Colleen Henderson has recently scheduled her Winter 2005 Digital Photography seminars. See below for information or refer to her website at www.colleenhenderson.com.
WINTER 2005 CLASS SCHEDULE
HFA11: BASIC PHOTOSHOP - (5 sessions - 20 hours) $375
BASIC PHOTOSHOP is designed to teach Photoshop fundamentals so you can accomplish the same tasks on the computer that are traditionally done in the darkroom. You will learn to crop, adjust contrast and density, alter color balance, remove scratches, flaws, and much more. Photoshop is not difficult to learn, however, the many options can make it overwhelming for the beginner. Classes are small to allow for individualized instruction, and each student will be assigned a computer with Photoshop installed to use during class. The small group, hands-on environment, minimizes the frustrations that can accompany the learning process.
Wed mornings, Jan 19 - Feb 23; 9:00am - 1:00pm
