This one-day introductory course equips delegates with essential Adobe Photoshop skills for manipulating and enhancing digital images. Through hands-on activities and practical exercises, participants will learn to navigate the interface, make and refine selections, work with layers and adjustment layers, perform colour correction and retouching, insert and manipulate graphics, and use keyboard shortcuts to improve workflow efficiency.
Ever feel like your images could look so much better — if only you knew how to use Photoshop properly?
This one-day course gives you the confidence to transform your photos — fast. You’ll learn to navigate the interface with ease, make precise selections, and use layers and adjustment layers to edit non-destructively. You’ll correct colour, retouch imperfections, and insert graphics — all while building real workflow efficiency with keyboard shortcuts.
By the end of the day, you’ll be producing polished, professional results — whether for marketing, social media, or personal projects.
It’s a one day course, available as an open course, closed group session, or one to one coaching — and it counts towards six CPD hours.
