C - The Lightroom presets for all 12 master Files
Lightroom presets are files containing all the adjustments made to an image in Photoshop. I saved each of the 12 presets used to convert the files and I am including them on the Master Files CD-3.

You can import these presets in Lightroom and see exactly how I adjusted each setting when I converted these 12 photographs.

D - Two tutorial Movies showing, first, my image processing workflow in Lightroom 2 and, second, my optimization workflow in Photoshop CS4:

E - A free gift for the first 40 orders
The first 40 orders will receive, at no extra cost, the 3 presentations that I gave at the Digital Fine Art Summit this November 2008, in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.

These presentations include the audior recording of all 3 presentations plus the handouts that Summit Participants received. Each audio presentation is one hour long for a total audio recording time of 3 hours. Here are the titles of the 3 presentations:

1 - My Image Processing Workflow from Lightroom to Photoshop to printing
2 - What is a fine art print and how do you diagnose "print maladies"?
3 - What are the most important composition rules and what do I think about when I compose a photograph in the field?

Listening to these recordings while reading the PDF formatted handouts is the closest thing to being at the Sumit with us this year.

Here is an excerpt from my "10 Most Important Composition Rules" Presentation:

These 3 audio recordings will be sent free of charge to the first 40 photographers who place their order. They are not part of the Master Files CD-3 and will not be shipped with the Master Files CD-3 after 40 orders are placed.


E - A unique, limited time, special offer
My Master Files are normally only available with some of my Prints of the Months.

Each Master File is valued at $50 (see my Print of the Month with Master File pricing) for a total of $600 (12 x $50).

The Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS4 tutorial movies would be priced at $200 if sold separately.

The regular price for the Master Files CD-3 is $600. However, if you are one of the first 40 to order, you only pay $399, a saving of $200 compared to the reguar price.

Plus, if you are among the first 40 to place your order you receive the 3 Summit presentations FREE. These 3 presentations are valued at $300 ($100 each).

So, If you are among the first to place your order, you save a total of $500 over the regular price ($200 + the Summit presentations valued at $300). This is our way of saying "Thank you" for your business. But, you have to be one of the first 40 to order.


F- The option of ordering a Matted or Matted and Framed signed print of Sabrina Lake Sunrise along with your Master Files CD-3
You also have the option of ordering the CD plus a 16x20 mat size signed print of Sabrina Lake Sunrise(10x15 print size), one of the photographs included in the Master Files CD. This will allow you to see how I process this image, look at the master file of this image, and compare all this to the actual print.Your print will be signed and matted in a hinged museum mat. The print will be done on Hahnemule Photo Rag 308 gr.

Finally, you also have the option of ordering your print Framed in a stunning hand-made Mahogany frame so it is ready to display the minute you receive it.

Sabrina Lake Sunrise, one of my favorite images (and a stunning print, one of my finest) , is one of the Master Files included on the CD. Having both the Master File and the print provides you with the finest opportunity to compare the Master File to the print and see how close one is to the other. There is no substitute for an original print. Everything else is a reproduction. Only the print shows the full quality of the original, the finest representation of the image that you can ever get.

This print is offered at the print of the month price, $225 matted and $325 framed, which is the lowest price I ever sell my prints. The price jumps to $295 matted and $395 framed after the first month, and the regular price, for prints that are not in the Print of the Month collection, is much higher (over $400 matted). Plus, the print of the month collection prints will go up 15% as soon as I have time to update the pages (I have 70 pages to update and have not had the time to do so yet), so you get the lowest price possible, which is a fantastic opportunity to collect my work.

Important note: I think Sabrina Lake Sunrise is a beautiful photograph, and that is why I selected it (I had to pick one out of the 12 photographs on the CD and that was difficult). However, if you want a different print than Sabrina Lake, this is not a problem. You can replace it by any of the 12 master file photographs above. Just let me know which one you want after you place your order.

Shipping costs are included in each order. You do not pay extra for shipping no matter where you live in the world. Each order is carefully packed. Shipping is via US air mail and is insured and trackable. If you live overseas please know that we declare a low value so you do not pay import tax.
