The workshops will be given by Craig Ingle, who is president of DPICS Digital Imaging, a company that specializes in digital photography, image editing and color printing. They will be given following our monthly CQA meetings in September and October, 2008 at Seattle Pacific University, Bertona Classrooms, 103 W. Bertona (at the corner of Nickerson), Seattle, WA. Workshops will be limited to 25 people, with priority for CQA members. Two weeks prior to the workshop, non-CQA members may register if space is available, with a $25 fee. If there is sufficient demand, one or both workshops will be repeated. CQA members who have registered for a workshop but who do not attend will be charged a $25 fee. A waiting list will be maintained, and efforts will be made to fill any cancellations. Register for the workshops with Deborah Gregory: DebKGreg@aol.com. For non-CQA members, the $25 fee should be sent to Deborah at: 12509 SE 19th St., Bellevue WA 98005. September 13, 2008, 1:45 pm This class will cover the basics of photo editing.
