More detailed notes for this class
Adobe PhotoShop is most powerful, expensive, does not come with camera (LE or Elements perhaps)
You must take a course at CEd on your software to get the most out of it
Monitor calibration is essential
to see what you are getting, and to view your, and other's, photos
Photos must be small enough to email, large enough to look good (480x640 pixels very standard)
Websites are available to display your images (pbase,
photo.net), people can buy prints from some of them
Is it cost-effective to buy your own color printer?
What about on-line printing services?
How about
Walmart
and CostCo?
Showing your photographs to others unconditionally is very important
Take criticism or lack of enthusiasm on the chin
Become an active photographer to get the most out of this hobby and to claim yourself as a photographer
Homework - keep using your camera, for life!
