My highschool is starting a credited class for PhotoShop. We will be using PhotoShop 7.0 and the teacher will be explaining the basics and then as the year progresses we will learn to produce from scratch. Next year will be cool. If anybody here is in highschool, ask an administrater at your school about it. Can you believe that, we get credits for this class. GO.
Make a list or folder of your favourite images (fully credited to their authors) that use PShop here on caedes, and use it to show your teacher.
That does 2 things.
1- it shows your forward thinking, enthusiasm and initiative.
2- It educates the teacher.
Hope your course gives you the opportunity to shine!
