The Beginners Workshop (PhotoImpact)

Activities
This is a brief overview of what you can expect when you join the Beginner's Workshop. We have broken the projects down into three levels. The tutorials were selected based on their level of complexity and become increasingly more difficult as you work your way through the workshop. As you complete each level and pass the test, you will receive a personalized certificate of completion. When you complete all projects in the workshop, you will receive a graduation cap graphic and printable 8.5x11 certificate that is suitable for framing.

All projects (other than activities and challenges) are posted on the BW Bulletin Board where all other members will also see your work. Please visit the Bulletin Board for information on how to be part of this wonderful group!

Level 1 Projects
On the first level, you will learn where to find things in PhotoImpact, how to use many of the basic tools, how to organize your files, use the layer manager, and other essential tools. You will find our Tool Tyme tutorial series to be very helpful.

Level 2 Projects
These projects are a bit more challenging. You will learn how to make use masks, objects and various ways to frame your images and other techniques that will allow you to create your own graphics.

Level 3 Projects
Level 3 introduces you to basic photo editing, the wonderful world of animation using only PhotoImpact and concludes with you creating your own web page using PhotoImpact.

When you reach the second level, you will need to join the PhotoImpact International Bulletin Board, where you will participate in several Activities. You are invited to join the PI-I Bulletin Board at any time, even if you don't join us at Beginner's Workshop! Please note that there will be a waiting period of at least one week (sometimes a little longer) before being assigned to the next available mentor. You will not be able to post during this time.
