This presentation with Andrew Haysom will help you understand how layers work in Photoshop and why they are so useful. Andrew will demonstrate using the current version of PS.

Andrew is a retired IT manager, married to Adrienne with two grown children, Chris & Kate. He is a self-taught photographer, Photoshop junkie and digital artist.

Andrew will try, and enjoys, just about any genre of photography but his first love is shoo+ng wildlife, mainly birds. He lives close by one of Melbourne’s best birding areas (Woodlands Historic Park) and you’ll find me there often. The thing he loves most about this is even on the days you don’t any great photos, you’ve still been out enjoying nature. The other place Andrew loves to be is on a beach somewhere.

Andrew’s second photographic obsession is Melbourne’s street art. This is more about creating a photographic record of what can be a very transient and short-lived medium. He has collected approximately 6,000 images of Melbourne street art and recorded these in a 22-volume (so far) photo book series.

Andrew is also a self-described Photoshop junkie and has been a member of a digital artists group for many years. They publish a digital art magazine every month, and as well as his art being featured, he writes a monthly Photoshop article for the magazine.

Andrew has been a member of Craigieburn Camera Club for many years and has run Beginners Photography and Photoshop classes for members. Andrew has judged photography competitions for both Milton-Ulladulla and Narooma Camera Clubs over the last 6 years.
