The room contains 28 Apple computers that have new software.<br \/>\nThe Photoshop classes focus on photo repair, layout and design, collages, and applying light, shadow and color to images, to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>[portfolio_slideshow id=9633]<\/p>\n<p>Most photography classes often have open availability said Garland.<br \/>\nDirected study is an independent study class to help photography enthusiasts learn by creating. The credit varies from half a unit to nine based on the student\u2019s work.<br \/>\nAll photography classes offered at SJCC are 3-unit, transferable classes except directed study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photography exposes students to an alternative art class The hallways of the third and fourth floors of the Technology Center display student photos that capture fashion, style, political issues and photography fundamentals.
