“Your teaching is absolutely thrilling Rick and I am so grateful for new ideas and recommendations from you!“
Michael Gerson
Over the years I’ve taken numerous photography and post-processing workshops, webinars and courses. It wasn’t until I began working with Rick Burress that I experienced a deep and critical understanding of the intricacies of Photoshop, Lightroom and Camera Raw. In a crowded field, Rick stands out. through courses, webinars, and private sessions, Rick explains the most complex material in ways that helped me relate to the material personally, and use it effectively. Rick’s engaging teaching style—warm, encouraging, humorous, and patient, made me want to continually learn and apply my learning even more. Take a course, seminar, webinar with Rick—you’ll find that it not only a great learning experience—it will be a lasting pleasure and a lot of fun!

Why do we keep enrolling? I have noted from the videos that we are all past the first flush of youth, and I presume can all recognise a superlative teacher when we encounter one. We have all battled since our midlife with this thing called post processing. Your breezy style and clear explanation with attractive visuals keeps us glued to our computer seats. We know that much hidden prep goes into these webinars from which we gain so much. I thank you and consider my $US well spent. Do keep making the webinars so long as your time and sanity allow. I wish I could log on and join the group, but 2am finds me asleep—I watch the recordings, of course!
Warm wishes from Brisbane,
Anne

Thank you for this class!
It has been eye-openingly, jaw-droppingly COOL!
And my friends who have a commercial graphics degree like me, but have been actually using it as a job for the last 25 years don’t know any of it!
One of them has worked for [Company Name Redacted] here in town as a retoucher for 20 years, goes to photoshop world every year, and has never used a channel!
How has this thousand-times-easier way to cut stuff out of the background not been taught?
So again thank you so much for teaching me new skills I can use and pass on!
