I'm new to photo organizing, will this teach me everything I need to know to get started?
settings
This course is an overview of industry standards and best practices for professional Photo Managers. While the information is essential for anyone with a photo management business, this course is not a "how-to" with hands-on training. If you need training on how to organize photos, we recommend the courses Printed Photo Organizing Made Easy and the DIY Digital Photo Organizing Workshop.
