My editing process and the future of the podcast
May 8, 202100:20:37Tap to summarizeFor this last episode of the season, I chose to talk about my experiences using a new editing software; Paintshop Pro 2021 created by Corel. This episode is not sponsored by Paintshop Pro or Corel, it is simply my own words about what this editing software provides and my overall opinion of it for when I edit my photography work. I will also be talking about my recent decision to have a short break from the podcast. I briefly discuss what plans I have in store and what you can expect to hear in the not too distant future!
