Course Description

'I've learned some of the Photoshop tools, but how do I actually enhance an image, start to finish?'

That was the question I saw asked on a Photoshop forum and I thought: 'Good point!' So here is a course designed with just that in mind. I take you through the development of a series of landscape photos, start to finish.

We usually start by adjusting a RAW file using the Adobe Camera RAW filter. Then we enhance the photo further in the main Photoshop workspace and go through every step needed to bring it to a final, polished state. Check out the free preview introduction video and see the files we start out with, and then see just how good we can make them by the end.

I'll take you through every stage and explain why we are doing things in a particular order. I've given you all the images used on the course to follow along with. I'll show you problems that can crop up and what do about them. Landscape image development brings its own set of problems and opportunities and the various techniques I guide you through take that fact into consideration.

This course assumes you have some basic knowledge of Photoshop but I'll also help you there. I've included the notes from 'The Craft of Photoshop: Solid Foundations' which can help to familiarise yourself with the tools we use.

As well as giving you a solid grounding in how to develop a landscape photo I'll cover various problems and issues that may arise in your work. We'll also cover things like High Dynamic Range images, stitching panoramic images together (clue - it's got more to do with what you do before you go into Photoshop...), converting images to black and white and how to easily and quickly create a few special effects. Oh, and there's the practice sessions as well...

By the end of the course you will have seen and followed along with a series of effective workflows, start to finish. You will gain the confidence to tackle your own images and one day soon you may well be looking at one of your own photos which you've enhanced, and thinking 'That looks fantastic! I did that...'

Really enjoyed this course. It’s taken me a while to get to it and I’m using an updated version of Photoshop than used in this course. However, and much to my surprise, I was able to figure out where everything referenced in this course was. And I’ve learnt a huge amount. The first full Photoshop course I’ve been able to complete! Very informative and interesting. A must for photographers who want to get the best out of their landscape pictures. Thank you so much.

The course gives an excellent insight on using Photoshop to greatly improve landscape photographs. The instructor is very knowledgible, expert and highly skilled in teaching this course, complete with an engaging manner and sense of humour.

I take every course Simon produces. I prevail on him to continue with new courses and updates. He is a professional. He has years of experience. He's patient and a great teacher/instructor. Great sense of humor. and consistant.

I have learned a lot from this course. I already was pretty proficient in photoshop, but I learned a bunch of new techniques that I am having fun with. Great course!

By David Fountain on 1/27/2021

This course does a great job demonstrating techniques to improve landscapes. It's amazing to see how much landscape photos can be improved using the techniques and following the guidelines presented in this course. The instructor does a great job.

I was a little overwhelmed, though I learned a lot. I know what are in my skills now and what to shoot for as I learn PS.

The exercise showing how to recover the dark image sunset scene was very interesting.

By Ali Boyacioglu on 5/19/2020

Thank you very much for the excellent course. The supplied amount and quality of images to try out the explained techniques is exemplary. Great sky replacement technique explained.

By Audrey Duperron on 3/23/2020

J'apprécie énormément la façon dont ce cours est structuré, et le niveau de détails. Il semble que nous allons apprendre à réellement programmer notre travail, ce qui est exactement ce que je recherchais. Simon parle anglais, bien sûr, mais il articule suffisamment et parle assez lentement pour permettre à toute personne non-anglophone de comprendre son cours (il faut bien sûr savoir parler anglais). Très contente, pour l'instant !

By Kiriaki Massoura on 12/2/2019

Exactly what I needed! Clear and it goes right the way through things from start to end which is what I've wanted for a long time
