Photoshop Classes Nov. 3 and 18; $20 for Members

Hands-on Photoshop workshops will be offered in November at two levels: Beginning Photoshop is 9 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 3, and Intermediate Photoshop ia 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 18. Participants can attend either session or both. The workshops are $20 for NPC members and $55 for non-members for one session; $35 for members and $100 for non-members for both sessions.

Participants will need to bring a couple of recent digital photos on a thumbdrive; laptops will be provided, or participants may bring their own as long as they have Photoshop software. Please bring at least one photo with a person as the subject and one photo featuring of a location or landmark. JPEG file format is best, by any standard format (tiff, targa, png, jpeg, RAW) will do as long as the photo has a decent resolution photograph and is not from a built-in cameraphone.

Classes will be taught by Ivan Meyers, a multimedia specialist who holds degrees in radio, television and film as well as a master's degree in music technology. He has worked as a production specialist at NBC News in New York and recently ran the broadcast studio and oversaw nightly newscast production at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, where he also taught video editing, web programming and television studio production.

The classes will be held in the Bloomberg classroom, but space is limited. To reserve a seat, contact [email protected] with your name and NPC member number or, for non-members, their billing preference.

Upcoming training events: Panel on social media standards, Oct. 20; Social networking and reporting classes, Oct. 28-29; Writing Secrets, Nov. 10.
