Rather than simply settle into the short work week after the Labor Day holiday, plan to join us on Tuesday, September 7 at 7:30 pm for a free workshop on how to create digital slideshows of your images. Impress your family and friends with your digital images, displayed in a fast-moving and lively manner - complete with title slides, movement and music! Using Photoshop Elements software, we'll provide step-by-step instructions that will allow you to immediately return home and start creating slideshows of your own. In fact, we hope you do - because we've set aside our regular Friday night meeting on October 1 to give you a chance to show them off if you wish! This event is free and open to all without advance registration. Hope to see YOU here!
Photoshop Editing Class Starts Soon!
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Fundamentals class that began on September 1 is full and no additional registrations are being accepted. Seats remain available for the Photoshop course beginning on September 18. Another round of class sessions will begin again in early January - watch this space for details.
Our popular Fundamentals of Good Photography and Photoshop Digital Photo Editing classes will begin again in September - and seats are going fast! These courses provide the solid, in-depth background needed to make the most of your photography and offer plenty of opportunity for personalized instruction. Enrollment in both courses is limited. Full details, a copy of the Fall session brochure and an enrollment application can be found on the School page of this website. Don't put it off - enroll today!

Learn About the Bucket List
CPS is privileged to have been afforded the opportunity to pariticpate in the publication of a photography book by noted author David Busch.
