I recently got into extreme macro photography. I watched a number of Allan Walls videos and they were a great help, but I still have a lot to learn. In particular, I'm using various alternative programs to the ones that Allan recommends (Gimp, Helicon, etc.) I would like to learn to use his recommended programs (LS, Photoshop, Zerenes, etc.) and, at the same time, improve my techniques. The problem, of course, is that Allan has a bewildering number of videos. Can someone recommend which of his videos I should watch first and in what order to make the best progress?
Not really. Sorry.
But I would recommend tuning in for his livestreams. There's a Tuesday (as in "later today") session at 9:00 eastern and a Thursday session at 3:00 eastern (20:00 GMT) which is a friendlier time for those on the right hand side of the pond.
I would also recommend you sign up for the FAS (free and awesome) site https://photomacrography.net/
It's not only got a ton of serious macro shooters, but Rik Littlefield, the author of Zerene, hangs around there.
Thanks!
You're welcome.

The term "mirrorless" is totally obsolete. It's time we call out EVIL for what it is. (Or, if you can't handle "Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens" then Frenchify it and call it "LIVE" for "Lens Interchangeable, Viewfinder Electronic" or "Viseur électronique").
