Global Adjustments
Photoshop has the power to completely reinvent how you shoot. This course will start at the beginning and is great for someone who is completely brand new to the program. We’ll start by showing you the basics of the interface and how to make fundamental adjustments to colour, contrast and brightness.
Learn about Layers
Layering is a key component to using Photoshop efficiently and non-destructively. In this course, learn about different types of layers as well as how to organize and group them. Get started with layer masking to selectively edit your images.
Creative Projects to Get You Practicing:
The instructor will guide you on how to edit both landscapes as well as portraits. You’ll have the opportunity to practice on your own through creative editing assignments like fixing up an old photograph or doing a double exposure.

Do I need prior training or experience?
For the introductory courses (Photo 101) and photo tours, no prior training is required. More advanced courses such as Photo 201 and our workshops, do require prior experience as they build on basic techniques taught in Photo 101. If you have some prior knowledge or experience and not sure if you need some of the prerequisites, give us a call and talk to an instructor today!
Do I get more instruction in the in-class Weekend Boot Camp or the 4 week program?
All of our programs include the exact same lecture / workshop material. You will not get any more or less in any of the sessions. We design our courses and workshops so that we equip all our students with the knowledge they need! You just select the class type that works best for your schedule. Leave everything else with us!
