One-on-one Photoshop tutorials are something I have done with photographers since 1993. I like working individually with people so I can focus directly on the issues you need help with. We will work with your own photos, scanning film if necesasary. You should have a basic understanding of the tools in the program. We will look specifically at image adjustments for color, contrast, etc. with an emphasis on understanding Adjustment Layers and Layer Masks, and making accurate selections. Everything is geared to making an excellent print of your work, and you will take home at least one finished piece.
Workshops are scheduled at our mutual convenience and can be in the evening, if you desire. They are in two parts, each for 90 miuntes and the complete cost is $195. If you wish to invite a second person to take part, the total cost for the two of you will be $350. Please contact me personally for more details.
