*~ The Beginner's Workshop ~*

In July 2004, I was honored to join the BW team as a mentor.
I retired after spending 3 wonderful years with this organization,
but will always cherish the time I spent, and the friends I made, with people from all over the globe.

Come check it out!
It's free, it's fun and they'll teach you the basics of how to use PhotoImpact.

*~ PI Newbies ~*

I completed the PI Newbies course in 2005.
These lessons were more for the older versions of PI,
but I had fun finding ways to make them work in PI 10.

Update May 2005:
I'm very sad to say that Deb DeHaven, owner of PI Newbies, is no longer with us.
She was ill and was taken from us far too early. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband and children.
It's unsure what will happen to her group and many tutorials, but I'm hopeful that they will live on.
She was a very talented, creative, kind and helpful person
and the PI community will be less for having lost her, but is so much more for having known her.
Good-bye Deb, and thanks :)

Update May 2006:
It's been a year since Deb DeHaven was taken from us and her many online friends have worked together
with her husband David to create a wonderful memorial for her.
You can read about Deb at the PhotoImpact International Board's In The Spotlight section.
Her many tutorials and creations can now be found, hosted by the PIRC:

Dia's PI Newbies Too!

Another wonderful (and active) PI group is Dia's PI Newbies Too!

Although I didn't finish the course, I enjoyed working with Dia.
