How much money are you willing to spend...
on a DVD of Photoshop retouching techniques. My friend BCG says all of you would spend a fortune to learn. Is this true? If I made a DVD with layered files showing how everything is done would you buy it or scoff at it? Oct 22 06 11:46 am Link BCG? DVD? Oct 22 06 11:48 am Link OMG?

Oct 22 06 11:51 am Link If I were smart enough to figure out from the layers exactly what you did, I'd buy it. I'd love to learn more from you, your retouching rocks my dirty little socks.

Places like http://www.lynda.com/ are a tough act to follow.. Oct 22 06 12:01 pm Link Does BCG come with layers : Is he Electra-fied ?

Oct 22 06 12:06 pm Link I'll buy it only if BCG lets me shoot with Model THUG Oct 22 06 12:07 pm Link Vance wrote: Tough act to follow? Huh! Oct 22 06 12:14 pm Link It's just not the same..

He's on here watching from his new identity but he's finally learned how to attack by stealth so he won't be banned again. God that Thug part was funny. Hasta luego! Oct 22 06 12:20 pm Link Hi Bob I've tried all sorts of books, CD's blah,blah but I just have a real tough time getting a handle on things that way. It's like trying to learn yoga by reading a manual; forget it. I personally need the haptic experience. I'd pay zero. But that's just me.

Oct 22 06 12:23 pm Link well if it the best way for you to teach the masses, personally I learn better sitting on someones knee...*bats eyes* Oct 22 06 12:25 pm Link i think anything educational is worth your time as you can pick up info that would take you a lot longer to figure out on your own. so i guess i am saying that yes i would be interested but then it comes to how much you are thinking of charging. if it is too pricey you will never sell it but if you put a reasonable price on it then i think you would have some buyers. good luck with it. Oct 22 06 12:25 pm Link Bob Randall Photography wrote: what ? what ? Oct 22 06 12:25 pm Link $17.35-$28.14 (depending on the audio) Oct 22 06 12:30 pm Link 19.95 if you throw in a George Foreman Next Grilleration Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine.

Oct 22 06 12:33 pm Link I'd be more likely to pay $5 or $10 for an online download of this stuff. Cut out the materials and shipping costs. And no frisbee to scratch or lose. Oct 22 06 12:34 pm Link I would give my $0.02 for your $0.02. Unless it you were including more than your 2 cents. Like what kind of promotional items would it come with? Blowup model dolls or something? RB Oct 22 06 12:34 pm Link You can't buy respect on MM.. Of course you also can't EARN respect on MM.. I respect Bob's work.. I must tease Bob's threads.. With that in mind: Maybe if you throw in a soundtrack of you laughing at me while I work and a nightstick that smells funny.. Oct 22 06 12:49 pm Link Craig (BCG) just made a suggestion that may increase the interest in this project. How about if the tutorial pictures featured lesbians in full sexual attack mode. Actually, he suggested specific names of moderators to participate, but I thought that might be construed as inflamatory so I opted to simply make it generic lesbians. Thoughts?

IMHO, BCG's DVD on PS for TFP/CD here at MM (or OMP) is just BS. FWIW. STFU...

Oct 22 06 03:45 pm Link There are a ton from photoshopuser.com, lynda.com, totaltraining.com, shootsmarter.com, etc. The thing is, there's many different ways to achieve an effect in PS. If you got something completely different than what's out there.. I'd love to see it. But to answer you're question.. I've spent hundreds on tutorials. Oct 22 06 04:00 pm Link Photoshopp is a breeze-I've mastered it 10 times over. People can buy books at any bookstore (free at a Library) to learn the skills needed- then practice, practice , practice. Hell no- I wouldn't buy your crap CD! Oct 22 06 04:04 pm Link |
