Kevin is a brilliant Photoshop tutor. His knowledge of the software and process used to get the most out of the package is second-t0-none (what he doesn't know about this package, is probably not worth knowing!). In a very short period of time he explained to me about transparency, curves and median blending - all of which i use very frequently now. He has a brilliant way of explaining the technology and processes and can show you how to achieve any particular visual effect by numerous examples.
Photoshop is a complex piece of software - so thank goodness for Kevan who was able to break it all down into easily understandable sections. His knowhow and and abilty to explain it in a way that makes sense is a benefit to anyone wishing to take their Photoshop skills to the next level.
I have been an amateur photographer for a number of years, and after becoming proficient with my camera I approached Kevan and asked for his assistance on getting to grips with Photoshop. Kevan proved to be an excellent teacher and was able to explain the most difficult of tasks in an easy to understand way. He showed great patience at all times and I can easly say that my editing skills have increased greatly thanks to Kevan.
