Dear Mike (An encouraging letter to myself I wish I would have received in 2009)

Dear Mike, For some strange reason you have decided to start a business during a recession. You're not exactly setting yourself up for success here, but I digress... A man named Peter Hurley is going to come into your life and he will have a coaching platform named PH2 PRO. You need to follow him. You need to do as he says. You've got a difficult road ahead...

Then and Now

I think it was Amanda I was talking to about this. But I said I would post a then-and-now headshot comparison so you can see that *everyone* starts somewhere. The first headshot is of my girlfriend Lindsay. The second is of my wife Lindsay! Took the first one I think before I officially signed up? Second one was last year. So if you're not feeling it or not...

White background with Capture One

How do you do it? I'm still using Capture One 12, and it works great! 1. Use the color readout to see if the background is really 255 (chances are it is not, or you'd be flaring your subject) 2. Note the falloff towards the edges of your background. 3. Make a new filled layer. 4. Move the top-right point of the curve to the left, bringing all points of the...

White background in Photoshop

How do you do it? Here is one my workflows. Color space is important, but we need to take extra care switching from one software to another (our camera is using software, so how many are considering that too?) 1. Use the color readout in Capture One to see if background is 255 white. If not, and I need to go to Photoshop, then I right click "edit with"...

Flex Dimmer not turning on

I just set up my new Flex Kit to use for the second time but one of the dimmers won’t power on at all. I’ve tried different power cords but it won’t turn on. Any tips? Contact at Westcott to help?
