Are you ready to take charge and learn simple, quick, and efficient methods for creating and editing powerful images for print and the web?
Whether you are an employee, business owner, content creator, teacher, author, or social media maven, over the last few years it has become CRUCIAL to know how to do a little bit of everything online. With this course as your guide, you'll learn how to confidentially and professionally manage your OWN unique, original images for your website, blog, eCourse, eBook, presentations, or social media pages.
Save time, money, and sanity by learning how to finally choose, edit, and enhance your own images without having to always pay someone else to do the most basic but essential tasks for you.
This course was created especially for complete beginners as well as people who fight with technology who want to gain new and valuable image editing skills that can be used every day.
The techniques discussed in this course are software independent, meaning I can show you how to make better, more professional images regardless of which software programs you are using. You'll learn essential imaging do's and don'ts, tips about which images are safe to use regarding copyrights, how to properly save your images (so you don't lose them in the abyss,) and my very favorite "art school" hacks that will help take your images from so-so to PRO in no time even if you don't yet have Photoshop or Gimp.
We'll then go through the most basic but important imaging skills you NEED to know from the very beginning using Adobe Photoshop. Free 30 day trials of Photoshop are available from Adobe's website. I also show you the same imaging techniques in the FREE software program GIMP.
You can watch and follow along with me as I show you how to make the most useful and essential image fixes in whichever program you have or feel most comfortable in. If you ever decide to switch, you'll have all the lessons available to you in BOTH Photoshop and GIMP as one go-to resource.

GOOD WORK!
The course ended pretty fast. Good course if you're not looking to go deep on diverse GIMP techniques for image fixes. Well, I guess this is expected since the course title states 'quick and easy'.
I have never used GIMP before and this was a very informative course. Kristen takes the time to explain the essential tools needed to quickly produce great images which meet desired criteria. This helped me save a lot of time sifting through lengthy GIMP tutorials which touch on not so often used image editing techniques. Nice course!
I have learned about aspects of images I had not thought about prior, and I already see where I can make improvements to my existing use of images.
