The Edit: Picture Focus

The Edit: Picture Focus is running every Friday afternoon at Culture House Sunderland, from 2pm to 3pm. It's a creative drop-in session for image editing, with professional support on hand in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

The setup is straightforward: you bring in your work and get some expert help to move it forward. You can start something from scratch right there, or bring along projects you've already been working on, downloaded from your cloud or your hard drive. The staff are friendly and there to help you figure out the tools, so it works whether you're stuck on a specific technique or just want a second pair of eyes on a piece you're developing.

It's aimed at students, designers, photographers and content creators, so you'll likely find yourself working alongside people from a few different creative backgrounds. Because it's a drop-in, there's no pressure to produce anything in one go—you can pop in for a single session or make it a regular Friday afternoon habit. The session is for ages 16 and over, and you don't need to book in advance.

It's free to attend, and since it runs every Friday from 2pm to 3pm at Culture House Sunderland, you can just turn up when it suits you.
