I am offering for the first time in March a new class - DSU 185 - Easy Photo Management and Editing using Picasa.
This class is written for beginning scrappers and more advanced users alike.
Picasa is a free program designed for easy photo management and editing.
Although it is free, it allows the user to make some fairly advanced photo editing tasks with a few clicks of a button and is often underused.
It is not a perfect program and does have several faults which can be frustrating but putting those aside it is worth learning to use the program in its entirety to make the most of it – and lets face it – you can’t beat the price !!!
In this 2 week class we will cover many of the ways you can use Picasa to organise, manage and improve your photos.
You can sign up for this class here- http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2176
In the first lesson we will cover the basics of using Picasas photo management tools and how useful they can be for organising not only your photos but your kit and element collections as well. More than half of the 2 weeks lessons will cover its wonderful photo editing tools and you will learn that you can recover wonderful images from ones you might normally have thought worthless. ( I also briefly cover the other great tools that Picasa has such as back up features, creating gift cds, screensavers and slideshows and more.
Here is an image that I edited using just picasa- you can do this too!!!!
