THE FUN AND EASY GUIDE TO EDITING IN APPLE PHOTOS

If you are struggling to create photos that excite you and others, then I’ve got you!

I know how it goes. I see you over there trying the latest app someone recommended and just getting more and more confused.

You apply different filters that were someone’s idea of “cool” and it just looks like a picture from a cheap camera. Not the beautiful garden that inspired you to take the shot. Or the graduation pictures of your favorite niece. The sun looks too bright and there are distractions in the background. You think it ought to be easy to fix, but . . .

Well, it is.

Regardless of your experience, editing your pictures in Apple Photos - on either the iPhone or the Mac - is easy and fun. Apple Photos has a complete set of adjustments that rival other apps costing much more, and it comes free with every Apple device.

Best of all, the Apple system won’t let you make any edits that can’t be undone. You can change whatever you want - color, contrast, cropping, sharpness, brightness, and more - and always undo it all to get back to your original photo.

With Apple Photos you have a foolproof digital photo darkroom right at your fingertips. Literally.

I created this course just for you!!

In less time than an episode of Bridgerton you'll learn to:

• Crop your photos to improve composition

• Apply individual color adjustments

• Use built in color and black & white filters

• Enhance detail

• Apply standard print and image formats like 5x7 & 8x10

- Applying filters for effect

- Differences and similarities between editing on iPhone/iPad and Mac

CROPPING

Framing the image to eliminate distractions or for creative effect is called cropping. Cropping a photo can change the entire story and feeling of an image. We also need to crop to fit the many different ways we share an image. Instagram prefers square images, for instance.

FILTERS

There are so many ways to change the look of a photo that many people like to use filters. Filters are a preset combination of adjustments that create a specific effect. Whether to add a specific color effect or simulate film, filters speed up editing and let us create a consistent creative look.

ADJUSTMENTS

Photos are captured light, and adjustments let us change that light in many ways. We can create more brilliant colors, deep shadows, and adjust skin tones, for example. Brightening up a picture or making richer colors in a sunset can create more memorable images.

“Paul’s course is a godsend. I can recommend it to anyone looking to get a handle on their Photo collection so that they can actually enjoy it!”

What? Still on the fence?

Waiting for a sign?

For less than the time and money you spent on that last lunch date, you can learn how to make your photos just as tasty and memorable.

And Fun.

Well, depending on who you lunched with.

The thing is, photos have become the medium of choice for sharing, explaining, and for every day communicating with family, friends, and work. Our photo collections have become our diaries, our story, our personal brands. Creating stand out pictures is as important a skill as crafting an effective sentence. Except that one picture is worth . . . you know?

I think you're going to love this course. I really do. So just to back that up, I'm offering a 30-day guarantee. If you don't love it too, you can let me know and I'll refund your money. Simple as that.

My feeling is that when you spend hundreds of dollars on an iPhone and thousands more on a Mac, you deserve to know how to use one of the most important features they offer. My mission is to make that as easy (and fun) as I can.

FAQs

WHAT IS THE FUN AND EASY GUIDE TO EDITING IN APPLE PHOTOS? HOW DO I VIEW IT?

The guide is a recorded live online training event. The course is just under 1 hour of video that covers all the basics of photo editing on iPhone and Mac. You can watch it at your own pace whenever it's convenient.

CAN ANYONE DO THIS? I BARELY FIND THE PICTURES I WANT.

Yes. Absolutely. The beauty is that you can play with your photo adjustments and if you ever want to reset them to the original version, it's just one click away. Life should be this foolproof. And you'll gain confidence using Apple Photos by just spending a little time with it.

I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD EDIT PICTURES IN APPLE PHOTOS. IS THIS NEW?

Color edits and cropping have always been part of Apple Photos and in iPhoto before it. But with every new iOS and macOS release, the features get better and better. The current versions of Apple Photos offer adjustments that we used to have to go to a professional app like Photoshop to do. But like everything Apple, the process is much easier to understand and use.

CAN I RETOUCH OUT OBJECTS IN APPLE PHOTOS?

Apple Photos on the Mac has a great retouching tool. On the iPhone we have to use a 3rd party app at this time.

DO I REALLY NEED TO EDIT MY PHOTOS? I'M PRETTY HAPPY WITH THE ONES I TAKE NOW.

It's true that iPhones and digital cameras have improved to the point that our photos are so much better than before. But editing can take any picture to the next level - from cluttered to clear or from good to great. We can't always pick the best angle to avoid distracting objects (or people) and there are situations that confuse the camera and it gets the wrong exposure. Edits are often small changes that make a big difference and it's worth knowing what adjustments are available to you. Even if you rarely parallel park, it's worth knowing how to do it.

HOW IS THIS COURSE DIFFERENT THAN OTHER PHOTO COURSES?

I've worked with thousands of people on their digital photography and have watched dozens of courses both live and online. Working with so many people face-to-face gives me an honest, unfiltered perspective of how to help non-techie folks become empowered and the methods that work best. I've also come to appreciate how our photos bookmark the story of our lives and I want to give everyone the skills to create photos that they will cherish for a lifetime.
