This is a "mini" version of our "foundation" class that is a class in itself and also the core of our other specific digital photography workshops. The "Core" class covers the widely used tools and methods that most people require to handle their digital images. When coupled with "user specific" photo workshops, it is more focused toward specific applications.
The class lasts 1 day - 9.00 am to 5.30 pm.
Price: $110.00

By popular request, we are offering a reduced version of our Core class for people wanting to take our other workshops but want a leg up on working with PhotoShop Elements or have taken the full Core class and want a refresher. The goal of this workshop is to teach photographers of any level of competence how to handle their digital images in the computer - PC or Mac. Using PhotoShop Elements, students will learn the basics of how to prepare their image files for a multitude of uses as well as how to identify and fix problems with the images. Included in this, is instruction on organizing, viewing and cataloguing digital images.
