Pam Baldwin is a fantastic teacher!! I've been frustrated with Photoshop Elements for so long. Pam's Text Tricks class taught me A LOT in a very short period of time. I'm super grateful and am looking forward to employing my new skills!
Pam Baldwin was the only reason I signed up for Big Picture Classes! I have learned more from her two classes I've taken than years of online searching and fumbling trying to figure it out myself.

This is my first Big Picture class in many years. The content was very useful and Pam did an awesome job of covering the material. She shared a lot of tips and tricks that I will be playing with a lot in the future. Thanks Pam for a 5 star job on this class.
