Delaware Valley Arts Alliance presents “Photoshop: All You Need to Know,” a series of three workshops taught by commercial and fine art photographer Chip Forelli. These courses are ideal for photographers looking to enhance their art with Adobe Photoshop, the leading photo manipulation software. Forelli provides hand-on trianing in the tools photographers need the most, such as importing images, creating layers, and color correction. Courses are held Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Delaware Arts Center,
37 Main Street, Narrowsburg, NY. Tuition is $60 per workshop. Students may register for one, two, or all three courses. It is highly recommended, but not required that students bring a laptop with Photoshop on it. Class size limited to 12. To register, call (845) 252-7576. Payment is required when registering. Early registration is encouraged.

For those completely unfamiliar with Photoshop, Forelli will present a free demonstration of Photoshop’s capabilities—with before and after images—on Saturday, September 11 at 11 a.m. Seating is limited for this free demonstration. Call (845) 252-7576 to sign up.
