Do I have to live in the United States to take the class?

Not at all. The class is taught completely online, and at convenient times for people all around the world. I have had students from North America, South America, Asia, The Middle East, Europe, and Australia. Everyone was able to learn!

What happens if I miss a class?

All the classes are recorded and placed in an archive for you to view whenever you'd like! So if you miss a class or 5, you will be able to catch up!

What if I am not sure what level to take?

Send me an e-mail at aknacer@gmail.com and we will figure it out. If you think you are in the wrong level at the beginning of class, it is no problem to switch classes!

Can I have access to your .PSD files after class?

No problem! Anything I can give you to help you learn I will gladly provide!

What if I have questions about cameras/lighting. Will you help?

I love helping out anyone who has questions with lighting. I know it can be a big confusing world, and I am more than willing to help out. In fact, I am developing a class based just on lighting!

Can I get your digits?

Darn right you can. 919-225-1104

What version of photoshop do I need?

Digital Enhancement is taught using Adobe Photoshop CS3. If you have another version of Photoshop, the layout will be different but all the principles remain the same. I have had students use everything from Photoshop Elements to Photoshop 7, to Photoshop CS4, and everyone was able to learn! If you do not own Photoshop, you can download a 30 day trial HERE

If you are a student, educator, or even the parent of a student you qualify for a $699 discount on Photoshop HERE

Do I need any other programs?

We do chat during class, and for this we use Skpye, which can be downloaded for free HERE. Other than that, the service I use to broadcast my screen and teleconference is completely web based. All you have to do is sign into a web address I give you, and you are ready to participate!

Do I need previous experience with Photoshop?

No previous experience is needed for the basic classes, for the more advanced classes, it is beneficial to have some previous experience. Many people start out in the beginner class and move up to the advanced level after their first month.

How long have you done this?

I have used Photoshop and other graphic intensive programs such as Maya, StudioTools, 3D Studio Max, and Illustrator professionally for over seven years. I work full time as a professional photographer as well as a digital retoucher and artist. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Industrial Design from the College of Design at NC State University.
