If you keep trying to CREATE A PHOTOGRAPH LIKE THE ONES YOU'VE SEEN
IN MAGAZINES but so far you've only ended up frustrated and
disappointed by just average looking photographs, you must keep
reading....
DISCOVER HOW TO DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY AS SOON AS YOUR
VERY FIRST LESSON
FROM: Gene Rodman
DEAR FELLOW PHOTOGRAPHY ENTHUSIAST,
Using Photoshop correctly is one of the BEST SKILLS TO HAVE to create
beautiful images like the ones you see in magazines and calendars.
If you are like me you've spent a lot of time researching and
comparing camera equipment and all it's accessories trying to get the
best quality and value for your buck. You've also probably spent a
small fortune obtaining all your equipment with the thinking that NOW
you're going to be able to get those great photographs.
Do you know that most people believe it's a professional
photographer's camera equipment that is responsible for creating their
stunning photographs?
Well let me tell you now....
THAT IS TOTALLY WRONG !!!
Yep, I said it. It's the truth and any good photographer knows that
it is the truth. It's not something the camera companies want you to
know though!
The truth is a GOOD PHOTOGRAPHER can create wonderful images with an
AVERAGE CAMERA.
THE SECRET TO TRULY STUNNING IMAGES IS TO TAKE A GOOD IMAGE AND
PROCESS IT CORRECTLY IN PHOTOSHOP.
It doesn't matter if it's taken in film or digitally, _it still can
be made better in Photoshop_.
And I'm not talking about doing a lot of weird and crazy things to it
here.
I'm talking about taking your photograph and enhancing it _JUST
RIGHT_ until it looks exactly like you envisioned it should.
_(My philosophy is that I like to enhance a photograph to bring out
its best qualities but I personally don't like to totally change the
photograph to where you can't recognize it)_
IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS
So, here's another little secret I'll let you in on.....
PHOTOSHOP IS VERY COMPLICATED!!!
OK, so if you have ever tried to use Photoshop you know that that's
no secret.
Just Google Photoshop and you'll see tons of articles, videos and
tutorials on the subject. Anything and everything you'd ever want to
know is right there for you to learn and a lot of it is for FREE!
SO WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT TO LEARN FROM ME AND PAY ME FOR
SOMETHING YOU COULD LEARN FOR FREE?
WELL, FIRST LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY JOURNEY OF LEARNING PHOTOSHOP AND
YOU'LL SEE VERY CLEARLY WHY YOU SHOULD LEARN FROM ME AND NOT MAKE THE
SAME MISTAKES I DID.
I visited Yosemite when I was a teenager and took along my little
110mm camera (you'd have to be at least 40 to know what one of those
are). I really wanted to take photographs of Yosemite like the ones I
had seen on postcards.
I took lots of pictures and was so excited I couldn't wait to see my
masterpieces. But...when I had my film developed I was extremely
disappointed by what I saw.
MY PICTURES WEREN'T MASTERPIECES, THEY WERE ALL WASHED OUT, DULL,
DRAB, AND NOT VERY SHARP! I really wanted to be able to capture the
most beautiful place I'd ever been and share my experience with
everyone through my photography. I was so frustrated.
So began my 20 year journey through college (yes you read that right)
of learning how to become a better photographer. I'd still be going if
I hadn't moved to Montana. One photography class led to another, then
another. I was even helping the teachers teach I'd been there so long.
It wasn't until my guidance counselor suggested I get a degree in
photography that I even realized I had completed all my courses.
That was in the early 90s when film was still King and developing in
the dark room was our best option.
After moving to Montana, I remarried and found myself helping my wife
raise two children after having raised two of my own. My stepson,
Nick, was graduating from high school and we wanted to take a really
nice senior portrait of him.
I had just bought my first digital camera, a Fuji, and took him down
to our studio and photographed him. I opened his images up in
Photoshop 6, which is what we had at the time, and realized I had a
lot of work to do to retouch it. He had a lot of blemishes and the
colors were all wrong. His skin was really red and the black
background definitely wasn't black.
IT JUST LOOKED HORRIBLE!
So I sat there and stared at the screen for awhile wondering how I
was going to fix everything. I didn't even know where to start!
Well, I decided to try to fix the colors first since they were so
bad. So how do I do that? I didn't have a clue.
I had dial-up internet at the time so even if I found tutorials I
wouldn't have been able to watch them since it would've taken so long
to download them. Honestly I don't even know if the thought entered my
mind.
YOU HAD TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING IN THOSE DAYS, AND I WAS DETERMINED TO
LEARN ON MY OWN.
I had a photography degree, I should be able to figure it out.
I checked out the help section but that didn't enlighten me. I just
didn't know enough to know what to ask.
SO I DECIDED TO JUST RANDOMLY CLICK ON BUTTONS TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT TO DO. Aha, I found a color balance thingy - that should work. I
tried moving the sliders to fix the colors, but everytime I got close
to fixing the background, Nick's face would turn brighter red, or
worse green!. I got so frustrated I did what I normally do.
I TOLD MY WIFE SHE HAD TO FIGURE IT OUT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY I
COULD TAKE IT ANYMORE.
She worked at it a few hours and came to the same conclusion. It was
just too complicated.
We took the best digital image we could create, blemishes and all,
and figured it had to look better after it was printed at Walmart. It
didn't.
(Taking your masterpieces to a place like Walmart or someplace
similar is definitely on the DO NOT DO LIST, unless they are
snapshots. You'll learn why and what better options there are for you
in your lessons by the way.)
They looked so bad we couldn't send them out to our friends and
relatives. There was no way we wanted people to see them. We redid his
portraits outside so we wouldn't have to worry about the black
background and we did them far enough away so his skin wouldn't be as
noticeable.
AFTER THAT, WE DECIDED WE NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING.
We were professionals and people were going to depend on us to give
them great photographs.
We went to the bookstore and bought some books on how to work in
Photoshop. We each tackled a different book taping little pieces of
paper to the outside of chapters we knew we would have to find easily.
We would open a book and go through it page by page following along
with their lessons. When ever we discovered how to do something and it
CLICKED, we would get so excited and teach each other how to do it.
BUT...A WEEK OR SO LATER WE WOULD FORGET HOW TO DO THAT STEP AND WE
WOULD HAVE TO START LEARNING IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
WE QUICKLY REALIZED 2 THINGS ABOUT PHOTOSHOP.
1. PHOTOSHOP CAN BE AMAZING!!! I could do things in Photoshop so
quickly where it would have taken me hours in the darkroom. And it
gave me so many creative options, plus it let me change my mind
constantly so I could go back and forth between options. I thought I
was in heaven every time I learned something new.
2. PHOTSHOP CAN BE HELL. If we didn't do things EXACTLY the way
Photoshop wanted us to do them, we would get stuck for hours or days
trying to figure out what it wanted.
We would try to follow the lessons step by step, eventually we would
find that ONE TEENY, TINY LITTLE STEP OR PIECE OF INFORMATION WOULD
NOT BE IN THE LESSON and we would come to a screeching halt. We would
become so frustrated because we wouldn't know what to do and something
that should be so easy and quick to do would turn into frustratingly
long wasted hours.
WHAT WE FOUND OUT ABOUT LEARNING FROM BOOKS IS THAT WE WOULDN'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE THE LESSON WAS TAKING US UNTIL WE GOT TO THE END.
And a lot of times it's not where WE wanted to go so we were wasting
a lot of time learning how the author wanted us to learn. But still
not knowing how it applied to OUR situation.
We also went to seminars every chance we got and learned different
ways to do things from different photographers. But being from a small
town we didn't have a lot of opportunities to learn from other
photographs.
WE LOVED WHEN WE DISCOVERED HOW TO DO SOMETHING MORE EFFICIENTLY AND
EFFECTIVELY.
Saving time was really important to us because we didn't have a lot
of it. Going to seminars and SEEING how something was done was very
refreshing to us also. We tend to learn better when we can see it
being done and we do it ourselves also.
Our brains were happier.
We have found out which techniques worked best for our situations.
Slowly and steadily we learned through more and more books, magazine
articles, web sites, tutorials, and seminars. It all started coming
together and now that we have opened our own photography gallery and
studio we are learning how to apply everything we have learned to our
business.
AND HERE IN A NUTSHELL ARE 8 WAYS TO LEARN PHOTOSHOP THE HARD WAY
* Just RANDOMLY CLICK ON A BUTTON to see if you can magically
figure it out.
* Click on the HELP BUTTON to see if the Photoshop Fairies will
magically help you on your specific problem. Especially when you don't
know what the problem is.
* Go to a bookstore or online and hope you PICK A GOOD BOOK OUT OF
THE HUNDREDS available that can teach you on your level and that you
can understand easily.
* Open up your book and start to read contents. Realize you don't
know where to start so just start at the beginning. Get to the 27th
step on how to do something when you realize you don't have the same
options as what the book says you should. Start back at the first step
to see where you've gone wrong until you have the same problem where
you proceed to step number 1 again. Repeat over and over til you just
can't take it anymore and you want to smash you computer to
smithereens. Please don't do that. It's not yours or your computers
fault. YOU JUST WEREN'T TOLD WHAT PROBLEMS YOU MIGHT ENCOUNTER ALONG
THE WAY AND HOW TO FIX THEM IF YOU DO. It's usually something really
stupid that will take you hours to figure out only to have the same
problem happen the following week where you'll have some faint
recollection of having been through this before and how it all seems
so familiar but for the life of you you can't remember how you fixed
it. Repeat.
* PASTE LOTS OF LITTLE STICKLY NOTES ON YOUR COMPUTER and walls and
desk so you'll remember how to do everything. Just make sure you don't
lose any or do them in the wrong order.
* SURF THE WEB FOR TUTORIALS ON HOW TO DO 1 THING IN PHOTOSHOP. Go
through millions of pages to find what you want without being
distracted. Open, wait for it to download, watch and listen to how you
can change a color photograph to black and white in only 120 steps!
Get frustrated half way through, find another tutorial and repeat. Get
distracted and forget what you were looking for in the first place.
* GIVE UP and just let Photshop sit idly on your computer untouched
for eternity vowing you will someday learn it.
* Ask 5 friends how they do something and GET 5 DIFFERENT ANSWERS
each one telling you the way they do it is the best and only way.
AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF RESEARCH AND LEARNING - THESE ARE SOME OF THE
BENEFITS WE FOUND OF USING PHOTOSHOP TO ENHANCE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS
Since a lot of my images were on slides and negatives I first scanned
them to make them digital images. Then after processing them in
Photoshop and printing them on my own printer I compared them to the
color and black and white prints I had created in college. I thought
my original prints were very good back in my college days, but after
comparing them, the digital prints were much better.
THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE BENEFITS I SAW TO USING PHOTOSHOP ON MY
LANDSCAPE IMAGES:
* They were sharper when I wanted them to be or softer when I wanted
them to be. It didn't matter if I had used a filter or not. Some parts
of the image, like the edge of a flower petal could be sharpened while
leaving everything else out of focus.
* They had more contrast when I wanted them to or less when I wanted
them to.
* The colors were more saturated or I could make them less saturated
and give them a more old fashioned feel.
* Each image could be adjusted precisely in certain areas to bring
out it's best qualities.
* The exposures could be precisely adjusted to make my whites more
white and my blacks actually look black with a whole range of tones in
between.
* I could adjust all the colors or just a few select ones to make
them more true to life.
* I WAS IN TOTAL CONTROL AND COULD CHANGE MY MIND ANY TIME I WANTED.
I LOVED THAT!
* My black and whites could now look more sepia (brown toned) or
more blue, whatever I felt like doing at the moment.
* I could print one image at a time and if I ever want to change
anything about it I could.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER :-)
I SPECIALIZE IN MATERNITY AND BABY PORTRAITS AT OUR STUDIO SO BEING
ABLE TO CONSISTENTLY CREATE BEAUTFUL, EMOTIONAL PORTRAITS IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
THE BENEFITS I SAW TO MY PORTRAITS WERE EQUALLY AMAZING!
* The babies skin looks soft and pink
* Their eyes have such a dimension to them. They are sharp and clear
and sparkle, you just can't help but be drawn into them.
* I can retouch skin without it looking plastic or fake. Everyone
can look healthy and relaxed but still look like themselves.
* I can make their teeth a little whiter without overdoing it.
* I can create soft, romantic images of mothers cuddling with their
babies or make them sharp and colorful and full of energy.
* I can now create beautiful senior portraits that look like they
belong on a magazine cover! And I'm so proud to show off!!!
BUT....
The biggest benefit I found was that I could save the image while I
was working on it and come back to it another time to finish it. I
didn't have to spend my whole day in the darkroom having to finish a
print so the chemicals wouldn't go bad.
And that's just the benefits of film.
Digital images captured on a digital camera are equally impressive.
By the way, in case you were wondering, here's some things you might
not know...
YOUR CAMERA CAN NOT CREATE THE SAME QUALITY IMAGES YOU WANT THAT
PHOTOSHOP CAN.
YOUR CAMERA CAN NOT CREATE BLACK AND WHITE IMAGES AS GOOD AS
PHOTOSHOP CAN.
YOUR CAMERA CAN NOT SHARPEN AN IMAGE AS GOOD AS PHOTOSHOP CAN.
Why not get the full benefits of your camera equipment that you've
spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on? Having a good quality
camera is just the beginning. ..using Photoshop to enhance your
photographs is what you need to actually see results.
SO THIS LEADS ME TO SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU:
Do you believe learning how to use Photoshop correctly will help
improve your photography?
Do you want to improve your photography?
Then when would be the best time to learn how to improve your
photography?
THERE IS AN EASIER WAY
FOR YOU TO LEARN PHOTOSHOP
But, like I said before, if you prefer to learn on your own like I
did, there is plenty of information out there for you (and it's for
FREE). If you don't mind sifting through it all to find what you want
and if you already know which steps to do and in what order.
***WARNING***
Also be VERY CAREFUL YOU DON'T DAMAGE YOUR IMAGE if you are working
on JPEG images! As you will learn in my Mentor Series if you do not
know how to use Photoshop (or any digital imaging software out there)
correctly you can damage your image beyond repair. Please, if you are
learning on your own make sure that is the first lesson you learn.
HOWEVER....
IF YOU PREFER TO HAVE SOMEONE (WHO'S BEEN WHERE YOU ARE NOW) MENTOR
YOU STEP-BY STEP, WITHOUT LEAVING ANYTHING OUT, FROM THE BEGINNING TO
THE END IN EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND LESSONS, WHERE YOU WILL :
* thoroughly learn each lesson before moving on to the next,
* easily know where to find information if you forget how to do
something,
* watch the videos to see me do the lessons on my screen, while
you're working on your own image on your screen so there will never be
any miscommunication,
* know that if you do all the lessons from start to finish that
you'll end up with a photograph that you'll be proud of.
THEN THIS SERIES OF LESSONS IS FOR YOU
OK, so now that you have convinced yourself that learning Photoshop
is the best way for you to create the photographs you want here's how
we'll do it.....
* YOU'LL RECEIVE AN E-MAIL FROM ME EACH WEEK WITH YOUR WRITTEN
LESSON AND A VIDEO SHOWING YOU HOW TO DO IT AND AN ASSIGNMENT.
* You will read through the lesson if that's how you prefer to learn
while you are working on Photoshop, and/or watch the video of me doing
the lesson with you. You will be able to make the video small enough
to view so that you can work on your project at the same time.
* I'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THOROUGHLY SO YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT WE
ARE GOING TO BE WORKING ON AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT. ALSO I WILL ALERT
YOU TO ANY PROBLEMS YOU MIGHT ENCOUNTER ALONG THE WAY AND HOW TO FIX
THEM.
* Each lesson I'll explain the lesson and show you how to do them
correctly. Then at the conclusion of each lesson I will give you your
weekly photography assignment so you'll have a good photograph to work
on the following week.
* EACH LESSON I WILL BE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT THE BIG PICTURE.
PHOTOSHOP CAN GET SO DETAILED YOU MIGHT FORGET WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH. I WILL BE REMINDING YOU WHAT YOUR GOALS SHOULD BE FOR EACH
LESSON TO KEEP YOU FROM GETTING DISTRACTED.
* I will also have you keep a copy of your original image before it
was processed so you will have a reminder of how far you've come in
such a short period of time. I will show you some examples of my
"before" photographs, what mine look like after a particular lesson,
and how it will look at the conclusion of the 3 months of lessons so
you can see where you're headed.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE!
PLUS IT'S A LOT OF FUN SEEING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS TRANSFORMED RIGHT
BEFORE YOUR EYES
YOU'LL JUST BE AMAZED AT HOW GOOD YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS WILL LOOK.
HERE'S SOME BENEFITS OF JOINING MY
PHOTOSHOP CS4 MENTOR SERIES:
* You'll learn not only how to do things, you'll learn in WHAT ORDER
you should do them.
* You'll get to LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE-Even though lessons are sent
once a week you can take as long or go as fast as you want. You won't
feel frustrated or overwhelmed with too much information at once.
* You will learn all the steps to enhance a photograph whether it's
a landscape, portrait, architectural, or anything else. ALL MY LESSONS
WILL WORK ON ALL YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS.
* YOU WON'T FEEL GUILTY FOR SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON YOUR CAMERA
EQUIPMENT AND NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.
* You will GAIN CONFIDENCE AS A PHOTOGRAPHER because you'll be
taught by a professional who makes money selling his photographs and
portraits.
{_Now you must realize there are a lot of ways to do the same thing
in Photoshop. I'll show you my way that I process my own photographs
to sell in my gallery. Some techniques will give you great results
where others will actually damage your photographs. I will let you
know what not to do so you don't accidentally damage your images_.}

Instead of simply publishing this information in a book like everyone
else does, I'm making it available to you week after week in
ACTION-SIZED portions so YOU'LL ACTUALLY SEE RESULTS.
You won't be overwhelmed by too much information at once that'll
clutter up your brain. What you need is a weekly _"here's how you do
it next"_ action step to complete. What you need is for someone to
show you how to QUICKLY GET STARTED and then keep teaching you week
after week so you don't get stalled along the way.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M GOING TO DO
WHEN YOU JOIN MY
PHOTOSHOP CS4 MENTOR SERIES PROGRAM
(JUST THINK! IN JUST 3 SHORT MONTHS YOU'LL HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU
ACTUALLY WILL BE PROUD TO DISPLAY ON YOUR WALLS!)
As a member you'll receive~
ONE WEEKLY LESSON FOR 12 WEEKS IN DOWNLOADABLE .PDF FORMAT AND
VIDEOS. (IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT .PDF IS I'LL HELP YOU TO SET UP THE
FREE SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER BELOW).
You'll learn how to do one or two particular things in Photoshop
that'll MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS each and every
week.
Each lesson is strategically created in such a way that you'll see
CONTINUAL PROGRESS in your photography.
Each lesson is based on how I actually do my own work that I sell to
the public in my gallery so you know these techniques are used in REAL
LIFE and gallery worthy (not just theory).
1 SHORT AND EASY TO DIGEST
Each lesson goes through the steps in the most efficient ways
possible. Why do something in 20 steps when you can get the same or
better results in 5. I am thorough, so you will understand each
topic-what you are doing and why you are doing it.
2 INCLUDES AN ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU TO COMPLETE
At the end of each lesson I will give you an assignment on a certain
type of photograph you will need to take that week in order to have it
ready for the next lesson. This will keep you motivated and inspired
and will help you become a better photographer.
3 LESSONS BUILD AS YOU GO
Every lesson builds on the others. Early on I will show you some
basics to get you going quickly. Then I will go more and more into
detail so you will fully understand each topic and be able to apply it
to all your photography. You will start to see results with your first
lesson, then every week from then on you will continue to see results.
No matter how much of a beginner you are you will never be lost along
the way.
4 FORCES YOU TO SUCCEED LONG TERM
Figuring it out on your own by reading books or buying tutorials can
leave you feeling overwhelmed from all the information and having to
fend for yourself. But that isn't how you'll learn in this program. By
giving you information in bite-sized portions for 12 weeks you'll be
more likely to actually do something with the content....and you'll be
more likely to see real results consistently for yourself.
5 HELPS YOU MAKE REAL PROGRESS
When you look back at your original photographs (which I'll have you
keep for your records) you'll actually be able to see improvement by
putting these lessons into practice.
Each weekly lesson is designed to be "TO THE POINT" and ready to put
into action.
The first lesson is coming your way immediately upon completing your
order.
INCLUDED IN YOUR FIRST LESSON...
LESSON #1
* How to correct your exposures by using the levels and curves
tools. These tools will help you correct your photograph right away so
you can see results instantly.
* How to make your colors POP.
* You'll learn how to read histograms so you can get perfect
exposures on every photograph.
* How to tell if you can save that photograph if the exposure wasn't
perfect.
You'll get this information instantly after you join below.
Everything you need to get started is included in written form and in
videos.
The format is simple...
* Lesson 1 will explain how to QUICKLY improve your photographs.
* Then we'll tackle a different aspect of Photoshop in each
following lesson to continually improve your photographs with some
"SECRET TIPS" on how to improve your photography also.
* Also, we'll look at how to FIX PROBLEM PHOTOGRAPHS.
* Then, we'll close the end of the series with a lesson that'll
totally blow you away! By following this last lesson you'll be able to
produce a work of art that'll really impress you, your friends, and
your family. I can't wait for you to find out what it is... (BUT FOR
RIGHT NOW IT'S A SECRET, SO NO PEEKING.)
Want to know the best part? Check this out....
NO MORE PAYING HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO LEARN THIS
INFORMATION....EVEN IF IT'S IN "4 EASY PAYMENTS"!
I've been a professional photographer since 1992 and I have been
learning and studying Photoshop since 2002. That's ages in internet
years. And I know how important this information is to you. I
considered charging my regular fees for this program, which means I
would sell it for over $1000.00.
And, in doing so, I'd make a ton of money. But, I realize MANY
TALENTED ASPIRING PHOTOGRAPHERS LIKE YOURSELF, might not be able to
take advantage of this offer simply because IT WOULDN'T BE IN THEIR
BUDGET. Also I feel it is my mission to help promote photography and
inspire other photographers to achieve their dreams.
_Listen, I know what it's like to be totally frustrated. _
_I know what it's __like to be __disappointed. _
_I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed. _
_I've been there and I know. _
_Trust me, I know._
It is for those reasons that I am NOT going to charge a thousand
dollars that I could charge for this program. Instead, I'm going to
make it a "NO-BRAINER", and I'm going to make it DOWNRIGHT AFFORDABLE
for EVERY budget.
The price for a subscription to the Photoshop CS4 Mentor Series
Program is just a measely $27 per month. While the series is only 3
months long you can CANCEL ANYTIME YOU LIKE. If you're not seeing the
results you were hoping for, then it won't cost you a penny.
"GENE, THAT'S A BARGAIN...SERIOUSLY...WHAT'S THE CATCH?"
We both know that $27 is a drop in the bucket. Especially compared to
the amounts you've already paid for your equipment. So, in keeping
your guard up with a "suspicious mind" you'd have to ask the question,
right? Well, truthfully, there is a catch...
ONLY 1000 MEMBERS WILL BE ACCEPTED INTO PHOTOSHOP CS4 MENTOR SERIES.
TOTAL!
AND...
I WILL ALSO BE RAISING THE PRICE
(PROBABLY DOUBLING IT)
ON JULY 1, 2010
I have placed a cap on this program at 1000 MEMBERS. Once these
initial memberships have been sold (and this will not take long) I
will close the doors and no more memberships for this program will
ever be available again.
You need to understand something about this-
I'm not just pretending to raise my prices or pretending to remove
this program. It will happen. Anyone who comes back to this site after
July 1 , 2010 will see the $27 price gone and replaced with at least
$47 maybe more unless all the memberships are taken before then, in
which case this program will no longer be available for any price.
After the 1000th person signs up this program will be taken down
permanently.
Don't kick yourself for not taking action immediately!
If you want to join, the time to do it is right now before the big
SOLD OUT sign goes up in the box below.
YOUR MONEY WILL BE RETURNED BY CLICKBANK AT THE CLICK OF A MOUSE
BUTTON IF YOU'RE UNHAPPY FOR ANY REASON.
LISTEN, HERE'S THE DEAL: I sell these memberships through Clickbank,
which means I have to go by their rules. Their rules state that I have
to offer you an _8 WEEK, MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE_. Which is totally fine
with me, I'd be offering it to you whether they required me to or not.
I'm totally confident in my materials and my ability to teach you and
I know you'll be completely thrilled with the content and especially
the results.
But, I also understand that you need peace of mind, and I don't want
you to worry that you're making a bad decision, so if for any reason
you are not happy with my Photoshop CS4 Mentor Series Program within
the first 8 weeks then you can e-mail me or Clickbank and request a
refund.

I mentioned this earlier, but I just want to stress it one last time
because I think it's one of the most important benefits to you by
using the_ "PHOTOSHOP CS4 MENTOR SERIES"_ program.
Spending a lot of money on your camera equipment only gets you so
far. I know you want to be able to produce the best photographs you
can. Don't live with the frustration any more of having good equipment
but still not being able to produce great photographs.
IMAGINE THIS FOR JUST A MOMENT -
You see a spectacular sight in front of you and you are so excited
because you have your camera ready! You're so careful to make sure you
capture the beauty in front of you. You rush home and upload your
image on your computer. Looking at it you realize it's nowhere near
the actual experience but since you know how to use Photoshop, you
have the confidence to start working on it. You know the routine
because you have practiced it so many times and have gotten consistent
results in the past. As you perform the final touches on it you're
beaming because you finally get it! Then you start to wonder... who am
I going to share this with? Where's the best place to show this off?
How large do I want to print this?
If that doesn't excite you, it's probably time to start gathering
your equipment and posting stuff on an online auction ... because this
ain't for you.
But, if this does sound exactly like what you're looking for, let's
get started
