Krea is the main program I am using for the AI image generation part of this workshop. Nothing else compares right now.
No need for Discord, it runs right on the website. You can use Krea.ai now to do the work of Midjourney, Firefly or any of the other programs that pale in comparison. Training the program from your own images, train your main subject and then train your background. All from your own images. Or create styles from generated ideas. Create beautiful artwork and then in Photoshop, you can quickly paint the image fast using an Action, add a little bit of custom brush work and your done! (Or if you want to spend time hand painting the image in Photoshop with the mixer brush and painty brush using traditional methods, you can.) Finally a way that busy photographers that want to start painting, can without the deep dive of the learning curve of the process of painting in Photoshop or Corel.
Course Curriculum
judy-reinford-education A Reinford
In 1989 Judy graduated from Kutztown University and started working in photography for Hess’s department store. She photographed everything from china to jewelry to bed linens. Looking back, climbing a 10 foot ladder to use an 8x10 film camera to photograph products that were printed on plastic and backlit for store displays was fun and challenging. There was no Photoshop.
In 1994 Judy started working at an ad agency in pre-press, scanning film on a large drum scanner
and working in Photoshop to edit and composite. This led to a job at Rodale Press, continuing
to do the same thing
Returning to photography with her new skills, Judy started a career as a fine art photographer. Judy specializes in Equine and Pet photography. Her studio is located in Bath, Pennsylvania. As a mom to 7 spoiled Pomeranians, Judy enjoys working with the unpredictability, high energy, and often time challenging task of photographing animals big and small.
Judy’s interest in zoo photography came about with her interest in print competitions. This led to an interest in fundraising and donating to the zoo’s finished work for Gala silent auctions. Having a charity or nonprofit that matches the type of art she created was a perfect match. Judy Reinford has a BFA in Communication Design and Fine Art Photography from Kutztown University in Kutztown, PA.
