A note to previous MAC Photoshop students. As Photoshop has evolved, so have our Photoshop classes. In the past we have offered 3 levels of Photoshop beyond our Basic level I class. The new Adobe Photoshop II-Advanced pulls all the best and most useful techniques from those 3 classes and highlights new features that continue to make it the most powerful graphics program on the planet. Please also note the new 5 day format.
