Our friends over at the learnin' side of mediabistro have just let us know about a valuable class running out there on the east coast in NY that should help increase your smarts by at least a factor of ten. It's the Fundamentals of Photoshop for Mac workshop, aimed for beginners and it runs for two days, Saturday, September 6th and Sunday, September 7th. They'll go over all the things you'll need to learn to get up and running with Photoshop, so you can start inserting your family members into old Soviet era photographs (or perhaps something more practical, but that's really up to you, isn't it?). What's more, if you enroll in any mediabistro class in September, you'll get a free one-year AvantGuild membership, which is beyond worth it (just hurry because that promo runs out on August 31st). All the details on the class can be found here.
