New for 2025

Our Introduction and Intermediate classes have been combined into an updated 12-week course! Returning students for the Intro or Intermediate courses will both be eligible to enroll for only $10 using our Student for Life Policy.

Take your photos to new heights with Photoshop! Our Photoshop Editing course provides a comprehensive introduction to photo editing using the Adobe Photoshop CC software.

We’ll teach a beginning-to-end workflow that will help you work confidently and efficiently. Learn how to improve any photo, save a problem photo, and turn a merely “good” photo into a prize winner! Course materials include a digital download of over 400 pages of notes and example images.

This course is designed for novice to intermediate-level students.

Requirements

The Photoshop CC software is not included in course fees and must be purchased separately from Adobe.com. Please ensure that Photoshop CC can be installed and launched on your computer prior to class starting.

This course covers Photoshop CC on desktop. It is not intended for the Photoshop app on iPad or Photoshop Elements.

Prior experience with digital photo editing is not necessary. Basic computer skills will significantly enhance your ability to learn. PC and Mac users are both welcome.

Class Attendance

Classes are offered both in-person and virtually. Our clubroom is located in Broadview Heights, Ohio. For those who prefer to attend remotely, livestream information will also be provided. Additionally, each class is recorded and can be viewed on your own schedule.

Due to the amount of material covered, we do not expect students to follow along with our examples as we teach. Instead, we suggest that you watch and take notes, then practice the exercises as needed between classes. We will not be able to pause the class for students to catch up.

As a student of the Cleveland Photographic Society’s School of Photography, you will be able to repeat the course you enrolled in for only $10 any time in the future.
