Tools to Get You Started

Clicking the Adobe link to the left take you to the Adobe Free Trial Page, where you can select the Photoshop and Lightroom Plan for $19.99/Month. These days you can do 90% of your image editing in LrC. Having Photoshop though add significant editing capability over and above your typical tools in Lightroom. I do suggest that you select the Photoshop/Lightroom Bundle.

NordVPN creates an encrypted “tunnel” over the internet to protect the data traveling between you and your internet destination — anything from your online banking account to a video-sharing website to a search engine.

This tunnel is created by first authenticating your computer with a VPN server. The server then uses one of several encryption protocols to make sure that no one can monitor the information traveling between you and your online destination.

When you go on site to do a shoot (Weddings, Sports, Seniors etc), your gear is critical. I use FJ-400 Strobes in the field and they are simply fantastic. With features like “Masking”, you can take two images in sequence and you have both a Mask and a final Image. Then, in Photoshop, you can process an image to be used as a cutout and place that image over any desired background. The batteries on the FJ-400 gives you up to ~480 Full Power shots. You can’t go wrong with Westcott.
