Requirements
- Requirements
- Students would benefit from a little basic experience editing photos - this would be an advantage, but, as we start with the basics, it's not essential to the learning process
- It's important to have either the full version, or at least the trial version of Elements installed on your computer (Mac or PC). (Note: Adobe trials last for a month).
- Some of the lessons are concerned with processing RAW files, so make sure you have a few RAW files available so you get the most from the exercises - check the camera manual for details about how to shoot RAW files.
