I'm thinking of getting together 8 members to attend a 2-hour Photoshop Intro tutorial - it will assume you know basics, but will get into colour management, layers, adjustments etc.

I'll try to arrange an training room in my Company offices in the valley in Brisbane for a mid-week date in Februray some time

You'll need your own laptops.

I know I'll attend as a trainee, and i know who the trainer will be (a professional photoshop tutor friend of mine)

There will be a cost, probably around $40

Can you register your interest here so I can se if it's something that is worth pursuing ???

Hi Kiwi,
I'd certainly be interested, being "self taught" it would be good to finally know the right way to do it...:rolleyes:
A LR3 session could be good to?!

Cheers

Will I need to load up CS5 to the Mac Book?

kiwi
28-01-2011, 9:54pm
Yeah, I guess you will.

I understand it does not matter if you use elements, cs2, cs3, 4 or 5 really. Concepts the same.

davearnold
28-01-2011, 10:08pm
I would be very interested if I knew when, as doing a lot of night shifts at the moment, but with enough notice, could maybe do a shift swap.

kadon
28-01-2011, 10:09pm
That sounds great.
Count me in, although I haven't been into the Valley at night for I don't know how long!
If its a Tuesday night might be interesting having to leave my boss in the lurch & run out (just work back every fortnight..... darn patients who what to see him after 5pm)

kiwi
28-01-2011, 10:16pm
OK, I'll put a date (subject to change of Tuesday 1st March) just to let people start planning ahead

davearnold
28-01-2011, 10:22pm
Ok, that should be far enough away for me to organise to finish and be in the valley beofre 6.00.

kadon
28-01-2011, 10:25pm
Ummm okay that happens to be "that" fortnight Tuesday.... lol.... oh well at least I have time to prepare him or better still change patient's bookings....lol

kiwi
28-01-2011, 10:36pm
Ill try to confirm the date with the tutor and see whether its OK to get the room to use early next week...so...please just wait a few days to make any changes.

Kiwi, would you like to offer my spot to one of the waiting list people. I have a specialists appointment in the city in the afternoon, and I am not sure that I am going to get out of there in time to get home and back again. If my spot does not get filled, then I will attempt to make it , even if I am late,so that you are not left short though.
Put me on the waiting list for any future ones.

Www.damiensymonds.com.au

Remember bring your own laptop, installed preferably with ps or elements, some of your own raw files would be good too

I'll say a 6.2

You can round that down if you wish:D

3 - 4 for me, same as Wobbles, mainly use LR3

dbose
18-03-2011, 11:24am
I'd say I am between 5 and 6 (i.e. I work with layers and masks and do know how they work but most of the times unsure how much adjustment like curves/level is ideal for a shot). Also would be keen to know a bit about photo stitching (for pano) and photo stacking (for star trails) if time permits.

andylo
18-03-2011, 11:51am
dbose :) Please understand I am not trying to be rude, but as far as I concern it is a RAW photo processing, not necessary a Photoshop tutorial, so I suppose photo stitching and stacking would be another tutorial altogether?

kiwi
19-03-2011, 11:23am
There will not be stitching etc covered, the tutorial is about the raw workflow, white balance, levels and curves, sharpening and intro to layers, we only have 2 hours so it will be high level really

kadon
20-03-2011, 10:33pm
Okay since my photoshop issues with raw I've now downloaded lightroom & only just playing with it.... so going to have to change my level to probably a ONE! lol
Kiwi let me know if this is going to be okay or if I need to step out & let someone else in, then please tell me.

This one really interested me but is difficult to attend from Tweed heads during the week for workers - any chance of followups on a weekend?

I know you have other things on your mind at the moment, but is there still a possibility of a second session?

I'm also interested in a session- I presume that is why such an old thread is still in place? Gail

We remove thread after a 2-3 years, so when you say still in place, everything stays on the site for quite a while, no matter if it hasn't been posted to in ages.
