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.

- Amy, Indiana.
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.
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.
- Marny, Alberta.
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.
Thanks D! Loved the class, feeling empowered to make great prints. Can’t believe the difference between my sharpened test prints and the unsharpened ones I had printed at the same time. Mind blown.
- Michelle, Utah.
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.
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.
- Channon, Western Australia.
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
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.
It's mind blowing the difference! Makes you fall in love with printing your work all over again.
- Sam, Queensland.
Love them! Makes me want reprint everything I have ever printed before now!
- Kristen, Michigan.
Got my prints. They look AWESOME! Thank you very much, Damien!
- Tatyana, Texas.
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.
