Cleveland Photographic Society Falll Course Lineup Starts Soon

I've written in the past about the courses offered by the Cleveland Photographic Society. I took the introduction to Digital Editing Course outlined below and found it immensely helpful. I now teach Photoshop Elements for Ideastream. The CPS course I took allowed Photoshop Elements to make sense for the first time. I had owned the program for two years prior to taking the course and had not scraped the surface of what it can do on my own.

If you are interested in photography and want to learn more from experienced instructors, in a supportive environment, with detailed handouts, this course is for you. The information below is from the website of the Cleveland photographic Society.

Fall Photo School Enrollment Open! For over 90 years, CPS has been promoting photographic education through its School of Photography programs. Sessions this Fall will continue this long-standing tradition. Click here for the complete brochure in Adobe PDF format.
