FREE Webinar - Color-balancing in Camera Raw made easy!

Coming up one week from today (January 20th), the folks at X-Rite are presenting a FREE webinar on color-management using the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport. You can tune in at either of 2 different times to learn about things like:

• Creating and Using Camera Profiles
• Custom White Balance with the Passport
• Once click accurate color edits
• Matching color response of two or more cameras
• Matching color response under different lighting conditions
• Color editing in Adobe® Lightroom®
• Color editing in Adobe® Photoshop®

Do YOU need to tune in and watch this webinar? That depends. If you're not passionate about proper color in your final images, you can probably skip it. If you don't ever need skin tones to look natural, don't bother. If you have never had difficulty getting beautiful, vibrant colors from your files, then you may not care about watching.

However, if you're like most photographers, you are always searching for a better, more efficient way to manage color and get the best images possible. For you, this will be an excellent investment of your time. Best of all, it's free.

You can register for this event here:

I personally use one of these great tools and love the way it has taken the guesswork out of color-balancing.

If you've ever seen the work of Jerry Ghionis, you already know of his incredible imagery. If you've ever had the opportunity to spend time with him, you know how inspirational he is.

Last year, Jerry Ghionis was the keynote speaker at the Northern Light Regional Convention. Being a member of the NL Board and closely involved with this event, I had the opportunity to chat with him after his program . . . this man has more creative thought in 30 seconds than I will have all next week.
