Please have the photos he is manipulating somewhere we can download so we can be working on the same photo he is working on.
 

I understand this was an overview.  Please in the next portions go step by step very deliberately to start.  Later on we can get to tricks etc.

We can put the photos up so you can follow along, certainly.

As for teaching style, every presenter is different and to some degree we viewers need to adapt somewhat to the differences in teaching style. Not every presenter has the ideal approach for us and our own learning style.

Also, Rick told us going in that ad-hoc live is not his best venue for passing on his methods, so starting in episode 3 and beyond, we're moving from a live presentation mode to a scripted presentation mode. Rick is more comfortable with scripted versus live.

I am more than happy to make the original photographs available........Joe and I discussed this earlier tonight. Now, how to do that with the least amount of problems. The photos if presented in a forum post will be reduced from a maximum of 4000 px wide to 1600 px wide when manually selected. I am thinking of making my original photos available but being only partially literate in the digital world I really don't want to set up some site just for this. My thinking is that if you and others could contact me I can send you directly the photos that were used.........Joe may have a more efficient method in mind. 

 Let me know what you think about this.

 

On the other subject of "step by step"........that is somewhat difficult for me.

  I have completed my videos and they are out of my hands now.

Honestly, I don't so much have a method that can be explained step by step as I have an approach. It's that approach I am doing my best to explain. I know it is not the best way to do a tutorial but loose and rough is the way I work and the only way I can present and hope that the viewer can get a peek into my world. All in, this series is an experiment and I am trying to find my way through it.

 Edit: looks like Joe is going to make the photos available so the viewer can practice their chops. Thanks Joe.

I'll look around for the full resolution shots of the building so if anybody actually wants to build the structure that will show up a little later in the series they'll have access to the identical source material that I used.

Okay, Part 1 photo resources added

Okay, on this video look for the resources tab. That goes to a zipped folder with the photos Rick manipulates in this first segment. Just download, unzip, and voila -- have fun following along with Rick on the very same photos he's using!

Thanks for listening and adapting

Once again Joe you have proven the value of online media. You did this by addressing a concern in the forum and then replying, while actually changing the production. Well done.

Thanks to Jim for bringing this up. I love my Affinity Photo and often practice editing by working along with the YouTube Channel Affinity Revolution. They provide the photos they are modifying so we can follow along. It is a great way to teach and show results.
