Digi Classes

Welcome to our Blog.
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

We’ve had a lot of interest in our Digi Classes that we’re running, so I thought I’d post a few details here.

Photo Editing Tricks Class

  • For the Photo Editing Tricks class we will be using Photoshop Elements. I personally use a Mac so that’s what I know, but there is not a lot of difference beteen the Mac and pc versions so if you use a pc it’s not a problem.
  • We do not assume ANY knowledge of Photoshop Elements or Photoshop in the Photo Editing Tricks class. We literally start at the beginning which is one of the reasons why it is an all day session. We lay down really strong foundations for you to build on.
  • We do ask that you have Photoshop Elements installed when you arrive. If you do not already have it there are a few options. Computer Tricks for Scrapbooking 2 has a free demo disc included. This would also be a great resource to have at home for after the class to jog your memory about things. You can also download a 30 day trial from the Adobe website.
  • We can set up desktop machines as well as laptops if you need to bring your desktop.
  • You will get the chance to work on some of your own photographs.
  • The class starts at 10am, and runs until about 4pm. We do include lunch, and yes, you can shop in the shop during the lunch break.
  • Spaces are limited in this class as we need to make sure everyone has space, and power! Please book early to guarantee your place.

Not Sure?

Not sure if you really want to do digi? Neither are we! There’s no need to abandon paper scrapbooking, and this class focusses on editing your photos, so that you can get them printed off and use them for anything. Not sure if you want to buy Photoshop Elements? Download a 30-day trial from the Adobe website, and use that during the class, you can make the decision afterwards if you like it.

  • We ask that you attend Photo Editing Tricks first to ensure that you know the tools and techniques that we will use in this class. As it is only a 2-hour session we won’t have time to cover the basics and finish the page.
  • We will be using Photoshop Elements. I personally use a Mac so that’s what I know, but there is not a lot of difference beteen the Mac and pc versions so if you use a pc it’s not a problem. If you have Photoshop, the application will look different but you should still be able to follow the class.
  • We do ask that you have your software installed when you arrive.
  • You can complete the class in a number of different colourways, we have background ‘papers’ available in pink, blue, green and orange.
  • We can set up desktop machines as well as laptops if you need to bring your desktop.
  • Spaces are limited in this class as we need to make sure everyone has space, and power! Please book early to guarantee your place.
