Prerequisites

Users should have a recent version of Photoshop. Versions 7 through CS5 will be able to do all the techniques shown. A CD will be sent prior to the course, so you can follow the instructions step by step to achieve the finished product.

Users should have a high speed Internet connection. Either cable or DSL through the phone company. A dial up connection will not likely be fast enough.

How it works

For each online virtual class, you will be given a special website to go to and some connection information. This will download a small program to your computer that will allow you to not only see the presenter's screen, but for you to show your screen if you're trying to ask a specific question. You dial a conference call line so you can hear the audio, and interact with the class and instructor. Classes are held to a maximum of 10 users so everyone gets a chance to speak.

This may be the best online learning experience you've ever had.
