As training coordinator it is
an exciting but challenging time trying to keep up with the multitude
of software and hardware options available to our staff and customers.
In the film days (wow, that’s only six years ago), the
photographer for the most part controlled their image quality and
contrast with exposure and film type. Occasionally when those were not
optimum, Miller’s was always there to bail our customer out of a
jam. They sent the film to the lab for proofs, made the sale from
those proofs, masked negative cards and the lab did the rest. For many
years the only thing that changed was the fact that the film got better and Miller’s
got faster. It was a simpler time for sure.
The
professional digital photographer of today has to know so much more
than just lighting, composition, exposure, and posing. Being able to capture a great image
today does not necessarily mean success tomorrow. There is more competition than ever. The
equipment and features change weekly. New and updated software programs
are released daily it seems. How do you know which bells and whistles
are going to be most beneficial before you buy? Heck, it’s hard to keep
up with all of the new products Miller’s keeps adding not to mention
how to incorporate them into your sales and marketing. And by the way,
you still have to find time to actually service your clients. We do
understand how precious your time is to your businesses success and we
want to help.
We have a large selection of digital training programs
available to you through WebEx classes. These programs are completely
