Small Group Workshops - Live & Online

Designed Especially for Photographers

  • Are you ready to discover specific specialized cutting-edge features of Photoshop CC?  Now’s your chance to learn from John Watts - online, live, interactive, multi-session, and in a small group seminar-type setting.


  • These reasonably-priced Workshops start at $79, and are limited to 5 students ONLY - using images provided by the students!  


  • There's a different specialized Photoshop subject for each Workshop - Layer Masks, Finishing Touches, and more on the way ... All based on my Photoshop book.


  •  Includes copious notes & exercises, plus a recording from each session.  


  •  And you can be assured of privacy, since we're NOT sharing webcams - only our voices & my monitor.

Upcoming Small Group Workshops

 •  The Power of Layer Masks in Photoshop - Thursdays, March 16th, 23rd & 30th, 2023 - $99


 •  The Finishing Touches in Photoshop - Thursdays, April 13th & 20th, 2023 - $79


       Don't forget to also RSVP on Meetup.com (at the links above) to reserve your spot!

How it Works

  • There are UP TO THREE online group "Sessions" for each Workshop (depending on the subject).  Each "Session" is 1.5 hours in length - 


  • That's a total of up to 4.5 hours of personalized, "hands-on" group photoshop instruction, with only you, 4 other students, & myself - again, using images provided by the students, in a seminar-type format. ... 

_______________

  • You also have the option of  purchasing an additional ONE HOUR of  online "one-on-one" Instruction  at a discounted rate of $49 per hour, at a time of your choosing (after the group "Sessions" are completed) - using either your monitor and/or mine.

______________

  • The group "Sessions" are held on separate weekday early evenings
    (6 PM - 7:30 PM, PST), one week apart, over a period of up to 3 weeks.


  • Questions and interaction during the seminars are definitely encouraged, as we'll all be able to talk amongst each other - yay!  Remember, we're only sharing voices & my monitor.

 

  • On most Workshops, there will also be "exercises" available (with provided image files & a "cheat sheet") to speed up the learning curve - but completely at your pace.


  • Copious new notes beyond my Photoshop Book (required, see below) are included - - also includes a "Rough Cut" (no editing) video recording from each "session".


  • Can't attend live?  Not a problem - - since we're recording the sessions (AND I'll be providing copious notes), you'll still be able to take advantage of the instruction!

Requirements, Suggestions & Technical Details

Requirements & Suggestions

  • Required:  My current Photoshop Book ( PDF or Paperback), & at least 4 of your RAW files in advance (depending on the subject) ...

____________________


  • Suggested: A relatively current version of Photoshop CC.  Don't have Photoshop CC?Download here:  https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography.html 


  • Suggested:  If you're unsure if your computer system, audio, and internet are "up to the challenge", click here for a GoToMeeting "Self-Check" - (Google Browser recommended if you have problems). 


  • Suggested: So that you’re familiar with my teaching style & “system”, attendance at a few of my free live & online General Meetups before we meet is highly recommended - - OR, at a minimum, review some of the free "Photoshop 101" video recordings, especially Class 2, 3 and/or 4. 


  • Suggested - when we meet:  although it's not absolutely necessary, I'd suggest that you use at least earbuds (rather than your computers' speakers) for better sound quality & to avoid feedback issues. 


Technical Details

  • To all who RSVP:  A link to the syllabus, class notes, "how to join" link, receipt & more will be emailed out approximately 2 - 3 business days after you RSVP & make a payment.       


  • Questions and interaction during the seminars are definitely encouraged, as we'll all be able to talk amongst each other - yay!  Remember, we're only sharing voices & my monitor.       


  • If necessary, here are specific instructions on how to join these Small Group Workshops:

  • If you'd like to test your computer system's compatibility, please click here (Chrome Browser recommended):  https://support.goto.com/meeting/system-check  - - After System Check, be sure to click on “Join a Test Session” on the same screen to see that it all works, and give you an idea of how the interface works.  Problems?  GoToMeeting Technical Support: https://support.goto.com/meeting

Photoshop Workshops based on my Photoshop Book

"Your photoshop instruction classes are awesome and I'm amazed at what you can do with photos.   I cannot thank you enough for teaching this class. 


I’ve been self educating myself for the past year trying to find good information or tutorials on photoshop, and yours are the best!  I really enjoy all of your free General Meetup classes as well.  


These classes are great to get me on a schedule."     

Kris Stinson - Rockford, MI

___________

"If you want to advance your skills and knowledge in Photoshop, take one of John Watts’s Small  Group Workshops either on “Layers” or “Finishing Touches”.


I took both classes and I learned so much in a short amount of time. John made it easy to follow and fun to learn. I now have a good solid workflow for enhancing and improving my images.  


Many thanks John for sharing your expertise and your patience  in addressing all my Photoshop questions during and after class." 


Priscilla Monger - Poway, CA

"I'm so glad I found your free "Photoshop 101" classes on Meetup, because that led me to the "Finishing Touches" and "Layers" Small Group Workshops. 
Your teaching method is fun and easy to follow. I feel like a whole new world has opened up for me with Photoshop. 
Thank you!"
Cheryl Mata - Oceanside,  CA

______________

The 'Photoshop 101' classes and Small Group Workshops are such a great way to learn the processes.  


Thank you for your patience and always being willing to work on a problem with us.  


I have learned so much and have conquered my fear of learning Photoshop."


Mary Klauer - San Diego, CA

"Thanks, John. Just finished reviewing the session recording. It went very well. 


Your comments were some of the best I can recall and the discussion with the members very lively. And your droll sense of humor always appreciated. 


 It couldn’t have gone better!"


Patrick Christman - Fallbrook, CA

"Your class was very good. You are a well organized and logical instructor. While I am still processing the information I am confident through practice I will be able to master layers."    

Patricia Grabski - San Diego, CA

"Incredibly informative.  Watts is the place to learn!"
