I posted this in the general forum first, I didn't realize there was a digital forum until now

I'm looking for class suggestions for learning on photoshop elements.

I would like to know more about photo editing, actions, templates, brushes, and anything else that relates to it. I have never tried digi scrapping but yet I'd like to know basics.

Right now all I know is the very basic of cropping, auto adjustments and saving.

Thanks!


Melanie

Hi Melanie! Two Peas has some free classes that are a really good way to get started:

Erica's digi 101
and
PSE with Sande Krieger

Everything I learned about PSE was from Jessica Sprague, who is one of the all-time most fun people to take classes from. Her classes are not free, but they are not expensive and are totally worth it. Hope that helps! Feel free to ask questions as you learn, because we're a helpful bunch!

I second what lizj said. The free 2peas lessons is where I got started. Also, this blog has a whole bunch of free tutorials, tips, actions and templates for PS and PSE.

Have fun!

I learned everything I know about PSE from the 2peas free classes mentioned above starting with SandeKrieger's class then Erica Hernandez's class. I asked questions, tried out challenges to learn new techniques and watch various HOW-TO tutorials from various sites. I'm no expert but I do pretty well in PSE now and love it. Have fun, and don't hesitate to ask questions here...we are all quite willing to help.

I got started with the two peas free classes too and that got me part way along and well able to create some great pages. I think I then did the second in the Jessica Sprague series for a bit more in depth.

Jessica Sprague's classes are excellent and always available to you in case you want to review later.
