Corel Painter for Photographers


This workshop is for Portrait and Wedding Photographers who want to transform their images into works of art. Jim is a full time Photographer who feel that Painter has given us the ability to take our photographic images to the next level.

Each of us have images that can become beautiful works of art with the right enhancement. Jim will show you the techniques that will make your images stand out in the crowd. Each student is encouraged to bring at least 5 of their own images to work on in class.

There is a frustrated artist inside all of us and Painter gives us the ability to release that creative side that has been trapped for so many years. Jim will take you step by step through the creative process, from getting familiar with the Painter desktop to creating knockout images, to the marketing process. You will be amazed at how quickly you will be creating images that your customers will want hanging on their walls.

Join Jim and unleash your inner artist. Learn to work outside the box with someone who spends hours a day creating with Painter.
