Raw Development, Image Editing and Asset Management

11 total hours of self-paced study

This in-depth online course is designed to help photographers in creating professional, impactful images fast. If you want to make the most of your RAW files and optimize your photo editing workflow - this online course will take you through all the stages: Organizing, Raw Developing and Non-Destructive Editing to striking photos. I have been in a photography business for over a decade, and in that time I have both failed through making avoidable mistakes due to a simple lack of knowledge, and also seen great successes through implementing the right strategies. In this course, I have put together everything that wasn't there for me when I first started out to create 'the course I wish I'd had' when I started - so that you can take what works for yourself without wasting your time on painful mistakes.

What People Are Saying

“Thank you for this. You are truly an amazing lady. Now I really understand sessions. I have never owned a course where the customer service is so responsive. You should be commended.”

Patrick H.

“Fantastic program, I've learnt a lot about color grading - this was the weakest point in my image editing process. Thanks.”

Lisa S.

“This course is all you need to get professional, high quality images. I had some experience with Lightroom and Camera Raw editors, but never fully committed to any of them. Capture One is for me a complete game changer. This course helped me to systematise my knowledge, improve my skills and at last produce consistently quality photos. Still learning, but with this course it is finally a clear path.”

Mark D

“Finally useful course that helps taming the C1 monster! Well structured, plenty of detailed step by step instructions, knowledgeable instructor. She has a bit of an accent, but it doesn't bother me personally. Great supporting RAW files.”

Scott T.

“"Thanks Kasia for another super helpful course! Great delivery of the content, easy to follow hands-on lessons. Very happy with this purchase, it makes a great addition to my library."”

Bradley M.

“"Brilliant course, packed with valuable, easy to digest information. I've improved my editing skills and learned plenty of fantastic techniques which I'm using on a daily basis in my photography business. I recommend this course to anyone who is serious about their work ad wants first class training. Looking forward to the upcoming course on color grading. Thanks Kasia!"”
