So way back last year there was a Groupon offer for Flying Photo School. I purchased 1 Groupon to take an online class (classes are $97 but with Groupon it was only $29). I remembered in mid August that I had to use it soon. When logging onto our Groupon account I discovered that it had expired 5 days before. Just Grrrreat! However I remembered that even if the Groupon has expired you can still use the value of what you paid towards a purchase.
So being the Dutch person that I am I decide to purchase the intro to photo editing class in September. When entering the Groupon code it said I owed nothing. Woo Hoo!
So the course was 4 weeks long. The course was done with videos and then an assignment was assigned each week. I am proud to say that I have a little bit of understanding how to use the full version of Photoshop! I am also comfortable using Bridges.
So here are my edits:
Week 2 - Basic Editing in Bridge (white balance, temperature, tint, exposure, recovery, blacks, brightness, contrast, clarity, vibrance, and saturation) followed up with adding text to pictures in Photoshop

| After |
Week 3 - Using the clone tool to remove blemishes
 |
| Before |
 |
| After |
Week 4 - Adding textures to pictures
 |
| Before |

| After |
I learned a lot from this course. However, it makes me now realize that all the pictures I have taken over the years can be improved with minor edits. However, this all takes time. Not really sure I am ready to take on that project. So maybe I will start by editing future photos.
Until next time :)
