Diamond 9 – Process Optimization dropped this week.
If you feel like you have so many tools and so many options but no clear path from brief to final image, you do not need yet another plugin, you need a pipeline. This Diamond walks you through a complete production workflow, including local AI integration, so you know what happens when from ideation to delivery.
Here is some of what you will learn: how to structure a project timeline and its main steps, how to ideate with an AI copilot without outsourcing your taste, how to decide what belongs in 2D vs. 3D vs. AI, how to use contact sheets and culling to pick your best options, and how to automate parts of your postprocessing.
From The Ground Up is my 9‑Diamond course on composition, the creative process and the business of making images that actually matter, and a couple of lessons from Diamond 9 – Process Optimization are available for free so you can preview the workflow before adopting it in full.
