FAQ

Can I come to just one or two of the Masterclasses? Are they linked?
There are some links, but I will provide a short set of summary notes if you did not come to a previous session so you will still be able to follow.

What happens if I pay for all three sessions but later find that I'm busy?
If you miss one session, I can go through the content with you at a time and location convenient to both of us. Otherwise, you will be able to use your ticket for the next round of Masterclasses that will be held in August.

What if I don't have Photoshop?
You can download a free 7-day trial of the latest version of Photoshop here or a 30-day trial of Photoshop CS6 here. You can purchase Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom for HK$68/month here.
