 "I
have been using Elements for years, since 1.0. This course has rounded off my
understanding of the program very well. I have often felt that there were many
aspects of the program that I did not understand or even know existed, and now I
feel, for the first time, that I do have a thorough understanding of it. I have
enjoyed and feel highly benefited from this class. Thank you very much for
putting together an excellent program."
"I
have enjoyed this very much and feel like I can tackle any photo in my Photoshop
Elements 5.0 program with confidence - or at least I know I can look it up in
the lessons that I printed out!"
"I
really enjoyed this class. It was a great combination with the first Elements
class. I never would have figured out how most of the tools worked on my own.
Not only were the lessons and assignments helpful, but the other resources that
were provided by Beverly were awesome. I found many of them that I will use over
and over again. My family can't get over the things I have done since I started
this class and now I have the confidence to try more and new projects with the

was my second class with Beverly... and it won't be the last! She presented the
Photoshop Elements class in a manner that was easy for the non-professional to
understand."
