I recently finished the third (and final) class on Photoshop Elements offered by textile artists Deb Cashatt and Kris Sazaki, the "Pixeladies," and I would highly recommend their classes to other artists interested in working with Photoshop Elements. All three will be offered in succession from January through May, 2018. Could be a good holiday gift for someone to give you :-) The classes are set up well, with a combination of videos, handouts, the ability to see other students' work, and very helpful feedback from the instructors on each assignment and in response to questions from individuals. The exercises are very well designed, so that you learn the material as you go, and the material available for printout leaves you with a handbook to refer back to. The class material is delivered over four weeks, the instructors stay available for another two weeks after that, and then all the material remains accessible online for a total of six months. Photoshop has many, many features; Deb and Kris focus on those of most use to textile artists. The classes are very reasonably priced, $60 for each of the first two, and $125 for the third. I use Photoshop regularly now, both in the design process and for adjusting photos when needed. I highly recommend their classes!!

That page also lists the "Top 10 Photoshop Tasks for Fiber Artists"--I think all of these were covered in the first class. There's much, much more in the classes that follow.
I look forward to working the Photoshop Elements in the next months to design more patterns for napkins. The clover design in my last post was developed through this program.
