Asked for help
Does anyone have any resources on how to take professional images of traditional work like Stan and the Proko-Team? TLDR; I was interested into how the proko team takes immaculate images of their traditionally drawn work for publication and am trying to find ways to imitate their process for documenting and publishing my own traditionally made work. I was interested in taking professional images of my work for posting online and portfolio making. In my head, my end goal is to take images similar to how Stan takes amazing images of his work for the course videos that almost look like they were scanned. Were they scanned? lol. Even his video tutorials are so well lit that his traditional drawings, to me, compete with most other digital creators. Like, his sketchbook just stays flat white without any vignetting and it makes me so intrigued as to how he actually sets up his workstation and edits the images in post to look so clean. I'm really confused, and searching online didn't really help as most other content creators don't actually show details like their lighting set-up and image post-processing. I understand for most flat traditional work, the recommendation for professional publication, is to purchase a reliable scanner. But what If I want to document something that is larger than A4 or painted? A3 scanner prices are insane and anything larger is definitely out of the question for individuals like myself, typically only established businesses have access to purchasing these. :/ If someone from the Proko team can see this and respond, It would be super helpful! If not, I'm fine too Would appreciate it if some one had a definitive guide to taking such images or new a resource with enough detailing on how to take professional images of artwork

@Proko Looking at the lesson list, I have a question. What's the difference between the blue check and the orange check for Completed Lessons? Does one mean seen once, and the other seen more than once?
Kimberly Lee-Lewis Adams
Hey, @Josh Fiddler & @Michael Hampton! We typically use blue checks to indicate products you own, and the red checks to indicate products you don't! So, if you complete a free lesson in a course you don't own, the check will be Proko Red. In a course you own the check will be blue. Hope this makes sense! Let me know. :)

Where do I find the downloads. Looking to do the first lesson where I draw the pear.
Kimberly Lee-Lewis Adams
Hi there, @mmanikho! When lessons or tools have downloads, you can find them under the Downloads tab of the lesson or tool. See the screenshot below! Hope this helps.

This doesn't seem to be working in the latest versions of PS and PS beta. The tool shows up in plugins has the enable button but does nothing after that. Did you have any suggestions on how to fix this? I absolutely love the tool and would love to keep using it. FIXED: I was going to delete this comment but this might help others. I just moved the plugin, as it actually says in the text document, to "C:\ > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop 2022 > Plug-ins". In my use case it was "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Plug-ins". This got things up and running right away! I feel a little silly posting here about it all but it wasn't immediately obvious to me so hopefully this helps someone else too! NOTE: The tool is amazing and should just be a staple of PS honestly. It is fantastic to use and well worth the asking price if you are on the fence folks!
