Outstanding course - clear, useful, well-presented. It put to rest a number of persistent myths, which is a great public service! I now feel that I can successfully register my images, something I've never done before. Thank you.

I really appreciate that you guys did a class on this. So far I have only taken photos on personal assignments and this class really helped me with understanding the process of registering my photos. Everyone out there who shoots either professionally, as a hobby or even for personal memories should do this, and if they haven't done this before, I highly recommend that they watch this video and favorite it (like I did) so it is easy to go back and review the class as a reference. Thank you very much!
