Course
Description

Taking photos is only half the fun! Download, attach, re-size, and e-mail photos to friends and family. Learn how to get the most out of your digital camera. Bring your instruction booklet and camera to class.

Emphasis

Macs vs. PCs

All Adobe programs are cross-platform. Macintosh and Windows computers are almost identical once you are inside an Adobe application. However pay attention to the following keyboard equivalents:

Windows	alt	ctrl	(example: ctrl+S)
Mac	opt	cmd	(example: cmd+S)
