For a few years I've been shooting Digital - actually about 4 years. Being an old film shooter, I resisted Digital for a long time and then when I started I felt that I should be shooting on a level where I never need to do anything to my pix - even digital. I have 1000's of images - right out of the camera Jpgs.
So about a year ago I went to a class and saw what shooting RAW could do. I've spent time learning DPP and Zoom Browser EX and here and there a few little programs. One pro a while ago told me he was using a Microsoft Photo program, I used it for some editing. Last year I took a PS Elements class and learned a few more things. Several local photographer's told me about a PS class that you could register for, but, it was like a one on one independent class you could attend weekly for a small sum since it's at the local adult school. I tried to register for fall semester, but, I couldn't find it on the web - the course catalog wasn't out yet.
But, I did find a class from our local community college. You take it over the internet. When you want. Two lessons a week. Repeat as needed - only have to take the class within two weeks of it being put up in the "classroom". It's for CS 3. For $89.00. You can ask questions, all you want. Live people to answer.
Why'd I wait so long? I can't believe how much I've learned in two lessons.
