Frequently asked question
Here are a few answers to our most common questions
Do I need a high-end computer? What about a tablet?
You will need a computer capable of running at least a relatively recent version of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, with sufficient memory and storage to accommodate working on and saving up to multi-gigabyte files.
Although you can work your way through the entire course without a graphics tablet by using a multi-button mouse, it is highly recommended if you plan to retouch a lot of images to invest in a decent graphics tablet as they make the entire process more accurate and efficient.
