"PhotoSuite" course offered
April 6, 2004
CARROLLTON, GA - Digital photography is liberating! It gives everyone the ability to edit and improve photos without the hassle of a darkroom. To help photographers take advantage of that flexibility, the University of West Georgia’s Department of Continuing Education is offering a “PhotoSuite” course on two Saturday mornings beginning April 24, from 9 a.m. to noon.
Unlike many photo editing programs, which are expensive and designed primarily for professionals, “PhotoSuite” is a program for people who want a variety of features and capabilities, but who don’t want to spend a lifetime learning to produce remarkable photos. The software can be used to create unique personalized projects such as 360-degree panoramas, slide shows, greeting cards, party invitations and more.
Course participants will learn how to use special effects to create professional-style photos that can be incorporated into albums, key chains, calendars and more. “PhotoSuite” software also offers editing tools that can be used to restore old, torn or faded photos; remove red-eye, scratches, blemishes or wrinkles; or colorize black and white photos.
Basic computer skills are needed for the course, which is suitable for most ages. It is suggested that students bring digital photos to class; however, it is not required.
The course is $59 and will be held in the Computer University Lab, located in the basement of the Ingram Library. For more information or to register, contact the Department of Continuing Education at 770-836-6611.
