An Introduction to Digital Photo Editingย 

Ever wanted to learn how to make changes to pictures you’ve taken with your digital camera or smartphone?

This online workshop was brought to you live, in partnership with Wirral Libraries. They asked Mako Create to deliver a fun interactive live workshop, introducing the world of digital photo editing to their visitors and beyond.

This is the perfect introduction workshop for anyone who is interested in photography and digital photo manipulation. During this video, you will be given a crash course on how you can use FREE online photo editing software to make changes such as cropping, rotating, scaling and touching up your digital pictures.

Participants will learn how to take an image directly from their camera and turn it into something that is ready to share with the world.
