For this class I will be demonstrating using Photoshop Elements (PSE).

This is a simpler version of Photoshop with more than enough features for this technique.  If you already own the full Photoshop program all the functions you need can be found within it

There is a 30 day FREE TRIAL available HERE and I suggest that you download this first and see if it suits your needs following my instructions. If you find it does not suit your needs, there are many other programs (some listed below) that you might find more suitable. 

In this class I will be showing you the techniques I use to distill an image to its basic elements in order to translate those shapes to fabrics.
