Photoshop Retouching Training

 

INTRO

I absolutely love training people and passing on as much knowledge as I can possibly squeeze into a session.

The retouching training is completely bespoke to you and the level you're at (so don't worry if you're a complete beginner).  Sessions are in person, or via Zoom/Skype, where we can retouch images I've taken in the past or we can retouch any of your images.  Whichever you decide, I'll ensure you walk away bursting with new knowledge.

 

Topics on offer

  • Basics to Advanced : Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop

  • Using a graphics tablet

  • Initial image processing

  • General digital clean-up

  • Skin and hair retouching

  • Compositing and cutting-out

  • Colour grading

  • Special effects

  • Finishing touches

  • Sharpening techniques

  • Perfecting output for print and web

 

It's £50/hour for 1:1 training, and all you need to bring is yourself, a notepad or laptop, your own images you'd like us to work through (optional), and I'll provide the rest (plus lunch + refreshments for any bookings over 4 hours).

For anyone who likes to train from the comfort of their own home, I can also offer 'watch and follow' screen-share training via Zoom or Skype.

If you are a photography club, or organisation, in need of bespoke group training, please do get in touch.

What People Are Saying

 

“I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for Saturday's workshop. I learned so much, particularly in the retouching process advice section, and had an absolute blast while doing so. I think I probably need a bit more practise setting up lighting as quickly and effectively as you did, but fingers crossed that should come with a bit more time and experience!”

“Just to say thanks for spending time with me on Monday. Very informative and inspiring. You certainly gave me a lot to be going on with.  

Katy phoned as soon as I got home, so I was able to give her a glowing report.”

— Martin D

“I just wanted to email again to say a huge THANK YOU for an incredible day yesterday...I am so so glad I went ahead with the training!!

I genuinely feel I’ve gone from basic Photoshop to advanced level, and now I’m feeling confident I can take on the more serious retouching jobs. So thank you.”
