This Friday, 19 July, Calvin will lead a workshop about using layers in Photoshop. The workshop will be informal and interactive with demonstrations, explanations and discussions. You might find it useful to take a pen and notebook to jot down information to use later. 

Then on 26 July there will a second Photoshop on masks.

Both these workshops will be free to members and Tea and biscuits will be available to buy. This is your chance to get to grips with basic concepts of Photoshop and become a more proficient user. There are a number of tutorials on the club website https://wrekinartspc.com/useful-tutorials covering a wide range of photography topics that you may find useful.

The season will finish after the Photoshop Workshop on 26 July. The club room will be closed over the summer but there might be practical workshops arranged. I will send out information when available or you can keep an eye on the website.
