What photographers say about this course
I wanted some one to improve my knowledge and ability to use Adobe Photoshop for my photography. Greta absolutely met and exceeded my expectations. She listened to what I wanted, tailored the learning to my needs and also realised what I didn’t know so shared with me the use of Adobe Express for uploading to Insta and Pinterest which was fantastic. Great value for money and so much better than watching countless hours of YouTube content.

Greta created a nice relaxed environment and gave a great demonstration. She then encouraged me to learn by doing and have a go. This helped embed my learning. I have made a quick improvement in my skills, and overcome the frustration I was feeling without Greta’s help.”

Bespoke Photoshop & Lightroom Training
Bespoke Photoshop and Lightroom Training courses are popular with because while both individually ‘enhance, retouch and repair’ photos in their individual ways when used together they provided the perfect post processing workflow.
Lightrooms major strength and not one to be under-estimated for anyone dealing with a high volume of photographs is its ability to organise visual data for cataloguing and filing plus global adjustments (light /colour) for whole complilations whereas Photoshop offers pixel level editing with advanced retouching and compositing tools.
Both of these have a non-destructive workflow which is followed on all our Photoshop classess to keep original files intact.
