Sometimes I think I'd need Beginner. Somedays, Intermediate. I'd have to flip a coin. I know there are some basic things I need to know, so probably the Beginner class.

I'm very decisive like this all the time, sorta.

Angie May 24, 2010 5:05 PM  

This is PERFECT since I just downloaded PSE for the very first time on Friday. I'm a beginner and would love her beginner workshop!!!

allisonhoffman May 24, 2010 5:05 PM  

I would love the intermediate class!!

Tessa May 24, 2010 5:21 PM  

I have PSE on my mac but I've hardly touched it because I have no idea where to start! I'd be interested in the beginners workshop and then later on I'd definitely be interested in purchasing the others, especially the all about actions. I'm excited! Hope I win =)

Jill May 24, 2010 5:31 PM  

Oh, I would register for the intermediate class!

Marcee May 24, 2010 5:33 PM  

I would LOVE to take the intermediate class! Thanks for the awesome give-away:)

Sue May 24, 2010 5:39 PM  

I am so clueless about PSE so I would LOVE to win the Beginners class!

Courtneyscrapper May 24, 2010 6:02 PM  

I would love to take the intermediate class! Thanks for the chance!!

Lyndsay May 24, 2010 6:24 PM  

Oh man, on man. I would love to win this class. Even though I've had PSE on my computer since December, I still think I'm a beginner. Thanks for the chance to win!

alaskamommy May 24, 2010 6:27 PM  

All About Actions! I'd love to really quickly edit photos and feel happy about them, and I think knowing which actions to use would be key.

Yea! I am so excited about this opportunity! What a great idea. I signed up for the intermediate class, and I'm hoping I didn't get in over my head. =) We shall see! Thanks for the awesome give-away!

Supercraftygirl May 24, 2010 6:41 PM  

I think the Intermediate class would be great to take! Even if I don't win, I may have to take it anyway!

Kristi W @ Life at the Chateau Whitman May 24, 2010 6:46 PM  

I would really like the intermediate class. :)

Just Me May 24, 2010 6:58 PM  

Since I am self taught I think taking all three might be a good idea!

Jan May 24, 2010 7:05 PM  

I'd love to win Amanda's class on actions! They sound great. My email address is mtnviewpottery@yahoo.com.

Amanda May 24, 2010 7:07 PM  

I would love to be in the Intermediate OR All About Actions! I need them both!

the aunt who always has gum May 24, 2010 7:09 PM  

Sounds like the intermediate class is right up my alley!

weeone0506 at yahoo dot com

Amy May 24, 2010 7:22 PM  

I feel like I am getting better with pse, so I would most likely register for the Intermediate class.

This is a great opportunity! Thanks to you and to Amanda for offering the chance to win a spot.

J May 24, 2010 7:28 PM  

I'm all about the intermediate class too! I think I've got a good enough understanding of PSE for it :)

jillconyers May 24, 2010 7:37 PM  

I would love to take the intermediate class, but my first choice would be the All About Actions. It's all about time (or the lack of) and actions often help quicken the process. Awesome!

TOLIVER FAMILY May 24, 2010 7:47 PM  

beginner for me! hopewill at hotmail dot com

Mandy May 24, 2010 8:00 PM

Pam May 24, 2010 9:24 PM  

I would love the intermediate class!!

Sarah May 24, 2010 9:29 PM  

I would definitely need the beginner's class. I have found trial and error on PSE to be very trying and would love to win a class to help keep what sanity I have left!

Christi May 24, 2010 9:41 PM  

I would love to win either the intermediate class or the class for actions. Thanks!
