Digi: Brushes Introduction is running tonight! Click Here to book a place.

Due to the poor weather conditions, we have postponed tonights Digi: Brushes Introduction class until February 17th. If you can join us on the 17th book now to grab your place. I’m really looking forward to this class as brushes are such a great tool once you know the tricks!

We’ve just added 2 new digi classes to the calendar. The first is Digi: Brushes Introduction. Brushes are one of the most versatile tools in Photoshop Elements, and we’ll be covering all of the basics during the two-hour session to start you getting the most out of this fantastic tool.

The second is Digi: Sampler Layout. This class builds on Digi: Photo Editing Tricks, and Digi: Brushes Introduction to create a Digital Layout.

Digi: Sampler Layout

Just a quick note to say we’ve got a few places left on our Photo Editing Tricks Class on Sunday.

In this all day class we’ll teach you the basics of Photoshop Elements, explain how (and why) it does certain things, and show you how to create photo effects including vignettes, colour popping (spot colour photos), correcting colour, and converting to black and white.

We’ll also show you how to resize photos, and prepare them for printing at home.

It’s a great beginners class, the tools and techniques we show you are the core of using Photoshop Elements. A great starter to digital scrapbooking, and just as useful for paper and hybrid scrappers.

Grab your laptop and join us…

If you are interested in joining us at any of our Digi Classes, we recommend starting with this class to learn the basics that won’t be covered in shorter sessions.

We’ve had a lot of interest in our Digi Classes that we’re running, so I thought I’d post a few details here.

Photo Editing Tricks Class

• For the Photo Editing Tricks class we will be using Photoshop Elements. I personally use a Mac so that’s what I know, but there is not a lot of difference beteen the Mac and pc versions so if you use a pc it’s not a problem.
• We do not assume ANY knowledge of Photoshop Elements or Photoshop in the Photo Editing Tricks class. We literally start at the beginning which is one of the reasons why it is an all day session. We lay down really strong foundations for you to build on.
• We do ask that you have Photoshop Elements installed when you arrive. If you do not already have it there are a few options. Computer Tricks for Scrapbooking 2 has a free demo disc included. This would also be a great resource to have at home for after the class to jog your memory about things. You can also download a 30 day trial from the Adobe website.
• We can set up desktop machines as well as laptops if you need to bring your desktop.
• You will get the chance to work on some of your own photographs.
• The class starts at 10am, and runs until about 4pm. We do include lunch, and yes, you can shop in the shop during the lunch break.
• Spaces are limited in this class as we need to make sure everyone has space, and power! Please book early to guarantee your place.

Not Sure?

Not sure if you really want to do digi? Neither are we! There’s no need to abandon paper scrapbooking, and this class focusses on editing your photos, so that you can get them printed off and use them for anything. Not sure if you want to buy Photoshop Elements? Download a 30-day trial from the Adobe website, and use that during the class, you can make the decision afterwards if you like it.

Digi: My First Layout

Digi: My First Layout Class

• We ask that you attend Photo Editing Tricks first to ensure that you know the tools and techniques that we will use in this class. As it is only a 2-hour session we won’t have time to cover the basics and finish the page.
• We will be using Photoshop Elements. I personally use a Mac so that’s what I know, but there is not a lot of difference beteen the Mac and pc versions so if you use a pc it’s not a problem. If you have Photoshop, the application will look different but you should still be able to follow the class.
• We do ask that you have your software installed when you arrive.
• You can complete the class in a number of different colourways, we have background ‘papers’ available in pink, blue, green and orange.
• We can set up desktop machines as well as laptops if you need to bring your desktop.
• Spaces are limited in this class as we need to make sure everyone has space, and power! Please book early to guarantee your place.
