Course FAQs

Is there a written version of this course or PDF?  

Yes. The video is paired with a PDF that lists the processing steps and rationale used so that you can easily find the material you need. This can also be used as a handy reference to find key sections of the video later. In addition, there is a quiz and other supporting material.  

Does this course use Lumenzia?

No, the emphasis is on the RAW editing tools from Adobe. However, we will discuss when it is best to stay in RAW vs use luminosity masks.

Can I download the videos?

You can use the iOS / Android apps to view the videos offline (this does not include the final bonus HDR content due to limitations of HDR video). You can also stream the content on any browser or device. This course is presented through a professional learning management system, which provides for an excellent experience by offering much more than just video files. You will have written guides to accompany the videos with time codes to easily review each step of the tutorials, access to all the digital files edited in the course, comments to ask Greg questions or interact with other students in the course, and a well designed interface to help organize and navigate all the content. The nature of this platform also enables content to be improved or added over time. This has proven to be extremely popular with my Master Courses.
