truArt, trueArt, tru Art, true Art, artistic, fine art, documentary, documentarian, photojournalistic, candid, reportager, and wedding photojournalism. truArt™ eBooks A series of eBook articles on the truArt™ process, workflow, and philosophy should published in the winter of 2005-2006 and available for purchase. Part I: truArt™ Processing This article is targeted at photographers and aims to take the reader through the identification and definition of image parameters that could and should be adjusted, tweaked, fine-tuned, customized, corrected, and optimized during the Processing stage (the "what" could and should be adjusted). The full Workflow of how each image parameter can and should be adjusted and optimized will be discussed in an upcoming series of articles by the author (the "why" and "how" each parameter should be adjusted). After having read this article, the reader should understand all image parameters and feel that his or her images will benefit from the optimization of each parameter discussed in the article. The reader will conclude that processing a digital image goes much further than just adjusting color and exposure. truArt™ Seminars After having personally processed well over 100,000+ digital images, I introduced the truArt™ process – providing more accurate, consistent, and vibrant colors with increased details in the shadows and highlights – closer to what the eyes see. Since then, I’ve been inundated with requests from photographers for them to purchase a software that would allow them to apply my truArt™ process to their own images. The truArt™ process is not a software, it’s a way of seeing and controlling light, exposing, and selecting the right software and workflow, and finally evaluating and adjusting each image parameter for unequalled results. The Seminar Format Rather than using and showcasing my own images, images provided by the attendees are used to walk through the truArt™ process in details and leave the participants with a very personal experience. The objective is not to comment/critique the images, technique, or contents but rather to use these “real-life” images to enhance the participants processing capabilities and provide a forum for lively discussions. To build the seminar foundation starting at the right level for the group, each participants fills out a short questionnaire, which is submitted with their image(s). The evening seminar is perfect for photography clubs as well as local photography chapters. Recommended class size is about 15 to 30 participants. Custom full-day and multi-day seminar also available. Please note that seminar facilities not provided.

After Canon went to great length to cover-up and deny any "lost image" issues with their flagship 16.7 megapixels Canon 1Ds Mark II, award-winning wedding photographer, JR Geoffrion decided to invest in other equipment to protect his clients' images. After thorough testing and evaluation, JR opted for the Leica R9 equiped with the Digital Module-R. With the Leica optics, the images quality and signature far exceed that of the Canon 1Ds Mark II and Nikon D2x.

JR has regularly experienced the serious Canon 1Ds Mark II image disappearance on several occasions (aka Canon 1Ds buffer flush problem or Canon 1Ds lock problem), prompting him to change his entire Canon system in order to protect his clients' images. In summary, I really think Canon sucks.
As a direct result of the Canon 1Ds Mark II’s failure to perform and Canon’s repeated denial of any issue, I have experienced the following: - Loss of key client images at every wedding; - Personal damage to my reputation; - Hundreds of lost hours and continuous stress over a period exceeding five (5) months while trying to troubleshoot the issues; and - Over $12,000 in out-of-pocket cost to replace equipment and accessories. As a professional photographer who not only exclusively used but also promoted and featured Canon products, I was extremely disappointed Canon went to such great length to cover-up and deny there was a problem, only responding when faced with serious legal repercussions. I sincerely hope Canon will take this opportunity to review its values, ethics, and business and public relations practices. http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=PgComSmModDisplayAct&keycode=2112&fcategoryid=215&modelid=10598
