COURSE PREREQUISITES: This course is conducted in Adobe Photoshop CC 2017.  Most projects will work in older versions of Photoshop, but some filter options may not be available in older versions.
Students need to have a basic working knowledge of Photoshop and be able to open, close and place files in a working document.
The course is suitable for advanced beginners and onwards.  The videos have precise instructions, so if you are a ‘newbie’ then you will only need to pause and or replay to gather all the information being shared.

For further enquiries, please feel free to contact Marie or Karen

We look forward to seeing you in Class!
