LEARN
At Zeff Photo, we believe in the power of photography, and we encourage everyone to take photos of the important (and not-so-important) moments in their lives. But many of us need help. We all want to take better photos, but we need help understanding the new digital technology. We need help figuring out the many different buttons, settings and menus on our cameras. What lenses work best? How about flashes and lighting? And if we can learn how to print our photos, what do we do with them? Do we create photo albums? Scrapbooks? Calendars? Is our work good enough to display?
With so many questions, Zeff Photo recognized the need to create a resource center. That is why we launched Zeff U, the education initiative here at Zeff Photo. Through seminars, lecture series, workshops, demos and store events, we hope to provide learning opportunities to everyone, at all skill levels.
So whether you just bought your first digital camera, or you are a seasoned pro, you can still learn something new about photography. We are always adding classes, and registration is ongoing so keep checking back. We are sure you will find a class that's right for you!

Photoshop Elements
Instructor: Carol Padden
Course Level: Introductory Level
Edit and organize your photos using Adobe Photoshop Elements. This program features most of the tools of Adobe Photoshop at a fraction of the cost, a great tool for any photographer. You will get hands-on practice improving and fixing common photographic problems like exposure, color balance, contrast and red eye. We will cover what type/size files you should be shooting or scanning and the best ways to open, save, and organize these files in Photoshop Elements. You will correct the exposure and contrast, remove distracting items in your photographs, crop, sharpen and more. Skills covered in this class are transferable to other image editing programs, including the full version of Photoshop. Time permitting we may cover techniques for retouching and removing unwanted items.
Basic computer skills are required. This is a hands-on class and you need to bring a laptop PC to class with Photoshop Elements Version 6 software loaded.
