How to Succeed as a Freelancer – Part 1

August 17, 2020 by John Ross

How to Succeed as a Freelancer - Part 1

This video is available with Free For All.
Running Time: 13 minutes

The sad thing about working as a freelancer is that thanks to the word "Free", people often think that the work you do is low cost. In their mind, they are doing YOU the favor by keeping you busy, and helping you grow your portfolio so you can start making some real money.

This mindset completely under values your work, and forces you to spend all of your time underpaid. If you could only break out of the low-cost slump you find yourself in, then maybe you start living a more prosperous life. The problem is that I always felt as though that price was way too high. After all, I didn't want to pay those prices, so nobody else wanted to either. Boy was I wrong.

This video is available with Free For All.
Running Time: 12 minutes

This Digital Fundamentals tutorial is on the difference between editing images in 8-bit color and 16-bit bit depth.

Since 8-bit already exceeds 16 million colors, why in the world do we need to work in a bit depth that moves us into trillions of colors? Visually, they both look the same, why use the higher resolution?

This very quick Digital Fundamentals tutorial is only a few minutes long, but guarantees you will never work in the 8-bit bit depth again! With two adjustments using the levels tool, you
