Enhancing Photos for Complete Beginners

‘I want to improve my photos. I’ve looked at one or two programs like Photoshop but all of them are just a confusing mass of buttons. Where do I even begin to understand what to do?’

If you’ve asked yourself anything like this question, then right here is where you start. This free course guides you through the basics of how to go about improving your photos. You will be guided by someone with 30+ years experience of using image editing software and I’ll show you the steps you need to take to make your photos shine. I’ll show you using programs like Photoshop Elements, Affinity Photo and Pixelmator because it’s all about the processes involved, not which buttons to press. I’ve selected techniques that you can apply to just about any image editing program so you have the flexibility to choose which software is right for you.

Ten videos at five minutes apiece, this course is designed to be as short as possible so you can pick up knowledge quickly. It has one simple aim; to get you over that first intimidating hurdle when faced with an image editing program that seems to offer endless possibilities but no way of understanding what to do with it. This course is the first steps course and is designed to follow naturally on to other courses I offer at Udemy for all the software you see here. It’s not a scattergun approach to learning – a Youtube tutorial here, a technique there. It’s a solid method of where to start, what to do next, and how to make your photos better than you ever thought they could be. See you on the course!
