Breakfast at Charly’s

If you haven’t caught the work of David Nightingale from Chromasia then scurry over toute de suite. His digital images are incredible and I’ve always wanted to know what he does to get that Chromasia flavor. Having as good a business mind as an artistic eye, he took the fact that I’m one of hundreds (thousands?) who are wondering the same thing and has decided to write his own set of Photoshop tutorials.

Much like a dealer with crack, he gives you a taste of some for free but the really good stuff costs you a little coin. Individual tutorials are available for Â£5.00 (approximately $10 USD). Annual subscriptions will set you back Â£25.00 (~$50 USD) and, for a limited time, a lifetime subscription will cost you a cool Â£50.00 (~$100 USD). What do you get for your money?

Free Chromasia Tutorial: Free tutorial! Duh! Individual Tutorial: 12 month access to the individual tutorial only. Annual Subscription: One year of automatic access to tutorials as they are released; a dedicated private forum for tutorial-based discussion and various offers exclusive to members that currently include a 10% discount on pixyBlog hosting and a 10% discount on prints ordered from Chromasia. Lifetime Membership: All of the above until the end of time or when Dave decides to stop writing tutorials (whichever comes first).

Given his gift for Photoshop and proven track record of beautiful imagery, I suspect that the tutorials are full of valuable tips and tricks to help you massage your already fantastic image to greatness. Or it could just help you make your pics look a little better. I mean, he’s good but not that good.
