One of you local community/junior colleges may give Lightroom/Photoshop courses. Check with them for a tutor.

Indi Loc: L. I., NY, Palm Beach Cty when it's cold.

Try meridithimages.com. She gave a lecture here on L.I. A few years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot. She's based in Connecticut.

You might give Lynda.com a look-see. Not exactly a "personal" tutor, but the price is very much easier to accept. $25.00/month. Verry good videos in photography, especially photoshop/lightroom. Use @ your own chosen speed. GL

They have many types of tutorials which are free to watch on line during the day they are presented. You can also purchase them for later reference.

The programs tend to run all day and start at noon eastern time and 9 pacific . I have attended and purchased a few for photoshop. When I can I sit and watch on line and take notes.

Check out their schedule to see if they anything you need coming up soon.

And yes, another good alternative is a local college course.

Based on my experience with Photoshop and not using it daily is it is so complex that you forget the complex things you learn. What I do is when I want to do something specific I search for tutorials on the subject. I prefer videos. There are hundreds if not thousands available for free. Then I bookmark the best ones. That way in a few months when I want to apply a specific technique again and can't remember all the steps I can go back and look at them again.

I agree that one on one instruction is the best but it is usually expensive from a pro. Finding a college student who wants to earn a few bucks would be cheaper. Doing so would probably be a good thing for learning the basic things you use almost every time you use Photoshop but if you're like me you will forget how to do the complex things you only do occasionally and unless you also take great notes then you will have wasted time and money.

Here is an example. I don't do a lot of masking but when I do I use a few simple techniques I have learned and remember. Occasionally I need to do some more complex masking involving hair so I refer back to this video because I don't use the techniques described often enough to have learned and mastered them. http://photoshoptrainingchannel.com/advance-hair-masking/ These techniques can also be applied to masking tree, bushes and other complex subjects.

Hi Bob. I'm the kind of person that learns
with me and a teacher. Tutorials are
great, but I just learn a whole lot faster
with one on one.
Anyone near 35121 in Alabama that
wants the teacher for $ job? Gimp 2.8,
Elements 6. Either.
