Also Included in the course:

• Down-loadable handouts. One week before the session we will provide you with a link of down-loadable notes to follow along with during my demonstrations.
• Practice time! I feel that practicing the techniques I demonstrate and having time for questions is so important in helping you understand and apply the material we cover.  Built into this course is a 1 hour lunch/practice time as well as follow up question/answer segment at the end of the webinar.
• Live Question and Answer.  Questions can be submitted via instant messenger throughout our webinar!
• 4 of our most popular card layouts from The Kennedy Collection which I will review how to use and edit during the course

What you need:

This course is for Photoshop users only as it is predominately photoshop tutorials.  You should have a computer with photoshop to apply the information learned. You can download a free trial of photoshop here! Course information does not apply to Photoshop Elements.  It is recommended that you own Photoshop version 7 or newer.  If you are new to Photoshop, I recommend taking a Photoshop basics course before our webinar as I demonstrate a vast amount of Photoshop techniques and you may find it hard to keep up if the basics aren’t familiar.  There are thousands of great photoshop tutorials available online.
