Photoshop

with Sam Bland

This course is aimed at photographers who wish to explore the creative possibilities offered by Adobe Photoshop. Many people are intimidated by the enormous power and sophistication of this amazing tool. In practice though, once you have learnt the basics in each area, it reveals itself as an intuitive, ingenious and fun programme to learn, whether you just want to make simple edits and corrections to optimise your images for beautiful prints, or get really creative and tell some photographic fibs! Areas covered will include: the tools, general image adjustments, strategy and sequence for retouching, selections, layers and masks, colour spaces and calibration, printing, and more.

The basics will be covered, so complete beginners are very welcome, but students should feel comfortable at a computer, and be able to use a mouse, keyboard, and understand basic menus etc.

Sam is a former English teacher who has been using Photoshop for six years, and professionally for the last three. He is also the designer of the Evolution brochure. He particularly loves demonstrating Photoshop’s ingeniousness to others.
