Your vision and craft is strong enough that a few bucks to sit at your feet is more than worth it. When you get things rolling drop me a line and I’ll push my readers to it – you’re stuff if great and they’d be thrilled to get their hands on it.

I love your photos, so I would definitely be up for purchasing your tutorial.
Go for it.

Waiting in anticipation, Sid

Always very impressed by your photos, which are among the best I have seen of India, a country I love and have viited many times…

I too would like you to look up Lightroom some more ;-) But a tutorial on your workflow in C1 and PS, with some case studies, would be fine as well.

Thanks! I always visit your blog with interest.

I will say $10 is very less for a detailed tutorial. There are ‘processor specific’ e-books from the heavyweights for tools like ACR, LR, C1 and so on. I will also take time to think if the whole exercise is worth it.

What I might suggest instead is – ‘mitschell way of processing’ tutorials and asking for 5-10$…may be a tutorial which is 3-5 page long. what say?

I love most of your stuff. But you may also consider giving it away for free. If it’s good I’m sure it will pay off later on in one form or another.

Cheers, Stefan.

Tried localized lightening/darkening in LR2 but the tools are not very ‘maneuverable’.

So, I’m looking forward to a tutorial explain WHY we need to make the adjustments you do, and await to be convinced =]

Thanks, Mitchell!

It should be fairly simple, but the intention is not to make THE post-processing tutorial that will cover every software package or technique ever invented for every level of photographers.

It would be A tutorial on PP, the way I do it, the way I approach it and an explanation on why I do things the way I do. Overall it’s about the bigger picture.

Colour is part of the visual language that is photography, but few people seem to realise that and so they go applying effects and various tones to images without ever asking; Why? or – What will my image say if I add this effect?

People probably think that something looks cool and for them that’s enough of a reason. If an effect is applied well it can indeed look “cool”, but there are no guarantees that it’ll not be cheese tomorrow.

I don’t particularly care if most people produce rubbish images with cheesy effects, they make serious work stand out more. However, the last thing I want to do is contribute to that virtual pile of trash (at least not knowingly:)). If I make a document that is meant to teach people, I feel it’s fair to also provide some background info, so that the effects are applied with at least some understanding.

David: At this stage there are no set dates. I think the ideal thing would be to have only one or two private workshops or workshops for a couple of people max. I would probably never be do the same route more than once (as far as villages are concerned). So, the whole thing would be very “tailor-made” including the dates of the workshop. The duration will be 17 days with a possibility of extending it slightly, but no more than 21 days.

And how many days are you planning on doing it? Thanks for your replies on 1x…

Keep up the excellent work!!

I also wouldn’t hesitate to buy a tutorial from you if you’d explain your techniques, as this is what I am longing to find out about. But I do not agree that you should make a Photoshop book out of it or write an in depth how to Photoshop tutorial for beginners. There are enough books out there that explain Photoshop for beginners and people who want to learn about the basics. Yours would be just one in many.
If I understood you right, that wasn’t your intention anyway. What I would be happy about would be if you showed us your post-processing techniques and why you apply them. Lightroom 2 might be a good idea for some people, but I would prefer you show us your techniques rather than giving us an explanation how programs you don’t use that much work (although there is nothing against mentioning where you can use Lightroom). I am truly glad you are thinking about doing the tutorial, as I am planning to move to Asia at the end of this year and will travel in Burma and other countries quite extensively. I want to be prepared for this as best I can.
Cheers,
Jan
