Calumet have launched the second DVD in their Imagemaker series of training programmes for UK photographers.

Photoshop Basics: I can do that (£14.99) developed by acclaimed Welsh Photoshop guru David Rowley, is aimed at photographers with little or no knowledge of image editing and manipulation techniques.

But this video tutorial turns the challenge into a pleasure. This is easy to understand, step by step training with tutorials that include; Camera RAW, Keyboard Shortcuts, Layer Adjustments, Selective Sharpening, Hot Montage, Film Frame Effect, Black and White Blending, Eye Sharpening and Correcting Perspective Techniques.”

He added: “It’s great to link with Calumet who are working very hard to offer their customers added value with their groundbreaking ImageMaker series of training DVDs.”
