This tutorial is based on some of Keith's digital photography courses that he teaches in local Adult Education centres. There are sample files in a zipped folder that you can download to try out for yourself.

Northlight Images also provides commercial photography training courses for businesses, including specialist Photography training for Estate Agents and for Product Photography.

The aim is that when you look at an image you can visualise what end result you want and choose the possible techniques to get there. This approach may not suit everyone, there is no magic checklist, no list of instructions to follow. In our links section there are many other sources of info - try them out and see which you like the best.

Photoshop Elements is a very powerful program, with many useful features. The tutorials on this site illustrate basic actions that you can take to improve many of your digital photos. Use the practice files and experiment with them.

Keith uses Photoshop CS for the images on this site, it is more complex than Elements, but many of the manipulations he carries out could be done just as well in Photoshop Elements. The courses use Elements 2, but you should be able to work through with the original version as well.
