Onsite and Online Photoshop Training in Nottingham

We keep things simple. Instead of a generic classroom, we bring the training to you either onsite at your office in Nottingham or via a live, online session. This course is for people who want to stop guessing how to do something and start using Photoshop properly. We focus on the specific tasks you need to get done, working at your pace to make sure the basics actually stick.
 

What do you learn on a Photoshop Course?

The full Photoshop training course overview can be seen at the bottom of the screen but some of the things you’d cover:

  • The Essentials Getting started with workspaces, templates, and understanding the difference between print and web formats.
  • Mastering Layers Understanding how to stack, shuffle, and use Adjustment Layers (like Levels and Hue/Saturation) for a completely non-destructive workflow.
  • Selection & Retouching Professional techniques for selecting subjects, removing backgrounds, and handling tricky areas like hair using the Lasso and Object Selection tools.
  • The Power of AI Using the latest Adobe Firefly tools, Generative Fill, Expand, and Neural Filters to create or replace backgrounds in seconds.
  • Practical Workflows Mastering the Transform, Crop, and Warp tools to resize and resolution-match your images perfectly.
  • AI Transparency & Ethics We’ll look at Adobe’s ‘Content Credentials’ and the ethics of AI. I’ll show you how Adobe ensures their AI models are safe for commercial use and how to use the new Content Checker to maintain transparency in your work.

Who will benefit from this session?

This course is designed for individuals and teams needing to create professional visuals without the steep learning curve. Whether we meet onsite at your offices across Nottinghamshire or connect for a virtual online Photoshop session, we focus on the practical shortcuts that save you time.
 

It’s a great fit if you need to:

  • Clean up images: Quickly remove messy backgrounds or fix imperfections in headshots and product photos.
  • Prepare assets: Resize and format images so they look sharp on your website or in business documents.
  • Build for Social Media: Create “on-brand” graphics and layouts for Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook.
  • Standardise your workflow: Stop “guessing” and start using layers and masks the correct way.


Typically, on this intro course I work with:

  • Marketing Teams & Business Owners bringing their content creation in-house.
  • Absolute Beginners who find the software intimidating and want a jargon-free start.
  • Hobbyist Photographers looking for a simple, step-by-step guide to retouching.
  • Admin & PR Professionals who need to polish corporate assets quickly.

Adobe Lightroom Workshop for City College, Coventry

This was a very good course. 

I learnt all I needed and am confident using Lightroom now.

Photography Lecturer (Course Leader)

Extremely useful and a great learning opportunity where I learnt a huge amount of new tools and skills.

Photography Lecturer

An entertaining and very informative day that has given great insight into how Lightroom can be used.  

Further practice will be needed but I now know the capability, flexibility and how effective Lightroom can be.  

A very useful workshop.

The training course is focused entirely upon you and your company requirements and can be tailored to suit you.

We are happy to tailor any aspect of the Adobe Course content to suit you.

Lots of people prefer to break down their training into more managable smaller chunks. For online training we can split full days into half day sessions spread across a longer time period.

Please note we can offer 1 /2 days for online training sessions

Before starting Greta Powell Training in 2012, I worked in corporate training, primarily in London delivering Adobe courses to professional teams. That means you’re not getting just theory, but real, practical experience built up over many years.

My focus has always been on clear, structured teaching that helps people actually use tools like Adobe Photoshop confidently in their day-to-day work.

I’m also genuinely passionate about visual design. Whether it’s the colour of a maple leaf in autumn or the mood of the sea in winter, that interest feeds directly into how I teach helping people see and understand design, not just click through tools.
