I am currently offering the following modules around the subject of Layers in Photoshop. Each module costs £40 and can be for between 1 to 5 people (so for example for 4 people it would be £10 each.) I have 4 computers available but if you have a laptop you may prefer to use it. Each session is made up of 2 one hour lessons and a half hour "working break". If you would like to arrange a session please contact me.
