MASTERING LIGHTING:
In Volume One, you’ll follow Nick on his visual journey from concept and scout to lighting and post. Watch as he completely reverse-engineers his shooting process and details the pitfalls many photographers fail to avoid. Mastering Lighting gives you the experience of being right there on set, lighting like the pros in real-time.
Mastering Lighting Volume One covers challenging concepts such as lighting a large space, redirecting the sun, balancing natural and artificial light sources, creating light contrast, making hair and skin glow, working with fog, scheduling your setups, and finding the best composition for both your model and the location.
Mastering Lighting is a groundbreaking series that makes once-difficult lighting concepts easy to understand, imprinting the knowledge in a fun and intuitive way. Due to popular demand, we are offering a special library collector’s edition DVD of Mastering Lighting, which includes Nick's Lighting Journal and a SlickforceSoftlight™ reference light toy.
MASTERING RETOUCHING:
LEVEL ONE: Tools & Basics — Master the tools and concepts required for state-of-the-art retouching. Includes lessons on Healing Tools, Brushes, Dodging & Burning, Blurring & Sharpening Filters, Shaping and Contouring, Adjustment Layers, and Blending Modes.
LEVEL TWO: The Slickforce Technique — Learn the method retouchers & photographers have puzzled over for years. The Slickforce Technique™, created by Nick Saglimbeni, enables you to smooth seemingly impossible flaws, while retaining three-dimensionality & texture.
LEVEL THREE: Complete Workflow — Now you're ready to put it all together and complete your first start-to-finish retouch. Follow along as Nick uses the skills taught in the first two lessons to perfect an image. Additional lessons on contour-mapping, relative dodging & burning, and fixing discoloration.
LEVEL FOUR: Light Complexions — Master techniques for retouching skin flaws and discoloration issues commonly associated with models of lighter skin tones. Bonus Lessons on vein removal, fixing mismatched wardrobe colors, and believably tanning a model of pale complexion.
LEVEL FIVE: Dark Complexions — Master techniques for retouching skin flaws and discoloration issues commonly associated with models of darker skin tones. Bonus Lessons on removing back twists, breast "lifting" and removing the appearance of dry or "ashy" skin.
LEVEL SIX: The Stuff Others Won't Teach You — Now you're ready for the major leagues. Tackle "curve ball" issues that stump most retouchers, such as extreme close-ups, harsh sunlight & shadows, stetchmarks, freckles & moles, jewelry removal through hair, moody lighting, and retouching wet models.
BONUS LEVEL: Exotic Features — By popular demand, we've added lessons on fixes commonly requested by models of Asian, East Indian, and Middle Eastern descent. Lessons include facial contouring, eye & nose detail work, creating shape where desired, and achieving a “porcelain skin” glow.
MASTERING COMPOSITING:
LEVEL ONE: Tools & Basics — Award-winning Art Director Clint Davis teaches the tools the pros use to make phenomenal composites. Make perfect selections using lasso, magic wand, and the pen tool. Then, experiment with filters & masks, Refine Edge, and learn to work in Channels for optimal contrast and precision.
LEVEL TWO: Simple Compositing — Gain compositing proficiency with real-world examples that you’ll come across frequently. Master model clipping, use custom brushes to paint effects, practice refining edges on blonde hair, and learn environment tricks such as sky extension and creating artificial clouds & shadows.
LEVEL THREE: Photo Enhancement — Transform a practical image into fantasy. Merge backgrounds for selective exposure, remove unwanted elements & embellish your environment with fog, moody skies, road cracks, and global color filters.
LEVEL FOUR: Magazine Cover — Now you’re ready to take it to the pro level. Master refining edges on animated or busy hair, combine multiple elements for planar compositing, and change light source direction for maximum believeability. Then, turn on headlights, spin car wheels, and add exhaust smoke. Finally, learn the fine art of precise positioning for layout and print publication.
LEVEL FIVE: Advanced Movie Poster — It’s time to put all your skills together to create a true monster composite. Combine and blend multiple complex elements and environments, paint light and shade with masks, create dust and missle trails, add global grunge effects, and move a model’s legs, arms or overall stance using Puppet Warp.

Well made
Size: 11, Color: Black/Geyser
The first thing that stands out about the Columbia PFG Castback Flip sandals is the solid build and clean fishing-inspired design. The Black/Geyser color combination looks sharp and matches the product photos well. The straps feel durable and comfortable against the foot, and the footbed has a slightly cushioned feel that makes them comfortable right out of the box. Overall construction feels sturdy, which is what you’d expect from something designed for outdoor or water use.
In everyday wear, the sandals are comfortable and easy to walk in. The footbed provides decent grip and support, and the textured surface helps keep your foot from sliding around when they get wet. They work well for casual use, whether it’s around the house, at the beach, or after a day on the water. The lightweight feel also makes them easy to pack for trips or outdoor activities.
After wearing them for a while, they hold up well and remain comfortable for daily use. The materials seem durable and the straps stay secure without stretching out. They’re simple, reliable sandals that work well for warm weather, boating, or casual summer wear. Overall, they’re a solid choice for anyone looking for comfortable flip flops with a slightly more rugged outdoor style.

Extremely comfortable with slight roomy fit
Size: 11, Color: Black/Geyser, Size: 11, Color: Black/Geyser
These are easily the most comfortable flip flops I have ever owned. From the moment I put them on, there was no break in period at all. They felt soft, supportive, and ready for all day wear right out of the box.
The cushioning is excellent without feeling too soft, and they have a nice stable feel when walking. They are lightweight and clearly made with quality materials, making them great for everyday use or around water.
One thing to note is that they run a little on the larger side, so if you are between sizes, you may want to consider sizing down for a better fit.
Overall, these are a great combination of comfort, durability, and function. I would absolutely recommend them, especially if comfort is your top priority. (Excuse the teeth marks- my dog unfortunately got ahold of them before I snapped the photo- they are PERFECT out of the box)

Comfortable Flip-Flops with a Clean, Sporty Look
Size: 13, Color: Black/Geyser
I picked up the Columbia Men’s PFG Castback Flip in the black and white colorway, and the first thing I noticed was how comfortable they felt right out of the box.
How They’ve Been Used:
Even though it’s still winter, I’ve been wearing them around the house occasionally to get a feel for the fit and comfort. I plan to use them more regularly outdoors once the weather warms up.
What Worked Well:
Immediate Comfort: The footbed feels cushioned and supportive without needing a break-in period.
Secure Fit: The straps sit comfortably without rubbing or feeling stiff.
Lightweight Design: Easy to slip on and off for quick wear.
Clean Style: The black and white combination gives them a sharp, versatile look.
Positive Feedback: My wife has already commented on how good they look.
Things to Keep in Mind:
Seasonal Use: Best suited for warmer weather and casual settings.
Sizing: Checking the size guide helps ensure the right fit.
Bottom Line:
Based on my experience so far, these flip-flops offer a great balance of comfort and style. They’re comfortable enough for everyday wear and look sharp enough for casual outings. I’m looking forward to putting them to full use once spring arrives.

Columbia always makes great stuff
Size: 14, Color: Espresso II/Black
Even with my flat feet these offer a lot of padding which makes these extremely comfortable. They increase my height about an inch haha. These are great for walking around the beach or just going for walks. The tread on the bottom of these make walking up hills where the surfaces are not completely even extremely easy and very grippy. Time will tell how durable these are, but so far they're holding up very well.

Comfortable Lightweight Flip Flops with Reliable Grip
Size: 9, Color: Black/Geyser, Size: 9, Color: Black/Geyser
These flip flops have an excellent fit with a cushioned footbed that makes them very comfortable to wear for long periods. The grip is strong on wet surfaces, which adds confidence when walking around pools, beaches, or after rain. The overall quality feels top tier, and the color looks clean and well finished. They are lightweight, and the sizing was spot on, making them easy to slip on and wear throughout the day.
