What a disaster…..a few practical lessons, and when it comes to using the computer – we couldn’t! The computers have been replaced with newer ones, which I’m not complaining about, and they have really nice flat screens too, but the software we use, Paint Shop Pro, wasn’t installed on them, but instead the Adobe suite of packages, including PhotoShop.
I’ve used Corel Paint Shop Pro, as it’s current version is titled, for several years now, and have compared it to the Adobe products, and it is easier, clearer to understand, more intuitive and simple! To teach Photoshop would go against the grain, so I had to have a word with the centre staff. My lesson for the night was scuppered, and instead we had an informal discussion about how to take photographs in the dark, in view of us visiting the Cardiff Winter Wonderland next Tuesday evening.

Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3 and the recently updated X3 Ultimate Edition.
Anyway, putting this glitch aside, we had a reasonable lesson, taking about next weeks visit to the city. The most vital thing that will be needed is a tripod. In low light conditions, a tripod is required to ensure that the photographs are not blurred.
Here are a selection of hints and tips which I have found on the Internet:
For those in class…..don’t forget, on the steps of the museum, Tuesday 30th November at 6:45-7:00pm! Wrap up warm, it’s going to be chilly!
