Photoshop Classes

We held our first Photoshop classes on the weekend and they were fantastic!


A big THANK YOU to the girls from Point Shoot Play, who came down from Brissy to show us just how fantastic our photos can really be! The classes were very easy to follow and because they are hands on everyone found it easy to learn and a lot of fun!

The PSP girls will be a regular fixture at Seriously Scrapbooks over the coming months, but unfortunately we can only fit in a couple of classes a month and numbers are limited to 10 per class, so definately book in early if you are interested!!!

If you normally just take a photo, print it and scrap it then the Photoshop Basics 101 class is for you. You will learn how to convert photos to black & white or sepia, how to remove blemishes and wrinkles! and how to change most of a photo to black & white but keep some part in colour....now i'm sure you've all seen photos like this....where the gorgeous child is black & white with stunning big blue eyes or where the cheeks are just left a little pink etc. Or what about those photos that are just perfect - except for the stranger in the background or part of an arm or leg here and there....well just get rid of them! You will be amazed at how fabulous your photos can be and how easy it is!
Permission To Play is the intermediate level class. You will learn more about layers and selection tools. You will learn to move images between photos so if for example you want to add Uncle Joey to your family portrait, you can just add him in! You will also learn how to add decorative titles and text to your photos and how to install and use new brushes so that you can get really creative!
In July we will also be running a Photo Rescue class for your old or damaged photos and a Scrappy Divas class which will teach you more about fun effects that you can add to your photos like crowns, fairy wings etc among other thing. For more info on these classes check out the Point Shoot Play website.
