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
Damien — thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing print sharpening class!! I just got this beautiful 20×30 print, and I’m blown away by how freaking amazing it looks.
- Christina, New Jersey
It's mind blowing the difference! Makes you fall in love with printing your work all over again.
- Sam, Queensland.
Super happy client with her beautiful 20×30 canvas. It will be the first thing people see when they come into the house. She was amazed because her other photographers canvases are fuzzy, and lack any depth. THANKS SO MUCH! This class has helped me a ton!
- Lizzy, Idaho.
Damien Symonds, I have to tell you, after taking your classes, you make me ANGRY!!! I want to go back and re-edit every photo I did previously and REORDER every print I ever had made!!!! Your classes need to come with a WARNING- YOU WILL WANT TO REDO YOUR ENTIRE PORTFOLIO AFTER TAKING MY CLASSES!!!
- Mike, Florida.
Thank you thank you Damien! Not my best photo, but the largest one I have ever sold. The client loves it and I have you to thank for saving me from completely embarrassing myself on how to prepare a print this large. The class was worth every penny.
- Sara, Colorado.
If you haven’t taken The Print Sharpening Class do it now, don’t wait! I got my first canvas back today and I’m blown away by how much sharper it is compared to not sharpened!
- Sherri, Michigan.
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.
Damien, I just wanted to say how amazing you are! This metal print came out amazing thanks to your help! I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you thank you Thank you!!!
- Angie, Florida.
Damien – I just got my prints yesterday after I ran your numbers on them, they sat in a corner all night because I was so nervous to open them, I opened them this morning and the tears poured down my face, they are absolutely stunning. i am so proud of them. Thank you so much.
- Tanya, Ontario.
Hi Damien, just wanted to say quick thank you. Just received my prints today and they look aweeeeesomeee!

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.
Another big print sale sharpened to stunning perfection thanks to the print sharpening class. If you are not sharpening for output yet you MUST take this class. It will change your life.
- Kelly, South Carolina.
I’m blown away with how much I’ve learned. I can’t believe I was producing prints for people with such a lack of knowledge. I’ve always been uncomfortable with sharpening for print and I wished I had someone to teach me to do it properly… MY WISH CAME TRUE! If you find yourself questioning your ability (which if you haven’t taken this class I am pretty confident you aren’t doing it correctly) you need to take this class. Its worth every single penny! Thanks Damien for sharing your knowledge.
- Nicole, California.
This class changed my whole world when it comes to printing. Definitely worth the investment!
- Autumn, Oklahoma.
