Hands-On Digital Photography Editing Classes

Featuring Adobe Photoshop Elements
Members of the Des Plaines Camera Club conduct these photo editing classes with Photoshop Elements software. Classes are for beginning and intermediate users of Photoshop Elements, who want to get the most out of this wonderful software and use digital technology to make better photographic images.


This is not a class on how to use your computer. To take this class you must have a Laptop Computer with Adobe Photoshop Elements (6 or 7) already installed and ready to use. You will learn how to maximize the look and appeal of everyday images, and you'll learn how to optimize photographic images to the level of fine art.


Topics include: understanding Photoshop Elements icons; tools; filters; resolution; file size; cropping; coloring; photo restoration; photo collages; converting color images to black and white; image  sharpening for maximum print quality. You are encouraged to bring your favorite images on flash drives, memory cards, or CD's for use in class for assignments and exercises.
