Description
I’m sure you’ve experienced the frustration of editing an image, but not being able to make it match your imagination. You can see the finished photo clearly in your mind’s eye, but your editing skills just let you down. I too had this problem before I learned how to the use the Nik Collection editing tools and Viveza in particular.
A few years back, the Nik Collection of editing tools cost hundreds of dollars and was the default choice for many professional photographers. Why? Because these tools allow you to produce exceptional image results in minutes. Then Google bought Nik Software and in March 2016 the tools were released for free. Now any photographer can download the complete collection and use them without paying anything.
But despite these great tools being freely available, many people still don’t use them. A few may experiment with test images, but ultimately, they don’t master the tools. They don’t have access to the necessary experience explaining how to achieve the best results.
This course provides you with that experience. It’s designed to take the beginner and intermediate user through to the advanced level. You will quickly master all the elements of the interface allowing you to work efficiently with photographs. We will cover all the adjustment tools as well as how to use the powerful Control Point technology, to target adjustments on precise areas of your photography. Everything you need to know to transform your photography will be fully explained and demonstrated. The course concludes with four full worked examples for which the starting image files are provided. You can also download the finished images to compare these with your own work.
If you want to quickly achieve professional results with your photography, this course will help take you there.
Who this course is for:
- This course is intended for photographers who want to quickly achieve professional standard image enhancement using the Nik Viveza package.
- The course has been developed specifically with the beginner and intermediate level users in mind.
- People that have found photo editing tools difficult to understand will find this course particularly helpful.
