This three hour, evening workshop is designed for anyone who has taken photographs - be it with a film or digital camera, who wishes to take that next step, and process their images in a photo editing software - in this case Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Perhaps the images are too dark, or conversely - too bright. Maybe you would like to rejuvenate some old negatives, crop a photo, or just improve and "resize" that massive file, to send some images by email to family and friends.

Opening any image software can be intimidating at first. Many years ago, when I started using first Microsoft Photo Editor and then later Adobe Photoshop 5, my stunned reaction to all the choices was YIKES! ...where do I go from here!

In a step-by-step process, participants will learn how to open a new file, then adjust the brightness, colour and saturation of each image. A demonstration of the clone and healing tools, adding borders and type, plus a few special effects will also be performed; before resizing, sharpening and saving - the new and improved image for the web or to print.

Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 3 is an image editing software with unlimited possibilities for photographers, artists and creative persons alike. I hope you will attend this three hour workshop, to learn how to get started on this wonderful adventure!

Participants may bring their laptop computers pre-loaded with either Adobe CS, CS2, CS3 or CS4. Mostly in English, the maximum class size is 12.
