Club Programme 2009/10

Photoshop Sessions - Please note that having run basic sessions for the last two years the digital evenings in this year’s programme are aimed at more advanced users.

• Digital Nights - these are the next step on from the basic Photoshop sessions and designed for those already familiar with using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements for basic editing, they will cover the use of more advanced tools.
