We’ll be working on the College’s PC computers but the techniques will transfer easily for those who work on Macs. Bring your photos on CDs or a portable drive to class so you can work on them with the assistance of the instructor. In addition, please bring blank disks so you can take images you work on in class back home with you. The class will run over 4 consecutive sessions and cost is $40 per person. Register Now!
