After taking the online digital photo editing class, Photo Editing: Good-to-Great Workflow, I may never print another photograph without first editing it in photoshop.  This class taught me how to take photos that I think turned out pretty good to editing them into great photos!

Jessica Sprague teaches this class at JessicaSprague.com .  Jessica is a known digital scrapbooking expert.  She has written for Simple Scrapbooks magazine (now out of print) and currently she is a contributing editor for Creating Keepsakes on digital scrapbooking subjects.  Jessica Sprague is the author of 3 volumes of Computer Tricks for Scrapbooking.  I have all 3 of these publications and keep them close to my computer for reference whenever I am digital scrapbooking.

Photo Editing: Good-to-Great Workflow is a self-paced online class taught by Jessica Sprague.  The class is offered primarily through online videos and provides instruction in both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop.  I personally use Photoshop Elements, though I own both programs. I find Photoshop Elements much more user friendly and faster for digital scrapbooking.  Photoshop seems to be the preferred program for those who are advance digital scrapbookers. 

This course includes 5 lessons and bonus lessons.  Don't think you are only going to learn 5 photo editing techniques though.  In each lesson, you learn a number of techniques for improving your photos.  You watch Jessica Sprague as she shows you step-by-step how to transform a photo into a gorgeous photograph.  You can even pause and start the video as you follow along with in your photoshop program on a photograph of your own.

Jessica Sprague's teaching style is calm and confident. You really do feel like she is right there with you as you work through the videos.  She doesn't overwhelm you with too much information, but still she explains what you need to know to not only complete the technique but to remember how to do it on your own later.  The course also comes with printable pdf notes that you can keep by your computer for reference.

In Photo Editing: Good-to-Great Workflow, Jessica Sprague teaches you how to edit exposure, brightness and contrast.  Her tips and techniques are sure to enhance your photos, especially your "not so great" ones.  She really does teach you how to transform a so-so photo to a terrific photo.  She also teaches you how to convert a photo to black and white or sepia tone.  You will also learn how to resize and sharpen your photos.  Finally, you'll learn how to save your photos either for print or for the web. 

This class is for anyone who wants to learn how to improve their photos after they have been taken.  Even those who know the basics of photoshop editing will learn something from this course.  This my first class with Jessica Sprague and now I'm hooked on her online classes.  I've finished 3 courses offered on her site, and am registered for more.
