Hi guys, it’s finally here!! Our newest Online eCourse with Emily Martin is Open! This is the Beginner’s Photoshop Elements Vintage Digital Design eCourse, that we have been talking about for the last couple of months, it’s finally ready!
This is a fantastic 8 Hour Course with Emily Martin! Emily teaches you all of her favorite tricks, tips and techniques so that you can successfully explore the world of Vintage Digital Design, without leaving your home!
We will be offering this 8 Hour Video course for the amazing low price of just $59!
Would you like to see a preview of the Course Introduction? Just watch the video below as Emily discusses what’s in store for the Class!
Here’s what Emily wants you to know about this Course:
What I love about digital design is the freedom it affords me. Nothing is permanent. There are no mistakes. You don’t have to worry about buying or ruining expensive supplies if my experimentation runs awry…..which it sometimes does!
Digital design is also unexpected. You can change the entire look of a composition by playing with layers and blending them.
Digital design is also a vacation. One can spend hours upon hours playing and designing. You can find artistic inspiration in anything and bring it to life on your computer!
There is no time limit to the course, so you can go at your own pace, and refer back to it whenever you like, for many years to come!
We will begin our journey with basic skills and techniques. I’ll give you the tips & tricks to set up your workspace so you can get to what you need. We will explore the editing modes and how to set up your screen for success. We will work on the basics, like resizing images, rotating images, and cropping.
We’ll then explore the power of layers and more complex tasks like making selections, blending modes, opacity, and adjustments. Then we will talk about image corrections like uneven textures, yellowed images, and dull or muted images. I have added two bonus sections on brushes and patterns so you can learn to make those on your own.
Finally, we will tackle five full scale projects. We will discuss everything from image selection, to composition, to color palette. We will walk through the entire creation process, talking through the exact edits, adjustments, and layers used to create each final product. I will provide you with all necessary files so you can follow along!
I’m so excited to share this course with you! I feel that I have created a course that can help you benefit from my long and winding (and still ongoing) journey with digital design. You will learn the basics, helpful shortcuts, and more advanced techniques to help you create your own gorgeous works of art!
Here some of the gorgeous projects that you will learn to make with the skills that you will learn in this course:
We hope to see you in class!

Will an older edition of PSE work for what’s being taught?

Hi Helene,
We are so glad that you are interested in our PSE Beginner’s class! If you are wondering if you will be able to follow the class, with your current version of either Photoshop Elements, or the full version of Photoshop… the best advice we can give would be to watch the video below, that is a free PSE lesson and see if you are able to follow along with the version that you have. If you can follow it, then you will know that you can take the course, as it is an actual excerpt from the Ecourse!

I would love to register, but when I click on any of the links from this page, the workshop page doesn’t load. Is anyone else having difficulty or is it just me?
Laura says
I just registered…yay!
graphicsfairy says
Yay Laura!! So exciting 🙂
Cheryl says
This looks lovely. Unfortunately it’s out of my price range right now, since Id have to start from zero, with the PE15 and even a good printer. Maybe at some later time. But I’ll be cheering you all on from the sidelines. Happy creating.
Emily says
That’s very sweet of you, thank you!
Nancy says
I have PSE 15. Will your class correspond to this version of PSE?
Emily says
Yes, It’s filmed using Photoshop Elements 15 that came out in the fall of 2016. ?
Nancy says
Emily,
I have photo Shop Elements 15. Will your class material correspond to that version of PSE?
Emily says
Yes, It’s filmed using Photoshop Elements 15 that came out in the fall of 2016. 🙂
Hayley says
How much is Photo Shop elements, how is it different to adobe photo shop and can i apply what you teach to the likes of Serif and Gimp ?
Thank you

Hi Hayley,
I asked Emily who is the course creator and instructor your questions. Here is her response, “Elements is like a Photoshop lite version. I like it as I feel it’s easier to understand as a beginner and there aren’t as many overwhelming extra options as there are in regular Photoshop. Photoshop tends to be used by those who produce images professionally, but plenty of people use Photoshop Elements for professional projects too. There is a table in this post that has a good list of what specific functions are included and different between Photoshop Elements and regular Photoshop (it’s referred to as Photoshop CC): http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/community/b/tsblog/archive/2017/01/5/adobe-photoshop-elements-15-vs-adobe-photoshop-cc.aspx. Ignore the pricing row on that table.
I’d check Amaazon.com for Photoshop Elements — the price usually ranges between $65 to $99; depending if it’s on sale at the moment. You’ll either download the program on to your computer, or you will purchase a physical disk.
As for the full version of Photoshop (Photoshop CC), if you go to adobe.com, you’ll see that Photoshop CC is cloud-based and you pay a subscription fee for it monthly ($19.99 I think). You used to be able to buy the disks, but they no longer offer disks for the full Photoshop CC; but whenever there are updates you automatically get them when you log in to the cloud (as long as you have an active subscription).
I haven’t used Serif & Gimp myself. The lessons in the course go through how to do different things using the menus & options in Photoshop Elements software. As Serif & Gimp are different software, it’s really like comparing apples & oranges. Some of the software capabilities (shadows, layering images, changing colors etc.) may be things you can do across the different programs, but how you go about doing it may be completely different & I’m just showing you the menus you need and how to do it in Photoshop Elements.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 vs. Adobe Photoshop CC, http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/community/b/tsblog/archive/2017/01/5/adobe-photoshop-elements-15-vs-adobe-photoshop-cc.aspx
I hope that helps 🙂
