Joan and Clive will discuss in detail how to improve images, taking as examples some of the images used in the Battle. Joan will then give a tutorial on these images using Adobe Photoshop 2020, starting with showing how to set up the Photoshop Workspace and then work on the images to produce colour and B&W results
