what former students are saying about this class

This class exceeded my expectations. I learned a tremendous amount and felt it was an excellent value for the cost.

– Lisa Sheppard, Artist/Designer. Dreamfly Creations

This class was great. I found the handouts useful when I needed to refresh my memory on how we did something. Lots of little tips and tricks given during the semester. Worth the money and time to take this course if you want to learn how to use Photoshop!

– Terri, Student.Fall 2010

If you want to learn how to use Photoshop, this is the course! Mary uses a hands-on method of teaching that is very effective for this type of content. She reinforces what you have learned with homework and online quizzes as well as follow up in class. I am still amazed by how much I learned.

– Carolynn, Student.Fall 2010

I applied a lot of what I learned to graphic design for advertisements, business cards, logo design, etc. As you can see from my website, it sparked my creativity and allowed me to show it.

– Gerald Flores, Gf Graphic Designer

As an introductory course, this class is such an eye-opener to the possibilities that are available with PhotoShop. Each day that I attended class, I realized how amazing this program is. I am looking forward to attending the intermediate class and further expanding on what I just learned.

– Esmeralda Hinojosa, Student.Fall 2010

I had used CS programs for more than 10 yrs. through a self–taught process. I felt it was time to learn more about the power of PhotoShop CS and enrolled. I found that the class was just what I needed. I am retired, but have worked in the field of fine arts on the side for most of my life. The class broadened my capabilities to utilize and work more efficiently in CS. Looking forward to taking the Intermediate PhotoShop CS class.
