We have reorganized our Photoshop training courses to be more of a free-flow, pick-and-choose affair. All the subjects are presented as separate lectures that can be taken out of order, as needed. Take a look at the list below to see if you are interested in any of the classes offered. Contact us if you have a specific imaging problem than needs solving - we can help!

The classes are priced at $150.00 for one-on-one sessions and $75.00 for group sessions (2 or more students). This includes printed supplements covering all of the learning material, as well as the access to royalty-free sample images.

Students can benefit from bringing their laptops and following the excersizes hands-on, if desired. Sessions last 2 hours with a short break and usually start at 6:00 PM on weekdays, unless arranged differently.
