I am new to Photoshop CS….a evening course if offered on Photoshop Elements. would it be a good idea to take such a course…. is there any similarity between the two
Yes, in terms of the tools and basic concepts, there is a lot of overlap between Elements and Photoshop, and most of what you learn about Elements will carry right over to Photoshop. OTOH, I’m not sure the cost of buying elements 3 and paying for the class is such a good deal financially. OTOH you might be able to get by with your copy of Photoshop CS.
I’d suggest that you also check out some of the online classes for CS. These provide good structure, with homework, and some interraction with the instructor and other students via email. There is a surprising amount of social interraction and after a while you feel like you know the people.
The cost of such an online class is very nominal – in one case the cost is $20 for five sessions spread out over 5 weeks. Do a google for photoshop cs online class.
