Good event. Good ideas about the technical use of Photoshop. The multiple versions of PS and the variety of different skills of the students can make the class challenging for the instructor. However Jackie was great providing individual advice for the circumstances of each student.

Great advice, I was so nervous that I forgot some of my basics but Peter didn't mind at all. He was patient and after 10minutes I had my confidence and got great results. I would happily do another course with Peter.

Locations are easy to find. Instructor is very helpful and gives one-on-one time to explain the process, help with camera settings and extra tips for the technique of the workshop. Extra links sent via email are a great reference for future photoshoots. Meeting other like minded attendees in this kind of setting is ideal. I come away from each meetup learning something new!

Both hubby and I really enjoyed the experience. Despite being a windy day it didn't take away from several pleasant hours of learning new tips, techniques and ideas, thanks to Ijumma. Being a small, supportive group really helped too. We completed this session feeling inspired and ready to test out our new found skills.

Really enjoyed it - although I got very cold by the end! Tutor was very helpful, personable and knowledgeable. My aim was to use 'manual' and I did, with his guidance, and came home with some very encouraging images.
