The holidays are looming before us and Thanksgiving is lingering in our rearview mirror. With that in mind, we’d like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all KelbyOne mem- bers. Whether you’ve been with us since the early days, or you’re a brand-new member, we appreciate you! We wouldn’t be where we are today without each and every one of you. As we move forward, we’ll continue to work our hardest to provide you with the education and materi- als you desire and deserve to improve your craft.

KelbyOne Community
Inspiration, information, and member musings to fuel your creative think tank
By Rachel Scott and Dave Clayton
Kristina Sherk Visits
And since we’re a more of a show-and-tell kind of company, we thought it’d be appropriate if we showed our gratitude by giving all KelbyOne members a gift—a brand-new Creative Toolkit! This Creative Toolkit includes 20 Lightroom presets. To download your Creative Tool- kit, simply log into your KelbyOne account and go to the Toolkit tab on the left. There you’ll find the most recent Toolkit—Scott Kelby’s Lightroom Preset Pack, Volume #1.
But that’s not all! You probably noticed we have several placeholders on the Toolkit page. Because it’s the holiday season, we’re celebrating by giving you a new toolkit every day for the 12 days leading up to Christmas, so we highly recommend that you keep an eye on the Creative Toolkit page. Enjoy! Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to all of you from the entire KelbyOne team!
Also, we’d love to hear what you’re thankful for this holiday season. Is it family? Friends? KelbyOne? (Haha, kidding on that last one.) But in all seriousness, we want to know what’s near and dear to your hearts, so tweet it at us with this hashtag: #KB1thanks.
KelbyOne Studios
Guess who visited the KelbyOne studios recently. The one and only Shark Pixel—Kristina Sherk! Not only did she film an episode of The Grid while she was visiting, but Kris- tina also created a new course called Portrait Retouching in Adobe Lightroom CC!
We don’t want to give away everything that’s in her class, so let’s get back to that Kristina Sherk episode of The Grid! For those of you who missed it, just click on the play but- ton below. Kristina and Scott Kelby blind-critiqued portrait retouches on air, and during the critique, Kristina shared a ton of helpful tips such as making sure the hot spot (bright- est point) is on the model’s face, and never smooth out the skin so much that the skin texture disappears.
Don’t forget to watch Kristina’s latest course and make sure you tune in to The Grid every Wednesday at 4 p.m. EST. We also like to give away prizes during The Grid, so you’ll want to get in on all the goods!
Happy Holidays
