Note: For students who have taken Photoshop for the Digital Photographer  with CS3 or CS4

As of January, 2011, Our Photoshop for the Digital Photographer course has been substantially expanded, rewritten, and updated and is now offered in a two-course format.  If you've previously taken Photoshop for the Digital Photographer,  here are some things to keep in mind if you're considering the new CS6 courses.

Photoshop CS6 for the Digital Photographer will be a review for most of you.  It's updated and expanded and includes CS6-specific content, covering some subjects in more detail, but overall the basic information doesn't change that much from version to version.  You'll find these additions to this course:

The second course, Photoshop CS6 for the Digital Photographer II, builds on the first course and is a mix of some material from previous versions of the course and completely new topics, along with the new CS6 features.  This material will be primarily new for returning students.

So which class to take?  If you've taken one of my Photoshop for the Digital Photographer courses and feel comfortable with Photoshop and CS6 for basic work, you'll do well in Photoshop CS6 for the Digital Photographer II.  If you'd like a refresher with updated material for CS6 and some expanded coverage, you may want to start with Photoshop CS6 for the Digital Photographer.  And, of course, students new to Photoshop should start with this course as well.
