One-On-One Photoshop Training Courses
The digital revolution has made photography much easier, but in many ways more difficult. A keen photographer needs to be an expert with their computer and software as much as with their camera and lenses.
Adobe Photoshop is the unquestioned world-leading image software. Every photographer needs the awesome power of Photoshop. But it's extremely daunting and confusing for the new user.
There's a wealth of Photoshop resources available. Many books have been published, and many websites offer tutorials and tips. But most of them require a basic understanding of Photoshop in order to benefit from their tuition.
We can teach you the vital Photoshop skills to get you up and running. Photographers of Brisbane - take control of your images!
Overview of Training Modules
Each of these modules costs $60 and takes about an hour to complete. We come to your house and teach you one-on-one, so you can ask as many questions as you like, and benefit from our expertise. What amazing value!
These modules should not be learned all at once. We recommend taking two or three modules per session*, with at least two weeks' practice time in between.
You may customise the training to suit your needs. For example, if you feel you have a sound understanding of the basic principles of digital imaging, and your workflow is well established, you can skip Modules 1 and 2, and begin from Module 3.
Or, if you take the first three modules, and are happy to make your own way forward from there, there is absolutely no obligation to take the remaining modules.
