Students Are Saying...
"You are a magnificent teacher!!"
"Kevin has a gift for explaining and teaching photoshop. He is very methodical in his teaching style. This is the only photoshop class you should take!"
"Kevin does an amazing job of really thinking about the learning experience of his students. Our photoshop class was so hands on and we had many chances to repeat the skills we were learning with Kevin helping us along the way. There was so much to learn but Kevin broke it down in a very meaningful way. He is extremely knowledgeable and very patient. Photoshop is very complex but he sets you up to be successful in learning many very useful skills. I've taken a few other classes from him and I will definitely take more. Kevin's classes are enjoyable, friendly and well worth every penny."
"Photoshop is a complicated editing system that can be daunting to learn, but Kevin's class on Photoshop breaks down the most used elements of the program in a manner one can quickly understand. The hands-on learning and videos Kevin made on the photos we just edited is a wonderful reference to what we attempted to accomplish. Highly recommend this class if you are thinking of learning Photoshop or if your skills need polishing."
"Kevin is an excellent teacher!"
"The hands-on experience is great!"
"I really enjoyed the Photoshop class with Kevin. He was so patient with all of our questions and goof ups. He really wanted us to understand how much Photoshop can take our photography that much further and that it is a lot of fun to take creative leaps with it. I left his class with a much clearer understanding of how to use the tools and layers which were very confusing at first. Also, I know that if I hit a snag practicing with my new skills he would be happy to answer my questions." - A. Moates

Prerequisites
In order to take this workshop, you will need:
Bring your notebook computer with you with Adobe Photoshop CC (latest version) already installed.
I would recommend using a mouse instead of just a trackpad.
This is NOT a class on Adobe Photoshop ELEMENTS. Photoshop Elements is a completely different product with more limited editing capabilities. It is not the same thing as full Adobe Photoshop product!
Already have a basic understanding of your computer operating system, how to find files, open folders, launch programs
Are you using Windows or a Mac? No problem! Either is fine! Make sure you bring your power adapter for your computer. Also bring along some of your photos to edit.
Class Format
The workshop is presented in my studio in NW Austin. Class size is limited. Whether this is done as a weekday class or a weekend class, the course is 16 hours of Photoshop Learning!! Kevin will provide instruction, example images, and activities you can put into practice in class on your own computer.
Keep in Touch!
Once you have been a student of one of my classes, you are invited to future photographer social get-togethers at my studio (for free), such as our Potluck Slideshows. Also, as a former student, you are welcome to email me any time with any other photography questions.
