• Do you know where to find your file once you have saved it?
• Do you know where the directories are on your computer?
• Do you know how to create new folders?

About Your Computer: We need to know a little about the type of computer you will bring to the class and the software you intend to use.

Photoshop & Fabric Printing: One of the requirements for this class is that you must have Adobe Photoshop Elements on your computer. The software is reasonably priced. It is cross-platform meaning you can get a version of it for either a PC or Mac computer. We always teach with the current version of PSE. If you are taking one of the basic classes and you are new to digital image processing you do not need to know how to use the Photoshop Elements in those classes. We will teach you the basics in class. But you must know how to use your computer. We cannot teach you how to use your computer and Photoshop Elements in the same class. If you want to use the full version of Photoshop instead of Elements it is OK. Please indicate which version you want to use in the Photoshop Elements box.

• How long have you been using it?
• What do you consider your skill level to be with it?
• Have you taken Photoshop classes or workshops? (If so, please, list and give a description of them.)
• What technique do you prefer using to adjust sections of an image?
• Do you use the cloning tool?

• If so, what, sensor and software do you use?
• What is your favorite method of adjusting the color of an image?

Printing:

If so, please, bring it to the class. If not, see if you can get a copy -- it may be as simple as downloading a copy from the Internet.
