Workshops & Downloads
Below are a selection of workshops to help members master the use of “Adobe Photoshop”. Click on the image links to read the workshop projects. At the bottom of each workshop page there will be a link for you to download a printable version. All the workshops have been created in “Adobe Photoshop CS 2”.
Please follow “Set Photoshop Display & Cursors” before you continue with any of the other workshops.
Please note that many of the Instructional Workshops on our website are based on using Photoshop CS2. Photoshop (and similar photo editing software) is regularly improved and updated, so it is impractical to keep revising these workshops. However, they do serve as illustrations on how to achieve various image adjustments. Minor differences in procedures may be required with more recent Photoshop programs. Specific guidance for other versions and packages can usually be found by a quick search on the Internet.
