What equipment will I need?
You need a camera for all of our courses, but the simplest SLR is good enough. Even point-and-shoot cameras can handle most of the assignments. We encourage serious photographers to invest in a tripod when taking the Professional Photography Course. Other than some film, that's about all the photo equipment you'll need. (We urge you not to buy any additional equipment until you've completed the first two units of the Course.)
You will also need access to a DVD player, an audiocassette player, and an audio CD player.
The good news is you do not need a darkroom; you can use commercially processed prints for all the lessons if you choose.
For the Complete Digital Photography Course: Adobe Photoshop for Photographers, you will need the full version of Adobe Photoshop software, version 6 or over. Please note: Adobe Photoshop Elements or Photoshop Lite will not be sufficient for this course. We also suggest a photo-quality inkjet model of printer and a good quality scanner. You will also need a computer that can read the Course CD-ROMs and run Adobe Photoshop You can use either a Mac or Windows computer with theses minimum system requirements:
Windows 98, ME, XP Home/Business; Intel 3 or 4 or faster processor; minimum of 128 MB of RAM; display minimum: 16-Bit; preferred: 32-Bit; CD-ROM drive; Sound card recommended for viewing interactive tutorial files.
Mac OS 8.6-9.2 and X in classic mode; PowerPC based processor G-3 or faster; minimum of 128 MB of RAM; display minimum: thousands of colors; preferred: millions of colors; CD-ROM drive.
