Photoshop for Photographers!

Hello, my name is John Watts, and I am, at my core, a custom photographic printer. I was first dragged kicking and screaming into the digital age: Now, I embrace it with a passion.

I have been privileged over the last 25 years to work in partnership with some of the world’s finest photographers. I also have a knack for making superior color prints for these photographers, as well as many serious amateurs. I've now taken that expertise and applied it to the world of digital imaging education.

It's safe to say that I've learned a few things over the years...

I don't plan to show you how to put children's heads on animals, or make flashing and rotating text, or how to create a surreal, mind-blowing digital masterpiece that defies logic.

What I can show you is how to make a good color print using the basics of Photoshop to achieve your desired printed results.

So, the question is: Why should you listen to me? The same reason that you listen to your doctor: training and experience. Like your doctor, I've learned what generally works and what doesn't. Also, like your doctor, I'm constantly learning new things, and listening to new ideas (a doctor "practices" medicine, after all!)

It is safe to say that the tools I used 25+ years ago are NOT the same tools I use now. As I am using newer and more innovative tools and methods to achieve the desired printed result, I’m not only willing to share what I know, but willing to learn from you, also.

It’s an axiom that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks - It’s also a lie! I’m constantly learning new things everyday!

Let’s share these “tricks” together…

John Watts :-)
