Photoshop Elements is a good starting place for beginning digital photographers and for those who are comfortable with the features (and choose not to spend the money on CS2). Elements gives you critical features (including RAW processing and the ability to use "layers" for "non-destructive" editing of your images), but is not the "full enchilada," missing advanced features available in CS2. And, that's okay! It works, and has some great features! And the new versions (which we'll be using) have some very helpful features not available in CS! This workshop will teach you the basic steps to edit your digital photographs using Photoshop Elements. What we'll cover...

• Overview
• Workflow
• Features & Settings
• Introduction to Layers
• ...Levels
• ...Brightness & Contrast
• ...Hue/Saturation
• ...Filters
• ...Other Adjustments
• Putting it All Together!

This seven hour workshop will be taught in a classroom setting by photographer Susanna MacKenzie Euston using slide presentation, demonstration, and individual one-on-one instruction. You will receive a CD with photo samples and handouts.

Required: Bring your laptop computer with Photoshop Elements installed. If you don't have a computer, you may be able to share with another, but will not get the full benefit of hands on experience. If you do not own a laptop, please contact us to make arrangements for a "loaner."

Class Size: Limited to eight students.
