Trainer Jon Bayley's started his Managing Your Digital Photos course seven years ago and it's popularity with members still exists. This week was Week 1 of yet another MYDP course for another lot of students, keen to learn skills to help them to download pics from a camera, correct and enhance them, and to store them safely.
Students first day is learning a basic understanding of some relevant technical stuff - like setting their camera's time and date, aspect ratio, zoom range and other camera settings.
Next, Jon showed the students a short video of Peter Blasina - The Gadget Man explaining how pixel count is not the only factor in determining image quality, its also image sensor size and lens quality that pay a big part.
Next weeks class will be spent learning to use Picasa 3.1, a free program from Google that is simple to use to crop and brighten photos, get rid of red-eye with one click, and has many other features.
