After many requests from students and photographers, “IMAGINE STUDIOS” have introduced
this instructional course to enable you to get more from your digital editing software.



Based on the “ADOBE Photoshop” creative suite software that is the industry standard for photographers,
participants will be instructed in basic to advanced image manipulation and work flow techniques.


The course will be suitable for those with little or no experience with “Photoshop” up to intermediate users.

We will be concentrating on the most useful information and techniques
for the average portrait and landscape photographer however many of the
skills learned will apply to any area of digital image manipulation.


A digital projector and large screen will be used to demonstrate the techniques
and students will be given relevant notes to take home for future reference.
