A basic two session, 2 hour photoshop workshop for photographers and photo editors who are new to or unfamiliar with photo editing software. This workshop uses a similar, free alternative to photoshop called Photopea, that has much of the same tools and interface as the real thing. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to use basic photo editing techniques, as well as prepare their photographs for printing.

The first session will be a step by step tutorial, where all participants will be given a sample image to edit alongside the instructor.

In the second session, participants will be encouraged to edit their own photo using the tools they learned–or, they can pick and edit more sample photos to keep practicing.
