There are many aspects of Elements. The actual selection was guided somewhat by questions. In this format the class covered what participants wanted to know. This interaction with small class size optimized learning. Outstanding Class! Favorite part: Personal interaction with the class. The subjects introduced in class give a sound basis for further learning between classes. Thomas

*TRIAL USERS for Photoshop and/or Lightroom: Please download Elements & make sure it’s fully working at least 2 days before class/lesson (but they mean it when they say 30 days!) It’s a huge download – be sure to allow a day to make sure it’s working ok! It will stop functioning after 30 days from download!
