Have you ever tried to fix a problem in Photoshop only to end up launching your laptop at the wall while foaming at the mouth? What you’re experiencing is a state that I call ‘ShopRage’.

Don’t feel bad about it. We’ve all been there, more than once. What you need is someone to guide you through the rage-inducing frustration of using Photoshop so that you can unleash its amazing potential for improving your own photography

Relax and breathe a sigh of relief because ‘Photoshop For Morons 2‘ is finally here.

There are just 50 copies left of my first book. Get your copy before it goes out of print forever.

I was inspired to create this online photography course after one of my students emailed me and asked “Gavin, can you just teach me Photoshop as if I was a complete moron?”. I knew immediately I had a great concept for a series of Photoshop tutorials that would help people overcome the many quirks and annoyances of Photoshop and get them beyond the usual roadblocks to understanding how it all works.

Hi Gavin, After attending both your Landscape for beginners and your Post Processing classes , I can honestly say both classes were fantastic. You are an awesome instructor. Your ability to instruct to students regardless of their ability is remarkable. I would highly recommend your classes to anyone wanting to improve their skills in photography and post processing. I am looking forward to taking future workshops with you. Judy

I travelled the 2 hours from Sidney for this workshop and yes, it’s a fantastic course which I highly recommend. Gavin is an excellent teacher and he gave generously of his experience and skills to everyone on the course. I learned several technical skills which I am very grateful for and which I believe will move me forward in the direction I wish to take my photography. Thank you Gavin, you are a real asset to the development of serious photography in this area and I will say so at every opportunity. Best. John McConnell. ( member of the Victoria Camera club)
