Course description: Introduction to Photo Editing with PhotoImpact
Techniques are pretty much the same no matter which software we use but we will focus on PhotoImpact because it is, presumably, your software of choice. And, the reason for that is, that it is more user friendly and intuitive than other software the author has used.
The course is aimed at the beginner to intermediate user although some advanced users may find it useful. We will touch on filters in PI but their use will be minimal.
For more detail on what will be covered during the six weeks please see Course Outline.
Desired Software: PhotoImpact 10

Digital camera
