Photoshop Classes
Photoshop® is truly the 800 pound gorilla of the graphics world, with a very deep and broad interface. We start at the beginning, even if you have no Photoshop experience, and walk you through the basics. Many of these elementary photo imaging principles apply both to Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, an excellent program for the hobbyist. It is recommended however, that you have a basic understanding of computing and your operating system, either Windows or Mac, first.
One of the cornerstones of my classes is my belief that they must be tailored to the needs and goals of the students. Many adults come to these classes with tremendous variation in their experience and skills; it is my primary job to first ascertain what my students need and how best to proceed to attain their goals.
I strive to promote a low pressure and welcoming atmosphere, geared to the needs and goals of adult students. I use discussions, demonstrations, videos, hand outs, and other materials to demystify Photoshop and help students to discover its endless creative possibilities for personal expression.

I could come in to meet you and your staff and give you a complimentary sample presentation so you can decide if I am right for your community. No obligation, of course.

Photo Correction and Enhancement:
Although there is no substitute for a good image, sometimes we need to improve on what we have as the photo cannot be retaken.
In this first example, we have a young lady who relished her food with such gusto that neatness became of secondary importance to her. However, with Photoshop, I was able to improve on reality just a bit!
This one is a father-daughter collaboration.
My dad did this sketch of Gary Cooper many years ago, and although he was very creative in many ways, this is the only example of a non-mechanical drawing I have from him, made all the more poignant by his passing last year.
First the sketch:
Here is the original photo he worked from, just about falling apart now:
And, here is my correction and enhancement. This one's for you, Dad!
