Natureslite Digital Imaging/Photoshop Instructional Program
The Digital Imaging/Photoshop Instructional Program is a tailored 1:1 or small group program conducted in a comfortable home
office environment located in Broadview Heights, Ohio. In a unique approach, the philosophy is to manage the more technical and
"administrative" aspects of digital imaging, so it will
not be allowed to interfere with your creative ability.

Learn to efficiently process your work and to extend the skills you need to be confident and relaxed with the tools you use.
To this end, the Photoshop training exposes you to all the various ways to perform a task in an effort to encourage
experimentation, creativity, and achieve fluid workflow. There is no enforcement of techniques, but simply to offer all the
possibilities to choose where you are comfortable. You may work in your own manner and/or choose “to power up” your workflow.
Personal tutoring classes are tailored to your specific needs. Select one or
more specific topics for your session from the list below by clicking on the

and payments must be made no less then 5 days in advance. If for any reason
you have to cancel, your payment will be credited towards your next session.

Recommendations: Download and install all available updates to all your software programs on a regular basis to insure you are working with
the most current versions.

Supplying your own images on disc will save time during your session. Working with your own images has proven to be the most powerful
training method and ensures relevance to your personal and professional practice.
