In a way it's sad and a bit painful to watch he's unable to simply say "This is my process." he has to always put down the other ways of processing to justify his method! Also, as time has rolled along digital cameras have improved so much and digital processing has improved so much (LR & C1) that much of what he advocates is just overkill and out dated in my opinion.Īlso based on my experience his whole operation seems a bit disorganized in terms of getting his webcasts up and running on time, and accessing tutorials on his website etc. His tutorials are rambling, labored and bloated with his sneering and disgust at Adobe (and others) for how bad they are, how poor the processing or sharpening is, etc. The down side to his whole approach is that he insists on mocking and deriding everything he dislikes. I found his sharpening was better than I could get in LR when sharpening very high res images from a camera I had used hi-rez (sensor shift) to create the image. His sharpening workflow is very good, but again if you understand the controls in LR I think you can achieve as good results in most cases. (He does have a good ability to extract detail in shadows, and seems to have a focus on wedding photographers struggling in bad / harsh light to control contrast). The results are very good he does know what he's doing BUT with a decent understanding of LR or C1 I think you can achieve the same results. Your copy look better but to be expected remember what guy said its just a set of actions to give you a good repeatable quality. You then run his action in PS to "process" the file.
Essentially he uses Camera Raw or now C1 I think, to process a raw file with pretty much no adjustments made to it. You get access to his processing tools which are elaborate actions he has created from his huge knowledge of PS and pre press workflow. I subscribed to his workflows for a year. (Late to this topic I know but here goes.)
