Omg, I have the funniest story to add...

You know my *istD, the one that I have clocked the 10,000 counter on about 6
or 7 times now?  The one that I used to shoot about 250 weddings
in the space of 3 years? 

Well, guess what...

I have NEVER, ever had the sensor cleaned on it!!

You want dust, I'll give you dust buddy! Hehe.

Yeah, I can see that. OTOH, it doesn't take much to find out which ones 
of the on-line tutorials are going to help or not. Only takes a few 
seconds to see if the tutor can communicate an idea.


If he/she can, it doesn't take much longer to find out if it's an idea 
that will help improve your skills in an area you want improved. It's a

I had a hard time with Photoshop until I took an online course in it,
years ago. Since then I have just been learning more as I went along.
I've never bothered to read a book about it. You might want to check out
the book Adobe Photoshop 7.0 for Photographers, First Edition by Martin
Evening http://tinyurl.com/2vqy7

It got varying reviews on Amazon, but check it out for yourself.

ERN is right; not all professors are that great. Maybe you could see if
you could sit in on a class with the instructor of the class you want to
take and see if you like him/her.

One teaches Photoshop, the other has used it as a graphic artist

One likes beer, the other wine.
It's a great relationship.

I suppose it depends on what you're doing with photos.  I found 7 to be a
vast improvement over 6 for photo repair and restoration, and the file
browser is a wonderful tool, once you get to know it.  As for it being a
memory gobbler, I'd disagree on that point as well.  It ran very well on a
Win98 machine with 512mb of memory.  Can't remember ever needing the
scratch disk.

Now, compared to Elements, maybe, but it's all relative.

That's probably true. I did fine with 6. But if you're working with the

Subject: OT: To Photoshop Class, Or Not?

Yes, several over the years, including week long workshops.
The most important thing about classes and workshops is not only the
teacher's ability to teach but also if Photoshop is being taught for graphic
artists or for photographers. Most of the local Community college courses
around here (south east Michigan) were being taught with the graphic artist
in mind, useful to a point but alot of non useful  things were also taught.
I've taken weeklong workshops from professional photographers using
Photoshop in their everyday business - I learned the most applicable stuff
from these guys.
I highly recommend Geo Lepp's workshops for the course material and the
hands on lab work.
One week at one of these will have your head spinning with new ideas and new
ways of doing old things you've been doing.

 Or did you just learn it from books?

That also, over the years, from highly recommended  books..

 Or what?

Or what being trying the things I read about and tried at workshop and kept
plugging away at it.

 Marnie aka Doe

Hopes this helps.
