This course is an ideal continuation once you have mastered the principles taught on “The Essentials” course. You will be shown various advanced techniques that are used on a daily basis by professional photographers. These will lift your skills to a new level, and you will learn the ultimate in image control and manipulation. You will be taught to manipulate and correct colour casts, as well as enhance the mood in a photograph. You will also learn how to manage high contrast photographs and how to get the most out of RAW files.

This part time Photoshop course is presented on one evening a week over five consecutive weeks. The class is limited to ten students, each with their own workstation and there will always be two lecturers on hand to assist you. You will be given an extensive workbook and a CD containing a trial version of the latest Photoshop® software (if you don’t already have it), as well as the images used on the course so you can practise at home.

Please note - to do the course at any of our campuses, you need to have your own laptop. A limited number of desktop PC's are available at only the Saxonwold Campus, but it is recommended that you bring your own laptop if possible.

Please note, to do this course you need to have completed the "Basic Photoshop - The Essentials" course.
