"I have managed several
computer technology training organizations in both the federal government
and private sector as well as acted as a technology instructor myself. I
have been in technology and related training for over 20 years. Bottom
line - Mark is one of the best technology instructors I have ever
encountered."

"I just wanted to thank you
for the Digital Perfection class. It has been very, very useful to me. I'd
say I use at least one of the "tricks" learned in that class each and
every day now and my images have been looking much better. I'm
recommending your workshops to everyone I talk to. Thanks!"

"Mark, Thanks for opening the
door to Photoshop for me. The tools you gave me allowed me to increase the
quality and speed in which I work in my digital darkroom. I feel like I
went from a toddler to a college graduate in our short time together. Your
patience and clarity were the best teachers for me."

Workshops, Classes & Private
Photoshop Training
When
most of us got into photography there were lots of knowledgeable people
who could act as mentors for us. In this digital age much of the
information is so new and constantly changing that mentors are hard to
come by. At The Digital Darkroom we will act as your mentor and your guide
as you explore our new photographic paradigm.
All training is done by Mark Fitzgerald who
is an Adobe Certified Photoshop Instructor.
We support Mac & PC!

workshop picks up where Photoshop 1 leaves off. In Beyond the Basics you
will learn the skills necessary to take your photography to the next
level. You’ll also learn creative techniques that will allow you to
complete the vision you had when you clicked the shutter. Once you have
