DSU 231 - Beginning PSP Element Creation

Instructor Lori J. Davis

In the Beginning Paint Shop Pro Element Creation class, you'll create some basic digital scrapbook elements without using plugins. Along the way, you'll develop your Paint Shop Pro skills.

Each week you'll work through the lesson and complete a small assignment to practice your new skills, posting your creations in the class gallery. We'll also schedule a few chats during the course, where you can ask questions and we can work on a project related to the lessons.
