long time and now I get to go behind the scene and see all their editing process. I have always wanted to get better at my editing and to see how these artists transformed their raw images into something so beautiful, I am inspired. And with all the videos included, I can follow step by step the workflow and apply the skills I learned to my images immediately. I love how many actionable tips there are in this course! Highly recommend this class!

This course is jam packed full of information! I consider myself pretty proficient with post processing but my goodness- did I learn so much! This has been one of my favorite courses to binge and I'm so grateful for all of these amazing instructors guidance and sharing the knowledge they have gained over the many years of combined experience. 12/10 recommend!
