About this event

Event lasts 3 hours

This is the perfect class for you if you want to start restoring old photos, especially if you have old slides and prints that need to be sorted and fixed.

Over three hours, we show you how to digitise old family photos using inexpensive scanners and restore the images using software such as Photoshop Elements.

We suggest you bring a laptop as the class is practical, and sample images will be supplied to practice within your own time.

The class is perfect for Family History fans.

The course covers

Choosing and using scanners
Scanning Slides and Photographs (the correct settings)
Fixing the damage, such as scratches using software
Restoring colours from faded images
Colourising Black and White Images.
Making Slideshows from the images

The class uses Photoshop Elements for the restoring section, and we suggest you have at least a trial version of the software loaded on your laptop.

Alwyn Hanson-Alwyns Photo School Melbourne

I have had years of experience working with students from 9 to 99 years. I have been working in Photography for over 30 years and recently I completed 10 years running photography courses at Michaels media school in Melbourne's CBD.

I am a working photography teacher who can help you take great images with your own camera.

My belief is to teach photography classes with "less physics, more photos."

Why Alwyns Photo School is different.

We believe in working WITH all the special features on the camera,NOT turning them all off and going manual. The camera companies have spent millions in development, so why reinvent the wheel. We can teach YOU how to take great photos on YOUR own digital camera.
