Job #4

I’ve always wanted to teach Photoshop. I love the program more than a fat kid loves cake. It’s not just the program; I get excited when I see other people get inspired. So when a local photography group invited me to come teach a class, it was, well, a dream come true.

But as I’m trying to narrow down the subject matter to keep it within two hours covering the skill levels from complete beginner to moderately advanced, I’m starting to realize that there is NO WAY to truly convey the absolute AWESOMENESS of Photoshop. And I’m also starting to understand that maybe, just maybe, all the useless stuff rolling around in my head is lining up for a PURPOSE.

And that’s pretty exciting.

    You should teach a Photoshop class at a junior college or some other place.

    As a photographer it would be handy to know more about photoshop than I already know. Warming tones or getting rid of stuff. It truly is a useful tool. Care to teach me?

    Just for god sake… teach them that simply using a filter does not make it pretty. Fundamentals make it pretty.

    Yeah, no doubt. Can you teach them to have good taste? ‘Cause that would be helpful in the whole “making pictures better” realm.

    I’d love to take an actual course in Photoshop and learn all the right ways to do the few things I know how to do. And, of course, learn all the things that I don’t even know that I should be doing. Oh, do be sure to beat layers into their head, though! I was like seeing in color for the first time when I finally started to get layers.
