Class Introduction
print of the photograph is really, really important to me personally, because I'm a person believes the photograph is the artifact, the actual creation of the object. But in addition to that, in all my years of teaching, if people came to me and said, What's the one thing I could do to become a better photographer? Outside of buying really expansive, expensive camera here, it would be the print. The print is the absolute fastest way to become a better photographer. There's a number of reasons for that. One is you actually get to physically hold the object, and what that does is that has a permanence to it. It has, ah, way of becoming something else than looking at something on the screen, because in the screen it's forever changeable. And the way our brains work we look at the screen, is we. We fixate on certain things, so we're fixing color if we're fixing objects of her cloning things out. Whatever we're doing, we tend to miss other elements. So when we get the print, all the sudden ...
were like, uh were that big white truck come from you go back and you look at your screen you're like, I don't see it. They were like, Oh, the big white truck Or when you print bigger, we'll look at some bigger prints. What looks like dust spots on your sensors Sometimes turns out that might be a bird. You're cloning out all the birds, so there's a bunch of reasons to actually think about the print. There's also a number of business things about how we see color, how we associate with color and things like that to become important. That all being said most of the time, when I work with people, they go to print and the print never looks right. And so they assume that it's not worth printing and they stop because they get frustrated. I'm not gonna do it or they have the classic. My print never looks like my screen, and somehow we've decided this print should look exactly like it should on the screen. And so we stopped printing for that reason. So getting past all of that, I think, is really important because, like I said, the benefit of the payout of actually getting to the print is significant. So what we're gonna do today is we're gonna talk about a number of different aspects of the print. And then we're actually gonna look at ways we approach printing and photo shop and in light room, both We're going talk about some of the pros and the cons of why you would pick one over the other. And then we're gonna talk in the end about how we actually go about storing archive. And our prints were how we sign our prints and things like that. And I've brought some sample prints we can look at from different sizes and different, different choices.

Great course! Daniel's ability to walk you through all aspects of properly printing is very helpful. His passion for the 'art' of printing is evident throughout this video. I am really excited and certainly more confident in my ability to enjoy printing as well. I hope that he develops further courses on printing. Cheers, Keith

This course is just an hour and a half. I wish it was a ten hour course because how amazing the content and instruction is. Thank you Daniel, it was informative, interesting, fun, and full of valuable information.

I devoured this course like a good Netflix binge on a cold, frosty winter night. The instructor, Daniel Gregory, is extremely knowledgeable and most importantly he's a great teacher. Working as a Creative designer for 30+ years, I found this course helpful to me because I recently purchased a digital printer. that was driving me insane with random unexpected color shifts. Although this course was created in 2017, I would recommend this to anyone troubleshooting a modern color printer, such as the new Canon PIXMA PRO-200, that becomes available in 2020 and later.
