Photoshop Elements 4.0: First Steps

The class is the beginning class for Photoshop Elements 4.0, and because this is an Overview course, it covers the interface, basic photo editing, some special effects, and the new features of the software. We will also cover using the Organizer to manage your photos. Each week there will be a section called Picture Perfect that deals with editing and improving your photos, and a section called Creative Corner that deals with the more artistic effects Elements is so good at, so whatever your intended use for Photoshop Elements 4, there’s something for everyone.

Prerequisites
You must have Photoshop Elements 4.0 installed, and be familiar with basic Windows operating system commands, such as knowing how to use menus and to save and open files. You also must know how to download and unzip files because there will often be files needed to complete class exercises. To post homework, you will have to be able to either build a simple webpage, use one of the free web hosts or photo gallery sites. Ideas for free or low cost web space can be found here. If you are really new to web pages then I suggest one of the gallery sites like Yahoo Photos which is free or pbase which is very reasonable.

Neither of those options require you to know any html.
