What you'll be able to do
From the laptop to the sofa — finished edits before the kettle boils.
Most photographers still think editing means a desktop, a mouse, and a sit-down session. This course shows you the workflow the tablet generation already uses — ten apps you can pick from, the same core editing principles across all of them, and finished photographs you're happy to share.
Ten apps, one set of principles.
Lightroom Mobile, Snapseed, Affinity Photo, VSCO, Darkroom, PhotoFox, Polarr, Pixaloop, Quickshot Pro, Photoshop Mobile. We cover what's the same across all of them — so you pick the app that suits you.
Histograms and white balance, demystified.
Read your histogram, balance your colours, and keep your edits looking natural — not over-cooked. The bits of the editing toolkit most beginners skip past because nobody bothered to explain them.
Every slider, demystified.
Brightness, contrast, shadows, highlights, exposure, clarity, vibrance, saturation. What each one actually does — and how to use them well across every app on the course.
Healing, cropping, exporting — properly.
Retouch the distractions out, crop and reframe with purpose, and export at the right size and quality for whatever you're doing next — sharing online, printing, or building a portfolio.
An afternoon in — the workflow is yours.
The whole course is about three hours of video. By the end of an afternoon you've got a usable mobile editing workflow you can take into your phone too. No tech-savvy required.

Inside the course
Ten apps, three thematic parts.

The course trailer
Watch a quick look at what's inside.
A short trailer giving an overview of the course — what you'll learn, who you'll learn from, and the kind of photographs members are making.
Your tutor
A working photographer who actually edits this way.
Emily teaches every module of this course herself — the same working photographer whose tablet-first workflow you're about to learn.
Emily Lowrey
Course Instructor
Professional wedding, travel and astrophotography photographer, Panasonic ambassador, and the camera behind many of iPhotography's course recordings. A few years ago Emily swapped her laptop for a lightweight tablet on every shoot — this course is the workflow that came out of it, written from the inside.
The Member's Photo Gallery
Share your edits. Swap notes. Make friends.
The Member's Photo Gallery is where the club hangs out. Upload your finished edits straight from your tablet, see what other members are working on, leave comments, take part in the Weekend Challenge. Tutors drop in regularly to comment on photographs that catch their eye.
Try the technique
After each app walkthrough, open one of your own photographs and have a go. Bite-sized, doable, on your own files — not busywork.
Upload your edit
Export from the app straight into the Member's Photo Gallery. Friendly, private to members, no public scroll.
See what the room thinks
Members comment on each other's work — honest, encouraging, sometimes brutally helpful. Tutors join in regularly too.
Pass it on
Comment on other members' work, ask questions, take part in the Weekend Challenge. This is where the friendships start.

"The course was so easy to follow. The tutors are friendly, knowledgeable and really helpful with feedback. I've gone from being scared of my camera to actually loving the time I spend with it."

"I've tried a lot of online courses. This is the only one where a real person replied to my photographs. It changed how I shoot, but more importantly it changed how I look at things."

"Best money I've spent on my hobby. The modules are clear, the feedback is genuine, and the gallery is the friendliest corner of the internet I've found."

"I was nervous about being the oldest one in the group. Turns out everyone here is welcoming, and the tutors don't talk down to anyone. I'm finally taking photographs I'm proud of."

"Stephen's feedback on my landscape photograph was the most useful 200 words I've ever read about my photography. Worth the cost of the whole course on its own."

"I took the course over a long winter. By the spring I was photographing things I'd walked past for thirty years and never noticed. That's the real gift."

We've been teaching photography since 2012. We know the course works — but you don't have to take our word for it. Join, take the first few modules, share a photo in the gallery, and if it doesn't click, email us within 30 days and we'll refund the lot. No hard feelings.
Common questions
The things people usually ask us first.
Do I need an iPad, or can I use an Android tablet?
Both work. The course was recorded on an iPad, but most of the apps we cover have identical Android versions — the buttons sit in slightly different places, but the principles and workflow are the same. A handful of apps are iPad-only; we'll flag those as we go. Phones work too, though a tablet's bigger screen makes the slider work much easier on the eyes.
Do I need to buy a load of apps to take this course?
No. The point of the course is to show you the key features that are standard across most photo-editing apps, so you can pick whichever one suits your phone, your wallet, or the kind of editing you want to do. Most of the apps we cover have a free or freemium tier that's plenty to follow along with. Lightroom Mobile is the deepest dive on the course — Adobe's free version covers most of what we teach; the paid tier unlocks a few extras (Healing, Selective, Curves) we walk through as well.
How long do I have access to the course?
For as long as your account is kept active. No expiry, no resubscription, no "course access window". The modules, the gallery, the bonuses, and the certificate stay with you.
Is there support if I get stuck?
Yes. This isn't an assignment-based course, so there's no formal tutor review of submitted work — but you'll have access to tutor help and our private feedback gallery, where you can ask questions and get advice from the team and the wider community. Tutors drop in regularly, members swap honest comments, and PLUS+ members get priority and enhanced tutor feedback on their gallery uploads as part of their subscription.
What are Community Points and rank badges?
They're how the club recognises your activity over time. You start with 1,000 Community Points the moment you join, earn 30 for every module you finish, 50 for every photograph you share, and 500 when you complete the course. As your points grow, your rank badge changes — from Regular through to Legendary.
Can I get a refund if it's not for me?
Yes. Email us within 30 days of joining and we'll refund the course in full. No quiz, no hoops — just reply to your welcome email and let us know.
Is the certificate worth anything?
The Course Completion certificate is CPD-certified, which is recognised across the UK for continuing professional development. For most members it's a quiet bit of pride rather than a career credential — but it carries genuine weight if you want it to.
