It’s always your choice on our tailored Adobe Training Courses.

Who is this Photoshop Elements Training Course for?

This is an introduction to Photoshop Elements course so perfect for complete beginners or those with some knowledge who are looking to increase it for business reasons or personal photography projects.

Over the years we’ve worked with a huge number of clients from different sectors both public and private. Photoshop Elements is particularly popular with home users but is also used extensively in a professional capacity as well.

But to give you an idea we’ve hosted this Photoshop Elements Training Course for  educators, photographers, admin staff and HR departments amongst others. The course is designed for anyone looking to get a firm basic grasp of Photoshop Elements so is perfect for absolute beginners, or anyone looking to fill in existing gaps in their knowledge.

Our training sessions cover all aspects of Photoshop from importing/exporting photo’s, retouching and recolouring, layers, resizing and resolution etc.

We always work very closely with our clients from the start of their Photoshop training project through to the very end focusing totally on their learning needs and current ability with the software.

Absolutely, flexibility has always been our watchword at Greta Powell Training and you will find the course covers the tools, features and techniques needed to produce professional images for print, web and social media. 

Once the course is booked in we organise an online meeting via Teams /Zoom (your choice) and discuss both the content and organisation of the day. We are more than happy to work with your content and files to create a completely tailored Photoshop Elements training session or if you prefer we can always work with our collection of stock images.

Again absolutely yes. Your photo’s can come from virtually anywhere and can be edited in Elements software.

Our Online Photoshop Elements Training Course is held virtually with a live instructor and runs in video conferencing software of your choice including Zoom, Teams, Google or WebEx. 

Throughout your Elements training course you will have direct contact with your trainer via audio, video and screen sharing, everything is in real-time.

With live online courses you can learn from anywhere on the planet and speaking of planets one great big plus of an online Photoshop Elements Course is learning without travelling.

Online training courses reduce climate footprints, they save money and time plus making your personal environmental footprint lighter.

We are happy to record your training session at no extra cost  for you to refer back to after the training. Just mention at time of booking or to the trainer on the day.

All our digital design courses are available online. 

Yes they are, we offer them on a 24 /7 basis and are quite happy to deliver them in full or 1/2 day or hourly blocks both over the weekend and during the week.

Please get in touch to discuss this with us.

In brief you will learn how to work with existing photographs, enhance and retouch photographs and prepare your images for print /social media output. 

We start at the beginning by learning Elements environment and menus then move onto Tools and Panels to create and edit imagery.

The course is very flexible and hands on and because they’re private Adobe Training events fully customisable.

The list shown below is given as a basic outline and there is a far more comprehensive Photoshop Elements Course overview at the very bottom of this screen.

There are a number of benefits to onsite courses but the main ones are that the training focuses entirely on you and your company requirements.

As the trainer comes directly to you there is absolutely no travelling involved saving your travel and expenses.

Generally onsite training tends to be cheaper than traditional training.

We can offer full flexibility and tailor the course content around you and your company and at flexible dates and times to suit you.

Another Added Bonus, or two of Online Creative Cloud Courses:

An added bonus of our online courses is there’s no travel involved meaning less stress on the planet so environmentally it makes great sense.

No fighting traffic or public transport just get up, have tea /coffee, something to eat, turn on the computer and we’ll be there ready to deliver your course.

And by the way we don’t care if you’re wearing your Jim-Jams or last nights lop-sided party hat.
