He explains how he started the company and grew it to 1,500 customers in three months in this Marketing Show interview. Nate's story is pretty interesting in its own right. Help your work do its own promotion on those little screens, that is. Fortunately, Nate Grahek, founder of StickyAlbums and a Minneapolis-based photographer himself, has put together an intriguing subscription service to do just that. Well, you didn't promote it, right? "How do you do that?" you ask, pointing out that we live in a one-handed society, the other hand being occupied with a cell phone 24/7. That's why you sold the Camry and had some guy make you a Web site nobody visits. What's This? It's the app icon on an iPad to our Regatta slide show. The trick is to get your work to do its own promotion. We get a call from Sheila the Robot every day, several times in fact. Cold calls are as passe as answering the door bell to a stranger. You have to promote your business.įorget the time-honored methods, frankly. They go into business because they love something other than promotion.īut there's no escaping it. Because nobody goes into business to promote. Promotion, of course, is the part of running a business nobody enjoys.

Had it been about business, that hit tune would more likely have been called "Let's Promote This Thing." You can have a shelf full of bottled secret sauce but if you don't promote it, get some hair spray to erase the expiration dates. In fact, nothing in that play that will even get you into business school. As mentioned here, documentation or tutorials of OV3 are almost non-existent, so sometimes I get frustrated with it and give up for a while (and its awful slowness with no indicator that it is still working on an adjustment makes it even worse).But it doesn't do much for business. While I shoot RAW, the goal is always to try and get the shot as right as I can right out of the camera. I feel it could be a very educational tool to understanding the in camera adjustments that can (and should) be made at the time of the shoot. With older shots I am finding that while it can straighten up things, that I didn't shoot the shots with keystone in mind I end up with a straight, but severely cropped scene.Īnd also I simply want to better understand OV3 in general. OV3 showed me its usefulness as well as showing me you really need it ON at the time of shooting so you frame the shot correctly with the keystone on. I have now added the keystone function to one of my camera's function buttons to try and get in the habit of using it more while shooting. I started to play around a bit with some of my older shots in OV3 to see how well it corrects those leaning back buildings.
But there are those few times where playing around with OV3 I get something closer to what I envisioned when I took a shot when using OV3.Īnother feature I knew about but kind of ignored it the keystone correction. In many other instances I find iPhoto's implementation of my Oly RAWs are as good as OV3 so use it for the bulk of my stuff. I keep meaning to play around with OV3 more as I think in some instances I have found its processing of my RAW files give much better colors and texture than my usual work flow which is just iPhoto on my Mac. I probably didn't notice it since I haven't played around with it that much and so don't recall ever going back to the same photos with it. When I open OV3 my edits show up with the photo, but what happens if my system were to crash and I had to reload OV3?Īh, thanks for that. On a related note, are the edits I make are saved with the file? Or do I have to do this manually. I haven't deleted much because I'm still figuring out the management. I'm also concerned that these pictures are in a folder named "Saved pictures." I might have named it that, but normally I would use either the date, or a more descriptive name, so I'm worried that I somehow messed up as I was working on the files. I can see the photos in my file explorer, but I cannot find a way to relink them.
I'm importing from the camera fine, I can edit my pictures and export them, but then tonight I started getting, "The linked file is missing" for images from a particular shoot. I'm not sure I'm doing things efficiently and correctly. Most of my question are around file management and work flow processes. I'm pretty good with photoshop, so I'm familiar with many of the tools. I did a bunch of google searches, but came up with very little. I was afraid people would confirm there's not much out there.
