The 7-Step Rethink Workflow
The methodology is broken down into seven logical stages. You simply work your way down the list, using the tools you need for your specific image. This is the exact process covered in the training.
Step 1: Core Prep Goal: To build a technically perfect foundation before any creative work begins.
Step 2: Style Launch Goal: To choose a single foundational "style" that sets the overall contrast and dynamic range for your image.
Step 3: Tonal Adjustments Goal: To refine the light and shadow in your image before thinking about color.
Step 4: Color Adjustments Goal: To make precise, targeted adjustments to the colors in your image to enhance mood.
Step 5: Detail Adjustments Goal: To selectively enhance texture and sharpness for a clean, crisp final image.
Step 6: Effects Goal: The fun part! This is where we add atmosphere, mood, and dimension.
