Software and Hardware Notes
The software used in classes is Adobe Photoshop Elements 5, however, the techniques you learn can be applied to most other graphic programs.
We provide you with your own individual laptop set up with all the necessary tools for the class. These include photos as well as the Brushes and Templates which will be used during that class.
We also provide Wacom Bamboo Graphics Tablets. These Tablets (which replace the computer mouse) are the preferred choice of professional designers and photographers and enable you to edit your images much more accurately and quickly. |
