ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS COURSES

If you take a variety of shots, from friends and family to holidays, this workshop is ideal for you.  (If you are a portrait or wedding photographer you may prefer our Elements 3 Wedding and Portrait workshop).

 

2.  Creative

What you will learn:

  • During the course of the day, you will be introduced to Photoshop Elements’ layers and use them to make adjustments to images’ exposure and colour balance. 

  • In addition, you will use Adjustment Layers to fine tune very specific areas of an image without making any alterations to the underlying image itself.  

  • We will also use Layers to produce collages, or composite images and then use the Transform commands rotate, adjust image perspective and image size. 

  • Blending modes are also introduced to allow image layers to be merged for more seamless blending of underlying layers.
  • For the more Creative, we will remove bland white skies from images and replace them with more dramatic blue skies and impressive cloud formations.
  • Adjustment Layers can also be used to selectively tone images, thus allowing coloured areas to show through in monochrome or sepia toned images.

REVIEWS

Many thanks for the excellent course. A pleasure as always. I now feel that I can use the features and in particular 'Layers' that were explained and demonstrated with confidence. I have circa 400 pictures that I can now review and edit with confidence with of course binning the ones not to standard.  I would also like to thank you for the all the other information given.
