Photoshop Courses
This is a one day, One-to-One course designed for beginners upwards and lasts about 4 hours. There is a lot to learn if you are new to Photoshop, so the course can be taken in 2 parts if required. There is no additional cost for this apart from travelling charges outlined below.
The course can be taken in your own home on your machine or using a laptop that I can provide. Alternatively, at a venue of your choice or at my office.
The cost of travel up to a 25 mile radius of Bristol is included in the price. A small charge on a mileage basis will be added for longer journeys.

This course is for digital photographers who want to edit their images and would like to understand more of Photoshop’s capabilities. You will learn the correct way to use the application and some useful professional shortcuts, tips and tricks.
The course agenda is below but will always be tailored to your level of experience and your precise requirements.
It's fun and not that difficult, if someone shows you how!
