Rick Maschke

Without exception, I am enthusiastic about the quality of the knowledge imparted and its topicality! I miss a bit of support in the technical implementation!

Rick worked with me in an intensive coaching session to set a new course for my creative business. We looked at and adjusted everything from my online presence via website and social media to a suitable approach for my email marketing. I took away lots of useful tips and ideas, and I found his extensive knowledge of chat GPT particularly helpful. I then had precise next steps, which I have continued to work with and am now seeing the first successes. Thank you very much, Rick!

Rick passes on his knowledge in an educational way and the lessons are very well coordinated. I have been working with PS for many years and have watched dozens of tutorials over the years, but Rick is by far the best trainer. And for free too. He deserves the Oscar for the best Photoshop course.

I received a comprehensive introduction to Photoshop, with the step-by-step instructions providing an excellent introduction to the complex subject matter. It should also be emphasized that there is no unnecessary superstructure. Didactically very well structured. It is also very helpful that I can go back to previous modules at any time. This has given me a lot of additional knowledge, because my understanding builds up quickly and comprehensively.

With many trainers you feel like you're sitting in a school class again, with Rich it's as if a good friend is explaining it to you.

The individual modules are very well explained. I always try to reproduce what has been explained on my own objects, which I often succeed in doing and I can immediately see an improvement in my previous work. I have also noticed that people look at the results in magazines and journals in a completely different way than before, especially when it comes to competing products, which helps me to improve my own work and deliver better quality. Thanks for the help.

The online training market is huge and Rick Maschke's videos really stand out here. It starts with basic knowledge and good tips and goes all the way to real professional tips that you won't get anywhere else. He also doesn't try to sell his trainings as the only truth and goes into depth and detail on various topics in image editing. I've already made huge progress with it and I'm excited to see what else is waiting for me. :)

In short, the personal contact and the high level of expertise are the most important things for me at the Academy

I use the Akadrmie Set 22.o1.24 I am very very satisfied. I am in modil Raw development.the perspectives and lines work well.I watched the video 3 times then understood.the perspectives helped me a lot. I showed the finished photo to my neighbor a professional photographer and photoshoper.he told me,the photo would be good,I can use that to use an enlargement about 60cm x 80 cm.thanks to Rick
He is very good.👍👍👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

In my search for high-quality tutorials for Lightroom and Photoshop, I came across Rick Maschke's academy. What persuaded me to follow his format was the combination of well-founded knowledge transfer and his pleasantly unagitated and likeable manner.
Taking part in the advent calendar, where compact knowledge was imparted over 24 days and there was the chance to win a final prize draw - easy and exciting.
When I finally won the academy in the prize draw, it felt like an indescribable stroke of luck. I am more than grateful to have been given this opportunity.
But what makes the Maschke Academy so special?
It is the continuity, the positive enthusiasm and the passion with which Rick didactically develops and conveys the learning content. When dealing with complex problems, he keeps his vision and is able to recognize and address potential follow-up errors - a sign of his expertise and experience.
The best thing about it is that you can learn at your own pace and the resources are unlimited. It gives me great pleasure, because every time I am rewarded with an "aha" experience and feel I have made a step forward.
The variety of formats on offer, such as live calls, video material, learning tasks and group discussions, as well as the exchange in the Facebook group, lead to an enriching transfer of knowledge among all participants. The overall concept of the platforms is coherent and really helps you to develop your own skills.
I can recommend the Maschke Academy to anyone who wants to put their image processing on a solid footing and improve it. A big thank you to Rick Maschke and the entire team for their valuable work.

All applications and insights are always well explained. Of course, because of the complexity, I can't yet edit all my photos better, but have to look at a lesson several times and, after the first time, start to apply this experience to an example at the same time. And the positive thing is that I can use this without restriction, at my own pace.

The Maschke Academy was one of the best investments in me and my image editing skills in recent years. Until now, as a photographer, I have only used Lightroom and a few ready-made, purchased Photoshop actions - without having a basic understanding of this powerful program. Thanks to Rick's detailed videos, in which he explains everything from scratch and goes into depth, I have finally gained this basic understanding of Photoshop. I look forward to every hour that I can free up to watch a new video of the really comprehensive course and then implement what I have just learned. Rick's videos are professional and the content is well prepared. Another important point for me with videos is the voice of the speaker and the presence or, ideally, absence of a dialect. This is another big "pro" for Rick's courses.
And last but not least, Rick is absolutely customer-oriented. If you want to improve your image processing skills, the Maschke Academy provides you with concentrated knowledge at a very good price-performance ratio.

Rick is just great. I am incredibly grateful that we came across each other.
We always work together as equals and in a very respectful way. His calm and trusting manner creates a really harmonious working environment. He has always held up a mirror to me in a humorous way, which has made me question my own patterns. This enabled me to optimize my processes and open myself up to real change.
What I learned from Rick about automation is incredible. Not only does it save me a huge amount of time in my everyday life, it also makes me really happy!

From the bottom of my heart 5 stars and a clear recommendation!
Thank you Rick 🙏🏻

Knowledge is imparted in a very sustainable and pragmatic way. The pace is pleasant and adapted to the importance of the topic. But Rick's enthusiasm for the possibilities of image editing in Camera Raw or Photoshop also literally leaps out at you. He lives the subject of photo editing to perfection.

It would be helpful if the corresponding images in RAW format were already made available in Module 1 in the Camera Raw Basics section.

When you join the Academy, you benefit from a huge treasure trove of everything you could ever learn about image processing. If you need help, there are live calls twice a week where everything is done together to help or find solutions. I'm excited to see what else awaits me.

With his TÜV-certified academy, Rick Maschke offers a didactically well thought-out concept for learning everything to do with image processing. The topics are structured and build on each other. Rick Maschke is a professional lecturer with a calm and pleasant manner. He is always approachable, responds quickly and always provides added value. You can tell that Rick Maschke is really passionate about what he does and I am happy to be part of this academy.

You feel accepted and included in a learning group, whereby everyone can determine their own learning pace. As a hobby photographer, I considered making this investment for a long time. So far I have no regrets, because the long-term access puts the costs into perspective. The didactics of the teaching material is very well coordinated and clearly structured. Some illusory ideas about what Photoshop's automatic functions can achieve are put right and other solutions with better results are shown. You can feel your own development in the use of the software and are amazed. Questions are answered quickly and competently. A clear recommendation.

I am very satisfied with Rick's performance. He has a very pleasant way of imparting knowledge that is well-founded and easy to understand. I would sign up for the academy again, especially as it is a lot of fun. LG Barbara

Simply perfectly structured and well thought out from start to finish. The personal contact is also simply great and helpful.

Thanks to Rick, I got a taste for creative photo editing and lost my fear of the "big, complex" Photoshop. Rick is a very good teacher who can explain things well and makes you want to try things out for yourself. The academy is a great place to learn. You also get to talk to other students in the live calls. All questions are welcome here. Rick is an approachable person on the Internet.
