  1. Hi, This course seems interesting and useful. Can you please tell me who can attend this course. Bye.

  2. Bonnie says:

    I have CS3 – would there be a huge difference?

  3. LyellC says:

    Would love to attend but, days are tied up until mid april. Looking forward to new class listings after that time.

  4. Tara says:

    I have Photoshop CS2, will this still be beneficial to me?

    • Steve says:

      with each version of the application, new important features are added. CS4, and CS3 before it, each added many that are beneficial to photographers and I will emphasize those. Especially since CS4 has been with us for 15 months now. Nonetheless, many of the concepts will carry over if not the tools and features.

      The same can be said of CS3, but to a lesser degree.

    When I went to sign up for this class I got the following message:
    That email address is already subscribed to the list
    I have signed up for other classes in the past but not this one. Once you are in are you in for all the classes you offer?

  6. Gary Galvin says:

    I signed up for this course a couple of weeks ago and have heard nothing since it is now two hours before the course starts, please advise, thanks.

  8. Lindielee says:

    I’m an artist and I only want to use photoshop adjust photographs to then transfer to acrylic or watercolor paintings. Will this course help me?

    • Steve says:

      Lindielee,

      I’ve never known an artist that wasn’t able to use information–often more than they thought they were looking for–and employ it usefully in their art! So you’ll the image adjusting part, for sure, but I won’t discuss transfers. In fact, I’m investigating ways to do that myself!

    Hi.

    I am interested in learning about photo shop. I work in Light room, but want to know about masks, layers, retouching etc. I noticed that there is a class that has already begun. Are these classes available to download or do you have to be available on the date they are scheduled?

  10. Ed says:

    I’m enrolled. Is there a schedule for iCal I can download???

  11. Liz says:

    Can someone please let me know if it is possible to watch the session AFTER the event. Due to time difference it is difficult to watch it at the scheduled time. If it is possible to watch the recording later, can you please provide a link – I can’t see any details on this page.

    regards and thanks

    I tried to watch the course overview, but it keeps buffering. My internet is running at 130 mps. is that not enough, and is the course streaming or download. This is almost unwatchable.

  13. RAND says:

    The 10 week photoshop course – On the site it looks like the 10 week course is $50 (down from $99). In another place it looks like the the course is $50 per segment or a total of $500. Can you clarify

  14. jim says:
