The Print Sharpening Class
Effective sharpening is the difference between nice prints and amazing prints. If you are one of those people who say …
- "I export for print from Lightroom, and my prints are great"
- "I have a sharpening action, and my prints are great"
- "I’ve never resized my files for printing, and my prints are great"
… alas, you are mistaken. You only think they’re great, because you’ve never seen how much better they can be. Once you’ve seen truly sharp prints, you’ll cringe at the blandness of your old prints.

Testimonials
Awesome class! Anybody who is serious enough to print their work, needs to do this class. My test prints looked amazing, I had to hang them on my wall. This class is definitely a confidence builder! Thank you.

Ok, Damien, you’ve sold me. I was reaaaaaaaaally skeptical of your methods after I had to add a ridiculous amount of luminance to some photos in order to eradicate every single speck of noise before sharpening. They looked SO hideous and soft and mushy on screen I just couldn’t imagine that they were going to print well at all. But I stuck to your numbers and sharpened them and put in my order. I just received them today and they. look. INCREDIBLE. The skin texture that looked like plastic on screen is perfect after the slight sharpening noise and the very subtle texture of the print. And even after adding up to +70 luminance to some of them they are actually sharper and more detailed than previous photos I had printed unsharpened. I’m blown away. I’ve been staring at these for like 10 minutes because they’re just so stunning.

Your class enabled me to move my business to the next level and fulfill my dream to sell wall art portraits. After a few months in the class, I started offering wall art galleries and that is now my studio’s most popular product. My clients love their portraits and cherish them as art. I would have never had the confidence and passion to sell large wall portraits haven’t I taken your class, Damien. All your class are priceless. Thank you.

The Print Sharpening course is AMAZING!!!! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could produce such sharp photos in my life. NEVER. You might think you have a handle on sharpening. I am here to tell you that you do not know sharpening until you know Damien sharpening.
- Carol, South Carolina.
It looks absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Words cannot express how grateful I am for your help in making my photos look the very best they can! Thank you SO very much!

Damien I just have to gush for a moment. I’ve taken all of your classes now and am so appreciative of what I learned. I feel like I was floundering as a wanna-be professional and over the past year or so have finally found my voice as a photographer. No more paid for actions and stumbling around in my editing. I still have so much to learn I know but I have grown leaps and bounds and give you so much of the credit. Thank you! I just received an enormous 30×40 metal print of my daughter to hang in my living room and cried when I opened it. It is sharpened to perfection thanks to your print sharpening class. I’m seriously waiting to feel the slight breeze that is blowing in her hair it looks so life-like. I refer other photographers to your classes on a weekly basis. They are crazy if they don’t sign up. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
- Lindsay, Texas.
I just got my 30×40 canvas in today…it’s perfect! Can’t wait to get it hung in the studio! Thank you so much Damien.
- Twyla, Utah.

- Anne Marie, Pennsylvania.
Oh my!! I got my prints back!!!! I think they are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I am so thrilled! I have a huge order to send in tonight and now I will be certain they will look fantastic! Compared to my other prints they are so much better!
- Amy, Indiana.
If you even a little bit hesitant about taking the sharpening class, don’t be. I am useless at maths, and I managed to make this amazing print and have subsequently ordered very large canvases and prints (24x36inches) for clients with confidence. Worth every cent.
