How to Figure Out Your Point & Shoot Digital Camera
Paul Dumas

Digital cameras offer a marvelous photography experience if you know how to use them. However, they seem more complicated than a traditional film system. A digital camera is basically a computer with a lens on it. Point & Shoot Digital Cameras will deliver wonderful photos of most subjects with ease. We will go through the use of menus and settings for the students' cameras. Subjects will include resolution, metering, exposure compensation, ISO, white balance, macro techniques, storage mediums, battery systems and downloading procedures. Included in the seminar will be demonstration of software to organize and enhance your images. Each student will receive a CD of shareware software and photo examples for the digital photographer. Students will get the most from this seminar if they have used the camera to take several dozen photos and familiarize themselves with the main controls: (record, play and delete). If a control is difficult or does not make sense, the seminar will. Bring your digital camera with fully charged batteries, a memory card and the manual to class and learn the basics of this revolutionary instrument. Limited to 12 students.

Free Digital Camera Software
Paul Dumas

Students will leave the class with a CD of Free software for Organizing and Editing Digital Photos. The Seminar will cover the basics of organizing, values, renaming and setting categories for digital files. The free organizing programs are of incredible quality and equal to many commercial programs. Several programs on the CD will be used for the demonstration. If your editing needs are personal or for small business you do not need an expensive and complex program. The free programs on the disk will suffice for most people as an editor. Editors are digital darkrooms that change photos with awesome power and speed. Totally free editors are very limited and do not have a standard interface. If you want to do more comprehensive editing, Adobe PhotoShop is the industry standard at $400+. There are several inexpensive (Under $100) editors such as Adobe PhotoShop Elements, Corel Paint and PaintShop Pro. The number one choice is PhotoShop Elements as it is extremely powerful with a lot of help. Elements also works just like PhotoShop, so in learning Elements, you are ready to upgrade. Elements will be the main program to demonstrate the power of editors in creating better images. Leave class with a better understanding of digital software and the answers to any questions you have. Limit to 12 students.
