January Classes - "Floating Coyotes Photoshop Users Group" THIS IS
THE GROUP'S FIRST MEETING! ATTEND FOR JUST $5
Monday January 9 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The Floating Coyotes Photoshop Users Group consists of people who are
using Adobe products: Photoshop Elements, Photoshop CS and Lightroom. The group meets the second Monday of the month from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
One of the great things about a users group is its a mixture of people with little
to no experience with Photoshop and long-time users. It's a great mix for everyone to teach and/or learn about Photoshop
in a club like environment. Plus, rather than having a ton of material to learn in a typical class, learn a handful
of things that will get you through until the next month when you'll learn some more new things.
The meetings will consist of three 20-30 minute tutorials on a Photoshop Elements, CS5 and Lightroom topic which you can suggest for upcoming
months. There will also be a 30-45 minute long Q&A portion where attendees can ask and answer questions from other
group members on any topic in the Photoshop realm. We'll also have a networking portion where you can chat one on one with
group members about Photoshop and Lightroom.
Members can request
specific topics to be covered for upcoming meetings! Bring your laptop to follow along with monthly presentations or to get
hands on help from fellow group members. There will also be
discounted classes for Floating Coyote members attending Photoshop classes at WorkShoots.
User group members will also be able to network with other members and create friendships and partnerships. Annual membership
to participate in the Floating Coyotes is $99--no membership in WorkShoots is required!
An annual membership gets you 30 hours of education a year for the price of a single 7 hour Photoshop Class! Attend a monthly
meeting for $12
