This four-week hands-on class will show you the basics of "fixing" your photos after the shot. Basic adjustments like brightness and contrast, hue, saturation, red eye removal, scratch removal, and color will be explained and practiced. We will then get into more advanced features on photos like layering and effects.

You will receive a practice CD with a variety of problem photos. We will fix them in class using software (Adobe Elements, or Corel Paint Shop Pro)

This is NOT a beginner's class on the basics of the computer.
