I'd have paid a lot of money to watch him cull photo's for two or three books, listening to his thought process while he chooses which photos to include and which to cry over and then leave out. He doesn't even give tips about what to think about when culling down your own photos. Unfortunately, Daniel doesn't go into how to go about doing so. Secondly: he shows you how to add a background color to your pages, but nothing about when to do that, why to do that, and how to do it well.Ī last example: Daniel's most important advice is to "edit tight" - SUPER important but for me, really difficult. The section on color management is basically "Remember to calibrate your screen and soft proof using an icc profile." If you don't know what either of those mean, this course won't teach you what it is, much less how to do it. ) and how important they are, but don't expect anything but a shout out to help you remember to do it well. It names all the steps (color management, edit, sequence. What the course does not do, however, is teach you how to make a book. As someone who learned Blurb by downloading the program and clicking away (from time to time searching some online forums) these are extremely useful things I wouldn't have known about any other way. In my case, I learned that Blurb has downloadable icc profiles as well as the ability to make low-res proof pdfs. I definitely learned a couple things, and given that I watched it during a free broadcast, it was totally worth the price of admission (in my case, 60 minutes of my time). It was also helpful to me as someone who has already made a few Blurb books already but wanted to learn to use it better. What I mean is, it is helpful for people who have made books and/or photo albums before and want to learn how to use Blurb. This course is about how to use Blurb, not about how to make a book.
