This is one of my Adult Ed courses consisting of 4 Monday night 3 hour classes. Cost is $164 to $204 depending on concession rate or full fee. The class has enough students to go ahead but a few more places are available. This is the last opportunity for 2013 to do this course.
In the 12 hours of lessons we will complete about 28 exercises to make you familiar with the capabilities of both GIMP and yourself.
I own Photoshop CS4 and CS6 and I always prefer to use GIMP to manipulate and create my final images. GIMP is free and works on Windows, MAC, and Linux computers.
