Photography Classes / Introduction to Photoshop
An Introduction to Photoshop
Photoshop is extraordinary software - and genuinely intimidating if you come to it cold. This class cuts through the complexity and gets you to the techniques that actually matter, fast.
Photoshop is a beast. It contains more than most photographers will ever need, and that can make it feel impossible to know where to start. This class does not try to cover all of it - we focus on the tools and techniques that genuinely improve images, explained clearly and then put straight into practice.
The class runs as two sessions of around two to two-and-a-half hours each, with a break for lunch between them. The first session is demonstration and explanation - we work through every topic together. The second session is yours: you apply what you have learned to your own images, with us on hand throughout.
The class can also be taught one-to-one, in person or via Zoom. Get in touch to discuss.
