Referral letter from Bill Keay Do yourself this one favor. Sign up NOW for George Jang's next photoshop class. The learning curve instruction of photoshop and color management feels like a "one-on-one" experience in George's classes. Starting as a photographer at the famous "Brooks Institute of Photography", he now teaches his incredible skills at photoshop management for a "complete digital photographic workflow" experience. This is indeed, a rare experience! The important think to me is that he can teach those who have little experience with photoshop to those who live daily with this important work tool. Without question, George loves his craft and is one of those rare people who can teach it to others. We have been clients of George's for many years - he is the best! I have no hesitation in recommending George's photoshop "experiences". He conducts them with style and his own special brand of humor! Without a doubt, these special classes will reinforce your love for digital photography! Bill Keay He is a staff photographer for the Vancouver Sun newspaper, where he won the Canadian "National Newspaper Awards" for feature photography, an "Adward of Excellence" in the photographer-of -the -year compitition held by the National Press Association in the United States, and 6 Canadian Press Awards.
Referral letter from Don MacGregor M.Photog.CR.API SPA,MPA,F/PPABC/A,(HLM) In my pursuit of building confidence and knowledge in Photoshop I have studied with anyone and everyone... Only to sit back and say I have more to learn. Then I met George....George not only brings a depth of knowledge and skills into the Photoshop work flow but does not hesitate to make a suggestion as to the management of the final file. Most labs want "throughput" and thats ok if you are on your game, but having someone who suggests alternatives and offers suggestions as how to achivever your vision of a final image is quite unique. Don has earned his Canadian and American Photography Degrees - Masters, Craftsman, Fellow and Service. And he has been involved prominently in the photographic community, as past president of both the Professional Photographers of Canada and the Professional Photographers of British Columbia.

Referral letter from Erich Saide Referral Letter from Erich Saide I have been using George for years for a lot of my problem images as his years of experience have far exceeded my skills in that department. Recently I shot the Felions calendar down in Puerto Vallarta and after finishing off the images to my ability I was still having problems with color correction and even skin tones for offset print. After watching him work on them I was truly amazed at how he made then look more amazing and the techniques he used to do it. Even with the printer not having proper profiles for the clients he was able to create his own working backwards off the proofs I brought him. I am proud to say I will be taking his course to learn new skills and hone the ones I already have.
