The course tutor is Martin Sproul of F-Stop Training.
Martin says: I am a professional photographer and trainer. Over the past eight years, I have organised and run photography workshops in Tuscany and Venice. I am a qualified Adobe Professional and an Adobe Creative Educator specialising in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. Additionally, I am a beta tester with DxO for the NIK Collection of plugins and PureRaw. My training courses are designed to clarify rather than confuse post-processing software and techniques.
