Photoshop Elements 8 Beyond the Basics: High Seas

April 24th, 2010 lvs Posted in In The Spotlight | No Comments »

We have Set Sail, we’ve had Clear Sailing, and now I will take you on the High Seas in this third online class of the series of courses specifically for Photoshop Elements 8 software.! This class will cover more advanced features of Photoshop Elements 8, such as installing and using layer styles, actions, and third party plug-ins. We will learn to replace a bad sky with a good one, work with patterns, and cover some more advanced photo correction techniques, such as using Camera Raw. We will learn to make a studio portrait from a snapshot, do a bit of digital alchemy and turn silver into gold, and much more!

This online course is not linear like the basics classes. It takes you above and beyond so you can use Elements to its potential. You will draw on skills learned in the basics classes to go further and become more creative than before. You will expand your knowledge of Elements with layer styles, actions, and plugins, and real layer masks! You will also learn to use camera raw to edit photos – even jpgs!

She started in computers in the mid-80′s but she didn’t start teaching until 2001 when she discovered that was what she really loved to do: write and teach! Things have come a long way since then, and her abilities have grown along with the computers and programs she uses. She has probably tried almost every graphics program out there and have written classes for most of them.
