Photoshop Lessons in Your Home

Thursday, August 27, 2009 Posted in Classes

As you know, Photoshop has completely changed the way we process images. It’s the software (in my opinion) that sets you apart from the rest. Without Photoshop, my images would look dull and lifeless.

So, over the past 2 years, I have spent countless hours with tutors, on tutorials, and in books learning all the new tips and tricks to make my images POP. Now, I am extending my services to you through Skype.

Skype is a free program where you can make video calls over the internet. The COOLEST thing about Skype is that you can “share your screen”. That means that I can share my screen with you (and your screen with me) and I can show you exactly how I edit, and I can teach you some of the newest tricks on how to make your images stand out from other photographers in your area.

This is a great option if you are out of state, or simply too busy to meet face to face. I promise you…you won’t regret it.

Examples of what you will learn:

…How to make your photos vivid without compromising skin tones
