Upcoming Classes

I teach classes several times a year at Photoworks in Glen Echo Park, Bethesda MD. I also offer private tutoring sessions for students who need schedule flexibility or have specific needs that are better handled in a 1-on-1 setting.

Glen Echo Photoworks

Go beyond Lightroom – Get into Photoshop

March 19 - April 30, 2025 (6 sessions, no class April 16)
7-9:30 pm Wednesdays
Tuition: $350

Take your best photos beyond what you can do in Lightroom. Learn advanced retouching, sharpening, tone control and color enhancements that can only be achieved in Photoshop. Class includes introduction to Photoshop basics and how to work from Lightroom to Photoshop and back.

What you will learn:

Advanced workflow: what can be done best in Lightroom and what to work on later in Photoshop.
Advanced retouching tools: Photoshop has a large suite of tools to handle difficult retouching problems.
How to remove color casts
How to subtly enhance the saturation of targeted colors or change them to a different color.
Advanced selection techniques to target tones or colors
Advanced sharpening: Photoshop’s sharpening is finer than what you can achieve in Lightroom.

This class will be held online via Zoom through Glen Echo Park. The sessions will be recorded and posted on YouTube so you can refer to them later. Students will also be given access to a large library of Google Docs which provide details on the techniques covered and reduce the need to take notes.

The class has a maximum capacity of 6 participants so that each student can receive one-on-one attention with their images.
