NEW Free Photoshop Resources

Written by Faye Binfield – 11.11.09

We’ve been running workshops on Photoshop since 2000 back when we were still all using Photoshop 6! Now we’re up to CS4 (and looking forward to CS5!) so we thought it was about time we made some of our knowledge available in the Free Resources section of the site.

So – check out our Photoshop Resources for a wide range of tutorials, tips, how-to’s and techniques.

If you’re in need of more in-depth tuition from an industry expert, we offer the following courses on a public basis here in Brighton:

• Beginners Photoshop Training
• Advanced Photoshop Training
• Web Graphics Photoshop Training

We can also arrange courses on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom privately.

If you’re interested in attending a course and would like to know which would suit you best, please feel free to call us on 01273 622272 or e-mail info@siliconbeachtraining.co.uk
