Introduction to Photoshop Part 1

This one-day course - delivered in two half-day sessions - will provide all the essential skills needed by photographers to get started with Photoshop software. This software tool can be used to improve your digital photography images. The course will show how to use software effectively to:

• Organise your image collection - import, process, manage and display images
• Create a more efficient image workflow from camera to screen or print
• Perfect your photographs with a range of built-in tools to control brightness, contrast and crop images

All our courses are made up of elements of speaking & listening, reading and writing and you will work using these elements throughout the course. Some of the skills you gain on this course could help increase your opportunities for employment or working within the community. Learning takes place in a friendly classroom setting, which is a great place for social interaction and helping you meet new people. Practice at home and completion of homework is advisable to enhance your learning experience. 

You can see the tutor's work by using Google to find "Angela De Groot Photography" on Facebook.  

Most learners will have attended a previous digital photography class with us.

However, no formal qualifications are required to access this course and learners will make their own decision as to whether they are ready for it.

Your tutor will work with you to review your progress towards achieving your goals during the course. There is no qualification or examination attached to this course.

This workshop is suitable for beginners but is aimed primarily at the needs of digital photographers.

You will need a notebook, pen and A4 folder. Prior to the session your tutor may contact you regarding additional materials to bring if possible.

Following the successful completion of this course, your next learning step is: Introduction to Photoshop Step 2.
