Whether you are into digital photography, painting, scrapbooking or any visual art, the chances are that you have a need to get a basic understanding of the world famous digital imaging software Adobe Photoshop.

 

This is an introductory + workshop. Skills discovered here can be applied to any visual art and particularly to photography, graphic design, photo restoration and digital scrapbooking. If students are interested we will also take a short look at how Photoshop can be incorporated in the Digital Workflow for photographers using Lightroom.

 

This course assumes no previous Photoshop experience or understanding. This is a course tailored for the beginner or anyone who have had a little play and given in frustration. To get everybody started some basic exercises with notes will be provided several days before the workshop date. You will be asked to complete these beforehand. I will, of course, be available on the phone and Skype to resolve any issues.

This workshop will clear the fog and will provide a great foundation for your own experiments.
