Have you ever heard photographers talk about frequency separation, cloning, changing a shirt color, replacing skies, etc., and wondered how in the world they do that?? If so this is the class for you! During this 4 week class we will explore and unlock the magic of Photoshop with comprehensive step by step pdfs and videos. You will walk away from this class knowing how to achieve your vision in post processing using techniques that push past your normal workflow and allow you to enhance and manipulate images. Mickie will record video critiques for each FP participant each week. The video critiques will allow Mickie to not only tell you what she loves about your photo, but also show you some tips specific to your image.
4 weeks
daily processing encouraged
6 hours of work per week
this course has prerequisites
Photoshop software – Mickie uses the latest version of Photoshop CC, but any version CS5 or above should work for most concepts.
Mickie DeVries Mickie DeVries is a hobbyist photographer living in West Michigan. She is the mother of two, and a wife. Mickie concentrates on capturing her everyday, along with environmental portraits of her two children. The main focus of her artistic intent is centered around capturing children being children. Mickie's portfolio is available here.
The following photographers also participate in discussions and provide assignment critiques as teaching assistants:
A number of course alumni are invited to engage in discussion, share insight with students, and provide feedback and encouragement throughout the course.
• 5 PDFs
• 51 videos
• sky overlays, textures, and a light overlay
• Instructor-Led Online Q&A for Each Lesson
Study Along students will have access to all materials and will be able to view all content and conversation in the main workshop forum and receive access to their own private subforum for peer study groups and image shares. Study along students will not be able to ask the instructor questions or request instructor feedback on their assignments.
Welcome & Preassignment
Please check the forum 1-2 weeks before class begins to get started on the preassignment. The preassignment introduces layers and masking. It is helpful to have read through this information before week 1 begins. Introduce yourself and read the pdf, and watch the preassignment videos on layers and masking.
Lesson One:
Reading: In week 1 we will explore ways to enhance eyes, whiten teeth, smooth skin, and use liquify. We'll also make, modify, and install actions.
Assignment: Make your own action or modify an existing one and pick one or more concepts from the week 1 lesson to edit one of your photos.
Lesson Two:
Reading: We'll learn how to clone, how to extend your canvas and how to perform head swaps.
Assignment: Post an image that you used a cloning method to strengthen your photo along with the sooc shot. Post an image where you swapped heads also with the sooc shots involved.
Lesson Three:
Reading: In week 3 we will explore how to change the tones and colors in an image. This week will also cover how to add a matte finish to your edits and how to pop the color in your images.
Assignment: Post a before and after of an image where you manipulated the tones of the image. Post a before and after image where you corrected a problem area in your image such as neon grass, a color cast, or changed the color of an object in your image.
Lesson Four:
Reading: In week 4 we cover how to add sky, atmosphere, light, and texture overlays and how to modify and blend them. We also explore different blur filters to add interesting effects to your images. Lastly we explore the many uses for the warp command including but not limited to making hills out of flat land.
Assignment: Post a photo that you replaced the sky in, include your sooc shot also. Post a photo that uses a texture overlay, atmospheric overlay, or a light overlay. Post a photo that you either used a filter or warp technique to strengthen your shot.
Will you teach a beginning to end workflow in this class?
While I do have a bonus video in week 4 that shows my complete workflow, this class concentrates on specific skills in photoshop. Think of it as more of a tips & tricks class rather than start to finish editing in photoshop. If you are looking for start to finish editing in photoshop you might want to take Pure Photoshop before taking this class to get more of a workflow down first. I do however also address any overall editing issues in the full participation video critiques each week even if the editing moves past the material taught that week to give a more well rounded critique.
I've never opened Photoshop before, is this class for me?
The material is written for a beginner and steps you through each skill taught with step by step pdf's with screenshots for each step. There are also corresponding videos to all concepts taught. If you have no prior experience with photoshop plan on spending more time with the material practicing, as working in photoshop is the key to mastering it.
What is the difference between Pure Photoshop and Unlocking the Magic of Photoshop?
Pure Photoshop concentrates on a clean workflow that gives a solid foundation for start to finish editing. It also covers the "why" behind color space, clipping, brightness values, color channels, etc. and goes into detail about layers, masking, and the photoshop tools.
Unlocking the Magic of Photoshop demonstrates and teaches very specific concepts in photoshop and does not concentrate on a workflow. Layers and masking are covered in the preassignment week and are reinforced throughout the course, the rest of the concepts taught can be found in the syllabus. This class concentrates less on the "why" things work the way they do in Photoshop and more on dramatic transformations.
I am a Lightroom user and want to be able to do the things in Photoshop that I can't do in Lightroom is this class for me?
Yes! I use lightroom and photoshop together and love how they compliment each other. This class will not cover the lightroom side of editing, but there are some supporting videos to make sure you can properly get your images into photoshop from lightroom and back seamlessly. It's a perfect fit for the lightroom user that wants to have more flexibility with editing by using photoshop.

Whether you're brand new to Photoshop or have been using it for years this workshop is amazing!! I've been a Photoshop user for 20 years, all self taught, so I initially hesitated taking Micke DeVries' course because I wasn't sure if it would have enough new content for me personally. Wow was I SO wrong!! I learned something new every week – even in the pre-assignment!!! :) I'm walking away from this course with pages of notes, an arsenal of new tools to add to my tool belt and a world of confidence every time I open my "To edit" folder. My shooting is even stronger because I start with a better vision in mind. This is honestly one of the best investments I've made in photography and my only regret is not taking it sooner!!
This class is hands-down amazing. Amazing instructor and amazing content. I was not a new PS user prior to this class, and I still learned A TON! Full participation is the way to go – Mickie is so kind and helpful in her critiques, and those critiques are really what pushed my growth. It was definitely my favorite part of the whole class! I would take this class over and over again! I can't rave about it enough.
I'm just finishing up the latest run of Unlock the Magic of Photoshop and it has been amazing! Prior to this course I had used Photoshop sparingly and quite honestly it was really overwhelming to me. Unless there was no way I could do something in Lightroom I avoided PS at all costs. I took this course as a full participant and having the feedback and critiques has been so helpful. Mickie and our TA Kellie Bieser have been very active and so have the alumni helpers and fellow students. There is a ton of information covered and I know that I will be utilizing the PDFs and videos long after this class ends. I found the step by step videos particularly helpful. When I was working on a skill I could follow along on the video, pause, work on my own photo and go back and forth. Mickie also does a great job at mentioning different issues that may come up and explaining how to tackle those which helps a lot when you are learning a new skill and a bit overwhelmed. And if for some reason you get stuck on something, you can very easily get some help in the forum. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed in Photoshop or just looking to hone your skills, I can't recommend this course enough!
This class has been a game changer for my editing! Prior to this class I was scared to open up PS. Mickie's PDF is clear and concise and her videos walk you through each step of the editing process. I am so thankful that I read through prior reviews for this class and took it full participation. Mickie gives 110% in the forum and her critiques provide a wealth of information. If you're hesitant to use PS in your editing, do yourself a favor and sign up for the next run…you won't regret it!
This is a must for everyone. PS is such a massive undertaking and Mickie showed me how to use it in a practical way. I am feeling so much more confident in my abilities with it, and I love the results so much more when I incorporate it into my workflow. This class isn't just another "let me show you what these tools do" and nothing else. Mickie shows how the tools can be used to give your photos a more finished look. The videos are so educational and the good thing is, they're broken down in a way that I can come back to them over and over, and find them easily. I highly recommend this course.
If you are afraid of using Photoshop in your workflow like I was, sign up for Mickie's class today! I cannot say enough positive things about this workshop. Truly a MUST TAKE class. The materials are thorough and the topics are taught and explained into great detail. Not sure if you're understanding something correctly or experiencing issues with an edit? Ask Mickie! I don't think there was a single question asked that she was not able to answer.
I think you get the most of of this class by daily practice. Mickie and her lovely TA's answer questions etc on a daily basis so if you run into an issue, there's help close-by. What worked well for me was editing along Mickie's video's and then trying it myself after.
Mickie covers a lot of material and the first week was a little overwhelming for me as a complete PS newbie but once I worked my way through those materials, a world a magic truly does open. I can now edit my images in ways I did not know where possible. Who knew cloning could be so much fun? :-)
This class is a total game changer. Not only does Mickie teach you everything from the very beginning, but she does it in a patient, thorough way and gets you beyond the confusion. The basics alone have made such a difference in my editing! Now I know the power of masking! What a difference that alone makes! Playing with color, blurs, enhancing skies, adding light rays and overlays – it is really super fun and addictive…be prepared to want to spend a lot more time in front of your computer perfecting your images! I absolutely LOVED this class.
This is course is one of the best I've ever taken. Mickie gives you so much information. Photoshop has always seem so intimidating for me and Mickie dispelled that view. She will give you a lot of great critique. If there's something you are having a hard time achieving, she will make a video and show you how to achieve the look you want, and she'll do it using your own image. This is the course to take if you want to take your editing skills to the next level
I learned how to edit with LR about a year ago, and while I love it, I really wanted to learn both LR and Photoshop so I could use both programs when needed. PS always seemed so overwhelming to me–layers and flattening, all those buttons and tabs. I had no idea where to start. Mickie's course really took all of the guesswork out of the equation. She provides thorough explanations and examples. I was surprised to see her in one of the videos–she demonstrated how PS works by stacking transparencies on top of each other as a way for us to visualize layers. It was SO helpful in building my understanding of what I viewed as a very complicated program. She's also quick to upload additional videos for people as questions come up which are really informative. I also really appreciated how she structured her PDFs and videos–you basically read a short section of the PDF and then watch an accompanying video and then can practice the skill on provided pictures. It is such an effective way to teach. Thanks Mickie for a great class!
Unlocking the Magic of Photoshop definitely lives up to its name. Mickie revealed a treasure trove of ways to do things in Photoshop that empowered us to make our photos match our vision. I never knew about frequency separation, even would have thought I'd ever use it to retouch and refine human skin before taking this class. Most of the items on the toolbar in Photoshop were just pictures to me, I didn't know what the icons stood for, and for some of the ones I recognized, I didn't know how to use them. Week by week we learned what many of the tools are, and how to use them in everyday photographic situations that we could relate to our own work. Prior to taking both this class, I was intimidated by Photoshop and all the features so I rarely used it. Now I use much more routinely and have fun using it! If you want to learn to use Photoshop like a guru take this class, you won't regret it!
I highly recommend Mickie's class! I had a tiny bit of knowledge of Photoshop before this class, but now I can finally say that I am comfortable using it as a part of my editing process. Mickie shared so many videos to guide us through using PS & she also showed us several different ways to do things. Before this class I found things like adding a sky overlay or cloning large objects so intimidating & impossible really. But now I get excited to try all the new techniques I've learned! Thanks so much Mickie!
Magic is right. This class can really transform your photos and give your work such an incredible boost! The videos seem to be an endless wealth of knowledge! (Seriously… I haven't even watched them all yet!) Mickie is such a generous instructor with her time and knowledge. I have learned so much from her, but the thing I wanted most, was the ability to add skies, suns, and flares. I mastered that and I'm thrilled! Thank you for an awesome class, Mickie!
Before class, I completely relied on actions for editing, never really knowing how to put MY fingerprint on my images. Thank You to Mickie, Kellie, and all of the wonderful Alumni Helpers, because of their honest and thorough critiques, they have given me complete confidence in my editing skills and I am now able to complete my final vision from start to finish. This is a MUST take class! It is jam packed with detailed how-to videos and written content to help you create magic in this powerful program, Photoshop and take your editing to the next level. Mickie is most attentive, responsive and her devotion to help you succeed is second to none!! Don't think twice! Sign up NOW!! Thanks again @mickiedev for such an AMAZING workshop!!
This is a fabulous course, full of information & instructional videos which will be a great resource for future reference. I have downloaded everything I can and I have found watching the other students critiques also very informative. However, for me, what set this course apart from the many other PS course on the internet is the level of personal instruction available, Mickie's time commitment is amazing, I wish I had been able to commit more time myself to take greater advantage of this opportunity to get personal assistance. Thank you Mickie & I will certainly take any other course you may offer in the future.
This is one MUST TAKE class here on CM. I knew my way around LR pretty well, and had put off taking PS, thinking I could teach myself PS slowly over time. Wrong! Every video (from other sites) that I watched didn't start teaching from the beginning, nor was there anyone to help when I couldn't get my screen to do what the video was demonstrating. Then I took this class-full participation. It is packed FULL of learning, and Mickie is one of the most attentive instructors I have had here on CM. She encouraged sharing screen shots if you were "stuck" and she was always a short time away to help get me on track. Her generous CC for even the simplest daily shares was invaluable for training me to see more objectively. And the transformations from all the participants was nothing short of amazing. The creativity potential that she has opened our eyes to is mind blowing. You need to take this class!
I can't say enough how much I recommend this class. Mickie really knows her craft and she is such a great instructor full of information, tips, and always with an answer to every question. The material that comes with the class syllabus is just great and she offers extra videos and demonstrations. I'm really glad I registered for this course and now I have the ability to take my editing process to another level with the use of this powerful tool. I recommend the full participation if possible as Mickie's critiques are so complete and helpful!!
Amazing! I felt like I got my money's worth with this class. I have been trying to learn photoshop for years. I've subscribed to numerous YouTube channels, bought more books than I would like to admit, and "follow" social media groups to soak up anything I can. Although I am a highly self-motivated person, I have not been successful in teaching myself photoshop. By the second week of this class, I was feeling so confident and no longer intimated by photoshop. Prior to this class, I would open up photoshop, click around on layers and some of the tools, cringe, then close the image and hit "don't save". Now, I can look at a picture and think of ways I can enhance it. I'm not saying I'm a pro in 4 weeks, but I can say that I finally understand the program! I have since watched a YouTube tutorial and actually understood what they were doing! Time to crack open the stack of photoshop books on my desk :). Mickie's style of teaching is fantastic. She is detailed, patient, and attentive. The material is SO great, easy to follow and organized very well. The video critiques blew me away, she addressed all my concerns and it felt like she was sitting right next to me. Can't say enough good things about Mickie and this class.
I concur with all that has been said about this workshop. It is a real game changer! I highly recommend it, you won't regret it. I have taken a lot of workshops, and yes it was really worth it. I would recommend to take it as a FP if you can, as the feedbacks, and the QA help a lot. Mickie adds also some videos based on the diffiuclties you can face during the workshops, it is very interactive. Mickie is a wonderful teacher, and Kellie as TA is super helpful too.
Do not hesitate if you are interested in PS capabilities.
I am so sad it is finished, and so happy to have this solid foundation that will enable me to continue my PS journey.
Taking this class has definitely given me the freedom to take more creative license with my images! I loved learning about PS in this way. Mickie makes it seem super easy by giving step by step instructions and fantastic videos that describe several different ways of doing things! I'm amazed at how much I learned in just a month. If you are looking for a way to open up PS for you from the total unknown to be able to open it with confidence, this is the course for you! Practicing with all the tools helps so much and with the daily shares, I got so much good feedback. I'm so glad I took this course!
This is third class I've taken through Clickin Moms, and it is exactly what I needed to finally be able to transform my images into what I want them to be. Mickie provides tons of videos and detailed PDFs, but more importantly, she is so active in the forums. The feedback from Mickie is priceless. If you're having issues with getting an image how you want, she goes the extra mile to help you understand how to do it. Before taking this class, I knew how to do one thing in Photoshop. I thought that since I knew how to use LR that's all I would ever need, but I was wrong. Photoshop was confusing and daunting, but after taking this course, I feel that I have a good, solid foundation of understanding how Photoshop works and will easily be able to continue to build on my knowledge. If you're debating whether to take this course – do it! You will not regret it!
Wow, did I love this class – I'm so sad it's over! I had taken the Pure Photoshop class a few months ago so I went into Unlocking the Magic of PS with a good understanding of how to do basic things – but this class helped me take everything to the next level. The course material is presented so clearly and so detailed – it covered everything I've wanted to know! Now I really feel like I can bring my photos to life the way I've always wanted to.
Mickie is an AMAZING instructor – she's extremely responsive and gives wonderful and encouraging feedback. And the TA Kellie was wonderful as well! Couldn't say better things about my experience. Highly highly recommend!
Recently completed this course and it was AMAZING. Definitely one of the most impactful classes I've taken, not only at Click Photo School/Clickin Moms, but ever (and I've taken a lot of classes!) Mickie DeVries has opened my eyes to the concept that it is not necessary to know everything about Photoshop in order to use it to create significant transformation, drama and impact in my photos. The PDFs where beautifully and clearly written and contained tons of useful information on cloning, color enhancement, color substitution, frequency separation for enhancing skin, textures, overlays, sky replacements and tons more. I was really impressed with how much information was included and how relevant it was to the type of photos I take. There are also exhaustive videos for every technique covered in the PDFs. The preassignment is like getting an extra week of class and materials. The critiques themselves are a huge value because Mickie takes your photos into photoshop and shows you (and everyone else–whose critiques you also have access to) how to fix various issues and she made a ton of extra videos as we went along to help. Honestly, I kind of think she is a time traveler because I'm not sure how she is able to do everything she does in the class! Take it full participation if you can. I'll definitely be going through the materials and video tutorials over and over again. A truly transformative and eye-opening class. HIGHLY recommend.
I cannot recommend Mickie's class enough!! I had never worked in Photoshop before and this class gave me the confidence to transform my photos to suit my vision. I was really impressed with the level of detail and thoroughness in all of the materials Mickie presented. She was also wonderful at answering any questions we had and gave very thorough feedback on all assignments. If you have the chance to take her amazing class, I would encourage you to be a Full Participant- being able to ask questions and receive feedback makes a big difference.
This class is exactly what the title describes. You will learn to unlock magic. Do not worry if you've never used Photoshop before. I had never used photoshop and I didn't feel left behind at all. I took the class as full participation and I am so thankful I did. I learned so much from the beautiful teaching materials, Mickie's daily interactions and Q&A. She clearly has a heart for this class because she was very attentive to all of us. She even makes videos to review your weekly homework or if there's a challenging item in the lesson you're struggling over. I started intimidated by Photoshop and finished feeling confident and excited about all the possibilities of Photoshop. I can't recommend this class enough. Mickie, the mentors, and my classmates were amazing! The only con to this class is that it was over too soon. Invest the extra money and go FULL participation. You won't regret it!
I've had PS for a long time, but was intimidated by it. I'm a LR girl. But for those instances where LR couldn't rescue my image the way I needed, I'd bring it over to PS and taught myself some of the tools like cloning, healing, patching, and in extreme instances, I would struggle through liquify to make my girlfriends happy. LOL! But I've always wanted to know how to replace skies, change the color of something, play with the tones of an image to better match the vision I had for it — those are some of the things I yearned for but never took the time or the challenge to learn more about them. I saw Mickie's workshop pop up, read through the course topics, and thought why not. And I'm so glad I did!! This class delivers! On all of the things you've always dreamed of doing in PS — so you can tweak your images to better meet your vision. It's amazing! Mickie is a great instructor. The pdf's and the videos are thorough and amazing. And at the end of each week, after you turn in your assignment, Mickie does a personal video critique of your image! Praising the good, offering suggestions for what could be improved, and even further to that, she jumps into your image on the video, and shows you why and how you could change the edit! The time and effort she puts into this is amazing!
So if you're looking for that perfect class that will take your pictures from OK to terrific, just do it! Sign up for it! Full participation. You won't regret it!
Unlocking the Magic of Photoshop with Mickie DeVries (@mickiedev) ended today. I am sad to be done. I learned so much this month! Before this class I was so intimidated by Photoshop. I never even opened it! Now I have so much more confidence in my photo editing. Mickie really goes above and beyond as the instructor in this course. This is my second CM class (mastering manual was first) and I am just so impressed. Mickie takes time to go over your daily posts. She posted extra videos as times to help with things you may be struggling with. The course material is great and well put together. There is so much information. I would highly recommend taking this course in full participation, you will not regret it.
Prior to this class, I knew just enough about PS to try a few things and get very frustrated. PS is such a powerful and amazing tool and can do SO MUCH more than LR to help enhance your images. If you want to learn how to make your sooc images match your vision and become the pieces of art that they are meant to be, you have to sign up for the next run of Unlocking the Magic of Photoshop with Mickie Devries. Mickie gives you the keys – the tips and techniques – to unlock your artistic vision, regardless of your shooting style/genre. You can still utilize LR for many of your image improvements, and learn to take your images to the next level using PS for the things that LR just cannot do! Mickie shows you how to do that! The course materials are super detailed and the instruction goes to another level with numerous videos that allow you to follow along step by step and quickly master the material and techniques. If you or a fellow workshop member have a specific question or need some trouble shooting, Mickie is right there to explain and if needed, demonstrate with a custom made video to step you through it! If you are intimidated by, or know a little bit about PS and would like to move on to the next level, THIS is the course you need to take full participation – if you can swing it – as you learn so much from the questions and work of others as well! You will not regret it!!!
I have owned Photo Shop for years, but never used it. The few times I tried, I quit with in minutes. Mickey's class, Unlocking the Magic of Photoshop does JUST That! . She gives you the tools, from basic to more advanced to edit your photos when LR is just not sufficient. While I don't tend to spend hours editing photos, I can now enhance my photos or fix problems well beyond what I can do in LR – plus its fun! Mickey's videos are step by step and easy to follow. She is also extremely responsive to questions on a daily basis during the class. I will be able to use this material over and over again! This class is a great investment in improving your photography!
I have always been intimidated by Photoshop and have put off trying to learn it for a long time. I finally took the plunge and signed up for Mickie DeVries' class – Unlocking the Magic of Photoshop. I'm so glad I did. Mickie puts so much into this class. The videos and materials are so thorough and helpful and will be a great resource for me forever. The class is organized so well and makes it all seems so much less overwhelming. After taking the class, I feel like I have a grasp on how to do a lot of awesome things in PS and I have the base of knowledge and confidence moving forward to keep learning on my own. Mickie was so available and helpful whenever I had questions. I highly recommend taking the class as a full participant. You won't be disappointed!
Take the class…STAT! After numerous failed attempts to learn photoshop on my own, this class what EXACTLY what I needed. I was strictly a Lightroom user before, but now after Mickies attentive teachings I am proud and excited to be able to navigate PS and am well on my way to getting exactly what I want out of my images. I was worried about taking an online class because I learn more from seeing/watching but with the videos she includes every week my learning needs were completely met. I love that you can read and learn from your classmates as well. Can't say enough good things, wish I took this class a year ago! Thank you so much Mickie!
I recommend this class to everyone who asks me about how to learn Photoshop. I knew very little about Photoshop coming into and left with a fairly comprehensive understanding of the basic functions, which served as a great foundation to learn even more. I could then watch videos online, etc. and actually follow along with what they were saying. Mickie is a great teacher. I did Study-along because I was on a strict budget, but I would recommend full participation if its in your budget. I still learned a lot, but I think that to have the immediate feedback would be even more helpful.
So glad to hear from you Lindsey! It's always so nice to hear the experience from a study along student too. Thank you!
Wow, this class is so powerful! If Photoshop makes you want to run away from home, get brave and TAKE THIS CLASS! Clear your schedule (you'll want the time) and dive right in. Mickie gives SO MUCH to everyone in this class, going way above and beyond to make sure everyone's questions are answered, and epic fails are fixed. Before this class, I opened PS with one eye closed and often quit without saving. Now, I am using it regularly and it is EASY! Thank you, Mickie!! <3
Thank you Carey! So glad you are using it regularly and that it's easy now!!
If you are new to Photoshop, then this is the course for you. I was a complete novice but now I feel confident to tackle many editing tasks. Mickie is possibly the best instructor that I have come across on Click Photo School. She explains so clearly and patiently, is always around to support and encourage and her critiques are so helpful and full of positive advice. The videos are easy to follow and I know I am going to be using all the materials provided for many years to come. I can't recommend this course enough!
Oh my goodness Rosemarie you are the sweetest! Thank you so much for your kind comments and I'm so glad you loved the course!
When I started this course I couldn't even save a document in Photoshop. Now I can confidently apply so many techniques and it feels so natural to do so! I'm reeling off everything I did to a photo and have astounded myself by my progress in only four weeks. AMAZING!
WOW – just an amazing course. Mickie is super sweet and extremely patient, responding to queries and your assignment submissions very quickly. The material is comprehensive and actually overwhelming – especially for a newbee to Ps – however if you take it in small chunks it is manageable.
I would highly recommend this course :)
So glad it's feeling natural after class :) :)
I have watched many youtube videos and learned photoshop from other workshop, but never have been seen a great teacher like Mickie. Both PDFs and videos are amazing. This workshop has a lot of information but Mickie demonstrate very clearly. It was very easy to follow her and understand how to use the different tools. I strongly recommend this course!
So glad you got a lot out of it Angela :)
Such a great workshop! Mickie is a wonderful and gracious teacher. She really opens up the world of Photoshop and makes it fun. If you're considering signing up, do it! You'll love it!
Thanks Rachel!!
What a fabulous class! Mickie provides hours of instruction and information each week, with clearly explained concepts and step-by-step instruction to help you get the most out of your images. If you've ever hoped to turn good images into great shots, this is the class for you!
Thanks Kate!!
I was someone who had always closed PS as quickly as she opened it. Mickie's course turned out to be the perfect solution to help encourage and teach me to keep PS open and to use it more often. I love being creative and now I have so many tools to help me to enhance and rescue photos that I wouldn't have necessarily bothered with before. She is very generous with her time and content– there are lots of videos and great pdfs to read- and if you haven't used PS previously–she tries to help bridge your knowledge with some basic tutorials at the start of class. Definitely put this class on your list to take.
I'm so glad you don't have to close it as soon at you open it anymore Aviva :) It's a pretty awesome program once you get acquainted with it :)
What an intense four weeks this has been! I have learned so much in this class and can now do things I thought I would never be able to do! Cloning/textures/overlays/clipping masks/templates….it is so fun now! Of course I wanted to pull my hair out many times and I am sure I still will but this has really opened up my editing world immensely. And even though I didn't get to try everything that Mickie taught us and I have all the videos and pdf's and can go back at any time to try it. Her videos and written instructions are so good you can literally follow along in PS while watching the video and figure it out. Thank you for such a great class Mickie!
Your welcome Kathy! I'm so glad you learned so much!
Everyone is saying this class is amazing, and Mickie is over the top helpful with the way she explains and supports her students…because it is totally TRUE! If you are trying to get those magical looking images and just haven't quite been able to achieve what you envision with a preset or the way you currently edit…take this class! There are also many helpful hints and golden nuggets she drops along the way in her video critiques and in the Q&A threads…so be sure to partake in that and you'll be so glad you did!
Thanks so much Jackie!!
I took the plunge and signed up for Mickie's "Unlock the Magic of Photoshop" full participation. I had basic knowledge of Photoshop prior to this class and I feel that I have learned SOOOO much from this class. One of the best decisions I've ever made on my photography journey. If you've ever been on Youtube looking for videos to figure out how to do something but end up wanting to throw your computer instead (guilty), This class is for you. I wasn't frustrated once in this class. Mickie was so organized and all of the information was easy to follow. I had so much fun learning all of the things I had struggled with trying to figure out on my own before. It was such a supportive and fun environment! Great class!
Thanks so much Chelsea!! I also love the fun, supportive environment! Getting to know everyone is definitely one of the best parts for me :)
Before this class, I definitely fell into the category of knowing Photoshop just enough to bump along, but not enough to do a complete edit. Mickie designed a class to help anyone at any level get more out of Photoshop and take their photos to the next level. It was a game changer for me. I'm so glad I finally signed up!! Her videos and PDF are easy to follow and show how making small changes in a photo can create a big impact. I just finished this run, but am anxious to go back through all the week's information again and keep practicing. I highly recommend this course.
So glad it was a game changer for you Karen!!
I was so fortune to take this class, and enjoyed the fabulous month. I was so scared to use photoshop before, and deleted a lot of potential pictures. I even watched a lot of youtube video to help myself to understand it, but unfortunately, still couldn't get the concepts. But Now I'm so proud that I can use photoshop pretty well to edit my pictures. Mickie Devries is a wonderful teacher, she shared a lot of practical tools and commented everyday's practice and critiques seriously. I completely recommend this class. Thanks a million, Mickie, love you!
Thanks Nicole!!
I was looking for a Photoshop class to take because I wanted to learn it but books weren't working for me. I saw all the reviews for this class and decided to take a chance and do the full participation. I am so glad I did. Mickie goes above and beyond what any instructor I have ever had has done. If you do not understand something she explains it in detail and makes a video of how to do it correctly or more efficiently. The class is over but it will take me four weeks to go over all of the videos again. I printed out the pdf's also because they were so detailed. Do take this class – it will be the best $300 you have ever spent.
Awe thanks Deb! So glad you felt it was well worth it!
I have just finished the May/June 2016 run of this course. I was definitely a bit PS phobic beforehand so took it to get over my fear! I am so glad that I did. The class is packed full of materials and clear instructions to help you work through the steps and I really liked the fact that copies of the images in the tutorials were provided so that you could practise on those first. Mickie was lovely – quick to respond and providing very helpful, constructive feedback and for this I would definitely recommend full participation. I feel much more confident moving forward now – and ready to start tackling the backlog of unedited images on my hard drive …!
I was so lovely to get to see your work Anna and to help you love PS :)
I recently completed the January 2016 run of this course as a study along student. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to take their use of Photoshop to the next level. And do so as a Full Participation student if you can swing it. Unfortunately those seats were sold out before I had the chance to sign up, and I did not want to wait for the next run.
It was such a transformative course for my editing and workflow. I now know how to fix things in my photos, both large and small, that have been a thorn in my side! We all know those photos where one person blinked but everyone else looks nice? Head swap time! That cute photo of your kids with ugly tree branches sticking out of their heads? Clone it out! I'm so glad I learned the skills needed to do these things and more from Mickie.
Do not hesitate to take this class! I learned so much not just from the course materials, but also from watching all the critiques from various students.
Hi Megan! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your review! I think it will really help other future study along students decide if the course is right for them!
This class has finally helped me overcome my fear of PS. I have been editing in Light Room for 7 years. I had dabbled in PS in the past with a few books from Scott Kelby and even a course at the local junior collage. I took Lisa Harrison's Processing 101 class last fall and Processing 104 with Mickie in January. It has finally clicked! Mickie's class is very informative and covers all of the fun things PS can do with your images. Color enhancement, overlays, cloning and portrait touch ups are just a few of the amazing skills I have in my tool box. Mickie is very responsive and answered all of our questions clearly. Her step by step videos are so easy to follow that even I could do it. I loved the class so much that I am going back and working through it again on my own time to catch what I missed during the first pass. It is such a relief to no longer have to dread the emails from clients asking about head swaps, making them look thinner and adding a pretty sky. Thank you Mickie!
Yay Shelly! I'm so happy you feel this way! I think the phrase "Can you just Photoshop that?" has been adopted by so many clients now a days! I just read an article that Photoshop has become a verb with the way so many people ask to about it! I'm so glad that you can now not dread those emails!
This class was truly a game changer for me! After multiple "failed" attempts at learning Photoshop finally I found a class and an instructor that spoke to me and focused not on the whole abyss that is PS but rather those specific tools within PS that can really transform your images. Mickie and her team of CM Pros and alumni helpers were incredibly supportive and determined to make sure that the class participants were "getting" the material. I would say that full participation is the way to go with this course and my only negative feedback is that the course needs to be longer. It really is that good and Mickie is the best!
Thanks KC! I'm so glad that this class met your needs and didn't end up in the failed attempt category!
I have been editing in LR only for years and finally took the plunge into PS for that extra bump. I have started to dabble in PS before but was always either overwhelmed or bored with the "this is the lasso, here it what it does, etc" teaching manner of other resources. Not so with Mickie's fabulous class! I LOVED every single week and always wished I had more time to practice. Instead of taking you through PS in a mundane manner, she teaches you how to achieve the look or effect you want and the tools necessary for that particular outcome. She makes the process fun and enjoyable and is fantastic about answering questions and even adding a video to explain something further. Absolutely loved this class and would recommend it to anyone! Thank you Mickie! You are awesome!
This makes my heart so happy Mel! Thank you! I'm so glad you found the lessons so applicable and not boring!
I had never opened photoshop prior to signing up for this class and was very intimidated the first week. I actually requested to drop the class and find a class that was more fundamental or even take a lightroom class first, however the CM policy does not allow this, which was unfortunate. However, Mickie was amazing in her efforts to make sure I felt comfortable with the material, even emailing to check in to see if I needed help. She is patient, thorough, positive, timely and very organized. While I do wish I would have taken a LR class first, as it seems a lot of people edit in LR before editing in PS, I am happy with all that I learned in this class. Mickie is truly a wonderful instructor.
I know you were so frustrated that first week, and the first week is hard, but I'm so glad you did the work and saw it through. I was amazed at your progress, even by week 2 you seemed so much more comfortable in PS. Photoshop is an amazing program, but it's massive and not always easy in the beginning, but you prove that hard work pays off! I think this class is definitely a compliment to Lightroom users that just want to be able to edit in PS the things that can't be done in LR, but Lightroom is not a requirement for this course, and not necessary to have knowledge of for this course. I do provide support for LR users for how to best use PS to complement their workflow and for getting their images into PS and back to LR though as I find that many people use this combination for editing. It was a pleasure getting to know you Michelle :)
If you are on the fence at all about taking this class I would highly encourage it! I also would encourage taking this class as full participation because Mickie is an invaluable resource when it comes to Photoshop. I had little Lightroom experience and zero Photoshop experience and this class improved my editing skills so much, I really cannot say enough good things about it. Mickie is there to answer all questions and all her material is very helpful and easy to follow, she will even make videos during the class to help answer your questions. I was very intimidated by Photoshop before the class and am now very comfortable using it on my own! I am so thankful to Mickie for taking time away from her family to share her hard earned knowledge with me, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks so much Dani!
Mickie's course on PS was AH-MAZING! I had zero knowledge of PS (or LR) and actually thought it was a course on PSE. lol Mickie's course has made me convert to PS/LR for sure! The course information was detailed and easy to follow. Also, it was extremely helpful to have step-by-step instructions in written form (PDF) as well as video. I learn best by reading and was very grateful to have this learning method as an option. She was kind, thoughtful and extremely knowledgable. The weekly video critiques she provided helped me follow her thought process and gave me specific ways that I could improve my work – while providing a visual example. You will not be disappointed when you sign up for this class! It rocks and so does Mickie!
Hi Lauren! I love that when you found out that it was PS instead of PSE that you jumped in head first! So fun to see your work!
Oh my gosh, Mickie, this was the very best Photoshop class I have ever taken! I am a devoted Lightroom user, but my eyes have been opened to all the possibilities and ways to create unique art in PS. Yours was one of the best CM courses as well, and I have taken a lot of them. I have tried so many Creative Live and Lynda classes and tutorials trying to learn PS and to be honest, they mostly put me to sleep. Just the setting up intro videos usually put me to sleep and then I don't make it through the rest. This class is so different. The first day, we jumped into some of the most helpful tools and learned how to actually apply them to edit our own portraits. I learned by doing. I often read the PDF, watched the video, tried and then read, watched and tried again. Slowly I got it; but unlike my other attempts, I actually really learned how to use PS to do the things I want to with a photograph. I finally understand levels and masks, because I had to use them. You covered all the basics, even though this wasn't a how-to photoshop class. I cannot thank you enough for all the wonderful details and complete instruction in the PDF. Better yet, you complimented the printed PDF with short and concise videos that showed me how to do so many things I have been wanting to do. And your video critiques were another lesson in themselves. I want to be an alum helper just to keep pushing myself to work with all the wonderful PS tools and skills you taught. Thank you again for your wonderful class. You are a gifted instructor and such a sweet person to learn from.
Hi Julie! Thank you so much for your great review. I really tried to make it not only instructive, but also geared toward photography, so I'm glad that you found the topics easy to apply and useful!
If you are on the fence about whether to take this class or not…..TAKE IT!!! And take it full participation!! Mickie is a wealth of knowledge and so super sweet and she explains things where it is easy to understand, and if you don't she makes sure you do! I had never even edited AT ALL in Photoshop before this class and now am so excited to pull my images in and see what i can do! It is a jammed packed 4 weeks of information, but it is so exciting at the same time….instead of feeling like you need to make time for the class, you WANT to read every pdf and watch every video because the information is so great! It is amazing all the things you learn in such a short amount of time….I had never swapped heads, changed skies, made or used actions at all before this class….and that is just a few of the things we learned! The feedback Mickie gives in her critiques along with the TAs and alumni helpers make the full participation a must…i couldn't imagine taking it any other way. You definitely can not ask for a better instructor, I truly wish Mickie had more PS classes offered because i would for sure take them! I learned so much and am honestly so sad to see the class end!
Awe thank you Laura! It was a pleasure seeing your work during this class!!!
I loved this class!!! If you have been struggling with Photoshop, this class is a MUST. I am primarily a LR girl, but there are things that I knew I could do in PS and I wanted to know how to do them, but whenever I would try I would get lost among the tools and the details until I just gave up and decided it wasn't worth it. Mickie's class made photoshop accessible AND fun! She is a fantastic teacher – her materials are phenomenal and she was so dedicated to making sure that we understood them. Many times, she would create an additional video mid-week to address any confusion that she saw amongst our group. I cannot tell you how much more comfortable I am in PS now that I've taken this class. Mickie is amazing (and we had some wonderful TAs too – they deserve a shout-out as well for all their advice and assistance) and I am happy to recommend this wholeheartedly!
Thanks Kami! Not only was it a pleasure to see your work progress, but it was super fun meeting you at Click Away!!!!
Just WOW! The amount of work that Mickie put into this course is incredible. I was amazed at how much was covered in the short 4 weeks we were all together. All of the pdf instructions and videos were organized, well presented, and super detailed. The best part of this course was watching how well everyone's photos and skill improved from each week into the next – which is a testament to Mickie's commitment to giving feedback and encouragement through out the entire course. I had an overall knowledge of Photoshop related to graphic design before taking this course, and the 4 weeks with these materials greatly improved my technique and use of the program for photography. I highly recommend full participation – the video critiques received were priceless.
Thanks Carrie, it was a jam packed 4 weeks!
This class was incredible. I learned so so much — how to do things better/more efficiently for those things that I already knew as well as how to do so many other things I've always wondered about. I would *highly* recommend it to anyone looking to expand their knowledge of Photoshop and give themselves more tools to create better images. Thank you, Mickie!!
Thanks Laura!!
I was fortunate to get the last spot in the first run of this workshop. I am still blown away at all the information Mickie covered in the 4-weeks. Before taking this class, I edited in LR and dabbled in PS with actions. I knew how to use layers and masks, but not to the extent that Mickie covers. And I had no idea how to head swap, use a texture, replace a sky, fix a color cast, attempt frequency separation, etc, the list is endless, and now I'm confident in doing all of this and more. I highly recommend taking this course full participation. Mickie is super helpful in leading you through an edit, responding to questions, and her critiques are extremely valuable in helping you learn. Mickie gives suggestions on getting your edit complete; she does not just address the topic in the assignment. I can now hand edit a photo with no action, and even though it's OK to use actions, it's nice to know I don't necessarily need them. I finally processed a photograph that had been sitting on my computer for months, unable for me to process it the way I envisioned it, and now it's in my portfolio. The course is divided between extremely helpful, information packed PDFs and videos explaining each and every technique covered. Critiques are given in video format so you can see how to correct your own photos. If you want to tackle photoshop and all its powerful tools, you have to take this class. You will be blown away!
Thank you Denise!! I'm so glad you got that last spot, and it was a pleasure to see your work during this class!
This class was wonderful, I cannot believe how much I learned in 4 weeks! Mickie's video critiques were spot on and so helpful! Everything is clear and explained well- I highly recommend this course!
Thanks Alicia!! It was so exciting to see your growth during the class!
I was fortunate to take a spot in the first run and I am very very happy with what I have learned! I started with absolutely no editing knowledge in Photoshop, I formally edited only in Lightroom. Besides that I learned how to navigate in PS, make adjustments and properly perform edits, the whole world of creative editing was disclosed to me. I've discovered so many useful tools that can help me to enhance my images and from now on I will definitely use PS as a part of my editing work flow. I need to add it was so much information in a short period of time and what I appreciate the most that Mickie was always there to help us through. I loved her thorough CC's and prompt replies to the questions making sure we understand the concepts! Mickie gave us so many amazing tips that I know I would never have learned on my own. The course is definitely intense and loaded with lots of precious information, but the PDF's are easy-to-read and the videos are very clear and presented in a logical way. This is a really great workshop to take. It doesn't matter weather you are just starting out using Photoshop or have being for a while. It really can fill in the gaps, especially for those who is self taught. You will gain a lot of fundamentals that are crucial for beautiful editing! Thank you Mickie and thank you CM for offering such a great and fantastic course!
Thank you Anita! I so enjoyed seeing your beautiful work during this class.
I don't think I could possibly say enough good things about this workshop. I really could barely use PS at all before taking this class, other than to change the exposure of my images. I learned how to enhance eyes, skies, skin tones, add textures, use cloning tools, and so much more! Mickie's materials were very well organized, and she did a great job of explaining exactly how to do each technique. I really felt supported and encouraged all along the way. I'm really glad I took this class, and that Mickie was such a wonderful instructor!
Oh my goodness Leah, thank you for such a great review. It was my goal to make this course easy to follow, which can be hard with such a massive program like Photoshop so I'm so glad you felt like I accomplished this!
Words cannot express how much I have learned from Mickie during this course…I have had a hate-hate relationship with PS, and while there is so much I still don't know, Mickie shared A LOT of specific tools so that I can play now! I was able to rescue images that I had saved for the day when I knew how to remove unwanted 'things' in my photos, replace skies, use textures, and the list goes on. Even more impressive, is that given the strong basis I have after this course, I can actually look at videos teaching other things I want to know in PS, and I UNDERSTAND them. This course is wonderful, but you HAVE to keep up. Mickie has been so generous with everything she shares – both in video and PDF format, that you need to stay ahead of it. I am enthusiastically recommending you take this course if you're willing to work with the tools Mickie gives you, and have the time to put in…
Thank you Cheryl! What makes my heart so happy to hear is that you gained the ability to not only be able to do the things I taught, but that it opened you up to even more possibilities because you understand the program a lot more!!!

Which of these quotes speak for you?
- We have a leadership team that needs to learn how to drop the egos and work together for the common good. Individually we are capable, together we are somewhat dysfunctional.
- We have organisational units or key individuals who just cannot work together and it is affecting our productivity and morale.
- We are facing huge changes and need to create culture that is more open and ready to let go of the past and fully embrace the new future.
- We have been ordered to cut cost and at the same time to improve productivity.
- People are working hard but without the high levels of engagement needed for maximum performance.
- We have high potential people who need something inspiring and empowering to help us keep them and unleash their contribution to the organisation.
- In some areas of our operation we need real innovation. Nothing we have done resolve the issues that are holding us back.
- We have been growing rapidly and have not had enough time to prepare our managers for what they need to do.
- We need to see managers having greater ownership of issues and are capable of resolving conflict between themselves without needing to escalate matters to senior levels.
Our process usually involves:
- Meeting with the client to ascertain the scope of work, to clarify the needs and agree on the major steps in the interventions.
- Interviews with key people to gather data from a diverse sampling of stakeholders.
- The use of data gathered to feed into the planning and design of interventions in collaboration with a small cross-functional team/ group.
- Delivery of interventions.
- Review and follow-through with client.

Professional Nursing License Defense Attorneys in South Carolina
The South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation (LLR) enforces the Nurse Practice Act and controls the practice of nursing in South Carolina. It is necessary to be licensed by the LLR if you wish to practice as a registered nurse, a licensed practical nurse or an Advance Practice Registered Nurse. However, when you become licensed in South Carolina, you become vulnerable to complaints which anyone can file against you with the South Carolina Nursing Board. It could be an employer, a coworker, a patient, or another medical professional who files the complaint.
Common Allegations
The most common complaints that are filed with the South Carolina Nursing Board include criminal misconduct or conviction, practicing under the influence of drugs or alcohol, dependence on or abuse of alcohol, drugs, or prescription drugs, diverting narcotics for personal use, engaging in inappropriate relationships with patients, failing to properly chart or document information, failing to properly waste narcotics, patient abuse, sexual misconduct, and practicing outside of the scope of your license.
Because these allegations can be so serious and because they can completely ruin your reputation, career, and ability to make a living, you should contact a nursing license defense attorney in South Carolina as soon as you receive notice that a complaint has been filed. Do not be tempted to ignore the charge, hoping that it will go away or blow over. This is your profession at stake, and there are serious legal, financial, and psychological consequences to consider.
It takes a lot of hard work to obtain a South Carolina Nursing License. Receiving notification that an LLR investigator is looking into a complaint against you can send it all crashing to the ground. Do not respond to the investigator without first consulting a South Carolina nursing license defense attorney about your unique situation and your legal rights.
Keep in mind that a complaint does not automatically indicate guilt. You should not be afraid that you'll lose your license without a fair investigation, and you should defend your innocence. In fact, you must, if you want to avoid losing your reputation and your license altogether.
South Carolina Nursing Board Complaint Response
You will be contacted by an investigator from the LLR if a complaint has been filed against you. Anything that you say during the investigation can be used against you, including in the initial contact. The investigator may lure you in with an innocent claim of simply wanting to hear your side of the story. They may indicate that they want to wrap up the case, quickly, and that you can help with this. It would be unwise for you to fall for this without discussing your case with an experienced nursing license defense attorney in Columbia, SC. The consultation is free, and you have nothing to lose by making the call. On the other hand, you have everything to lose if you do not.
RPP Referral
In many cases, when a nurse has committed an offense related to drug or alcohol use, they will be referred to and evaluated by the South Carolina Recovering Professional Program (RPP). The goal of this program is to determine whether or not treatment and/or continued monitoring are required for you to return to practicing nursing. Again, the best thing to do after receiving such a referral is to contact a nursing license defense attorney to discuss the options ahead of you.
Disciplinary Actions of the South Carolina Board of Nursing
There are different disciplinary actions that are used by the South Carolina Board of Nursing if you are found guilty of misconduct. Examples include license suspension or revocation, heavy fines, and public reprimand. All can be devastating to your reputation and career, and some can destroy you financially.
Contact the Experienced Nursing License Defense Lawyer Today
The best thing that you can do for yourself when facing a complaint with the South Carolina Board of Nursing is to contact The Michael Jeffcoat Law Firm for a free consultation about your case. We handle various disciplinary matters, professional allegations, misconduct issues, and even criminal charges. Contact our nursing license defense lawyers today to learn more about what we can do for you.

In my apartment reboot, one of the things that ate shit was my Dish TV. (Long story that involved not being able to close doors anymore due to my new floors being thicker than shitty apartment carpet.)
I was all too hasty in canceling my Dish subscription (sorry to the four people I left stranded without an HBOGO login on the night of the Game of Thrones finale!). My plan was to get ATT Uverse, but… turns out, the website lied, and Uverse isn't available in my 'hood (despite it being available 1 mile away!?). They can offer me DirecTV — but I'm not willing to sign a two year contract, because I'm not willing to admit that I'll still be living in this same apartment in two years. And long ago I swore to NEVER get Time Warner Cable again.
Then I thought, 'most of my friends have no cable TV whatsoever, maybe I could pull that off too? I'm young and hip… ish.'
So I got Amazon Fire TV, and challenged myself to live without cable TV.
It's… not been going well.
I don't know how the kids do it these days with no DVR and waiting for new episodes. Do they pay to watch the new ones every time? Doesn't that come out to be pretty close to paying for cable? Do they do what I've been doing and watch new shows with their friends who have cable? Do they have to pay for accounts with all kinds of websites like Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBOGo, and Netflix? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just get cable?
The most frustrating part about not having access to regular TV is that I feel like a part of me is missing. What's a TV geek without TV? I feel my nerd cred slipping away every time someone asks me if I've seen the new episode of Adventure Time, and I have to admit that I haven't. What the hell are my girls Princess Bubblegum and Lumpy Space Princess up to now!? I have no idea!
So I gave in and did the thing I swore I would never do again: I got Time Warner fucking Cable. I know, I know, they're the worst!!! It even took one no-show, one "we can't do this without a supervisor," and one supervisor to run it through the wall, into the closet, out of the closet, down the hallway, and into the living room to get it. But they don't have 2-year contracts, they're cheap, (and certain baseball fan I'm dating will be able to watch the Dodgers on TV now) so… yeah.
I even talked about this with my freaking therapist. (Yes. My lack of TV angst is therapy money-worthy.) She asked me WHY I thought I had to conduct this experiment. I thought about it and answered: Because I was made to feel like I had a problem. My ex constantly compared my TV watching to doing drugs. He made me feel bad that it was an addiction and it was "all I wanted to do."
It's been over two months now, and I have proven to myself that I'm not so incredibly addicted that I can't live without it. But I also proven to myself that I like living with it. There's nothing wrong with that, and there's nothing wrong with me (except the lack of new episodes of Last Week Tonight). I'm not an addict, I realize, but I am a total TV and pop culture nerd. TV one of my passions. Turns out, that's okay.
It also turns out that I don't know how the kids these days do it. Kids these days? How are you doing it? I'd like to know…

The surging is greatly reduced and only faintly and randomly noticeable when I try to hold the car at 1,700 in first gear, driving slowly along like I was looking at house numbers. I had tried new plugs, a new cap and rotor, new wires, cleaning all the grounds, and checking all the sensors/ECU inputs. Didn't do anything to change the surging/bucking. I tried changing the point gap to 0.025 inches and the surging became bucking. Got much worse. AHAH! Maybe a wider gap will do the reverse of worse. Tried it and it worked.Tomorrow I will try a 0.045 gap, seeking the limits of this fix. Some of you will understand why it works. I don't. Fact: A wider gap increases the resistance in the high voltage circuit? Maybe the spark is bigger and fatter, and hotter? Another data point: 1,700 RPM is where the centrifugal advance kicks in and ups the timing. Maybe the centrifugal advance mechanism is gummed up and working oddly. On Thursday I will take the distributor apart and check this out. Why should I have to run exotic spark gaps to keep my engine running nearly OK? I will stay with this problem until it is resolved in favor of a smooth running engine. Thanks to all the listers who gave me advice on this matter. It steered me to the ignition system, and gave me the courage to keep trying. Thanks. Doyt Echelberger 86 4kq better 87 5kcstq does it get better than this?

Carbon Fiber for the Common Man
by David Surace
Paul Tan, the highly-informed automotive blogger and industry hawk from Malaysia, has given me another pink highlighter moment regarding carbon fiber's place in our energy-conscious age:
"A group of Japanese companies which control 70% of the global carbon fiber market want to increase the usage of carbon fiber in automobiles."
Goshers, really?
You see, carbon fiber–or if we're picking nits, carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic, a material with the strength of steel at only 1/3 the weight–is certainly no stranger to the automobile, as our man Bruce McCulloch covered around this time last year. But right now the lion's share of the material still goes to large aircraft manufacture, specifically airliners, where the fuel savings more than make up for carbon fiber's stratospheric cost and slow manufacturing time.
In an automobile, which is several orders of magnitude smaller, less expensive and quicker to build, the return-on-investment argument for carbon fiber is harder for the average consumer to swallow. So for right now, it's still the preserve of supercars, F1 paddocks and high-performance toilet seats.
But what if it wasn't? What if it became the ho-hum everyday composite for everyone? And what would replace it?
Let's address the first question: according to the interesting Automotive News article (subscription req'd) which Mr. Tan sources, the big carbon fiber manufacturers in Japan, Toray Industries, Teijin and Mitsubishi Rayon, have plans up their sleeves to increase production of the material and, in turn, cut the exorbitant cost to the consumer. And, in turn, make gobs of money.
Now, for those of you who only have vague ideas about what carbon fiber is, I invite you to think of it like reinforced concrete. The tiny carbon strands (about 6 micrometers thick) are woven together in a matrix similar to the steel rebar used to erect your local Wal Mart. Those strands serve to spread weight or force across the entire body of the structure, instead of gathering it at a single weak point. Then you can add a liquid element which can harden; in Wal Mart's case it's concrete, and in carbon fiber's case it's plastic resin or epoxy. Whereas concrete hardens in the sun, the epoxy must be baked in a very hot oven called an autoclave in order to stiffen up.
With the multiple pieces all smooshed together, a lot of people like to call the resulting material a "composite", kind of like a composition is simply a body of work (like an opera, or a term paper) made of many parts.
If you can imagine every Wal Mart being built out of solid blocks of travertine stone like the Colosseum in Rome, you can see why the steel rebar & concrete combination has been so popular.
But if it's like rebar then why is it so bloody expensive? For starters there's the carbon strand itself: you begin the process with individual fibers of a very nice material called Polyacrylonitrile (the "acrylic" content of your t-shirt is made out of this same material), then burn it to within an inch of its life. If you cooked it right, the end result is about 55% pure carbon, and those carbon atoms excitedly arrange themselves into a very efficient hexagonal pattern called a graphene sheet. In tubular form, this is now your carbon strand, anxiously waiting to be made into a toilet seat.
One of the really neat things about this material is that, depending on how you weave the carbon fibers, the composite material can either bear loads in all directions (omni-directional), or it can hold up against stress coming from only one direction. Formula One teams often use the "uni-directional" material to make delicate control arms and suspension pieces, which bear most of their stress in side-to-side or up-and-down motions.
But an F1 car is clearly a cost-no-object application. The challenge for Japan's automotive carbon-fiber players is to make it a value-added proposition over the already trustworthy steel and aluminum alloys. Fortunately for them, however, your daily driver doesn't have to endure nearly the amount of stress of an F1 car on day-to-day basis.
So why not make the strands out of a less stringent material for, say, non-structural parts? Scientists are already experimenting with recipes for Short Fiber Reinforced Polymer, a material which uses some "split ends" of acrylonitrile carbon fiber strands, usually blown in at odd angles to create an interlacing effect before the resin material is poured in. This material is not nearly as strong as woven carbon fiber, and would never be mistaken for an "advanced" composite, but with the help of an old friend, glass fiber, you can make what is essentially a re-re-reinforced fiberglass.
What about fibers made of things other than acrylic? For years experiments have been underway to determine a suitable (and petroleum-free) successor to acrylonitrile, one that perhaps might even yield a higher concentration of carbon atoms per strand, from natural fiber extracts like cotton, hemp, sisal and curaua all the way up to metal fibers made of highly-elastic aluminum alloys. The goal is to find a reinforcing material that's easier, greener, faster and cheaper.
Or how about reinforcing your composites with something that isn't a fiber at all, but a clay? Great minds in materials engineering have also been plugging away at so-called nanoclay composites, a class of reinforced plastic that uses ultra-fine particles of a natural clay called montmorillonite, a fine, powdery, almost greasy-feeling clay originally discovered in the eastern French town of Montmorillon. Like the graphene sheets that carbon atoms like to form, the alumina and silica molecules in clay minerals also like to form orderly shapes, using their shared oxygen atoms to form corners in a linked tetrahedral shape. These guys then lock together with other clay-making molecules to form rigid sheets.
Sounds far fetched? There's already a company bringing these things to light: PolyOne Corp., an plastics manufacturer out of Avon Lake, OH is already playing with montmorillonite-infused polymers which are strong enough and stiff enough to stand up on their own as an automotive body application.
Going just a little further, you could imagine an automotive paint process that only involves one or two super-thin layers of nanoclay-reinforced primer and colorant, followed by one single layer of "self-healing" clearcoat. On top of being tougher and reacting to scratches by bursting tiny nanocapsules full of "clearcoat" resin, the weight savings over a traditional automotive paintjob (which typically involves between 4-10 coats) could be significant.
While those things are cooking, however, carbon fiber's meticulous manufacturing process should become faster, easier, and more open-source (as of right now, carbon weave processes are still fiercely kept a trade secret). So perhaps by the time my (unborn) children are in the market for a minivan, the once-exotic carbon weave will have gone out of style–and come back again.
Postscript: If you're still thirsty for more information about Fiber-Reinforced Composites, there's a very good synopsis from the Engineering Fundamentals website available HERE.

New Delhi, Dec. 26: The CPM high command has warned the Congress against repeating its Gujarat strategy of soft-Hindutva campaigning during Assembly polls next year.
It is certain if the Congress repeats this line in the coming Assembly elections, it will have nothing but sheer humiliation in store for it, CPM general-secretary Harkishen Singh Surjeet has written in the latest issue of Peoples Democracy, the CPM mouthpiece.
The Gujarat poll that gave the BJP a landslide victory and pushed the Congress to a poor second buttressed the CPMs oft repeated allegation that the Congress is trying to be the BJPs B team, Surjeet writes.
The CPM leader, in the lead article on Gujarat polls, writes: As the CPM has pointed out, instead of taking communal forces head on in Gujarat, the Congress underplayed the communal agenda and thereby helped communal forces legitimise their disruptive campaign.
Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, in an interview yesterday, had taunted the Congress for using religion and Hindutva for electoral gains.
After touting itself as secular for 364 days, the Congress suddenly turned religious and started the poll campaign with a puja at Gujarats Ambaji temple, Vajpayee said.
After criticising the Congress and the Samajwadi Party for failing to thrash out a seat-sharing agreement in the run-up to the Gujarat polls, Surjeet is now publicly venting anger against the Congress for not taking a stand on BJPs communalism.
According to the CPM leadership, they had anticipated a BJP victory in Gujarat but not the scale on which it won.
The CPM had earlier declared that the Gujarat polls would decide the course of national politics. Now that the BJP has romped home with a huge margin, the CPM leadership is piling blame on the main Opposition party.
The Congress should first set its house in order, the CPM has said. Some of its state governments, such as that in Rajasthan, are already facing mass discontent because of their LPG policies, Surjeet writes. Rajasthan goes to polls early next year.
If this course is not reversed, only communal forces will exploit this discontent. The Congress will do well to ponder why the BJP won all the three seats in the by-elections in Rajasthan.
The Congresss alliance with the pro-extremist Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura, too, has come in for harsh criticism from the CPM.
This has also put a big question mark on the Congresss credentials as a nationalist, secular party, Surjeet writes.

Myths and Legends of China
Page: 94
The Sealed Packet
The young Prince, shortly after, taking an affectionate leave of the Emperor, left Chin-ling to proceed to his post. Ere he departed, however, a Taoist priest, called Liu Po-wên, who had a great affection for the Prince, put a sealed packet into his hand, and told him to open it when he found himself in difficulty, distress, or danger; the perusal of the first portion that came to his hand would invariably suggest some remedy for the evil, whatever it was. After doing so, he was again to seal the packet, without further looking into its contents, till some other emergency arose necessitating advice or assistance, when he would again find it. The Prince departed on his journey, and in the course of time, without meeting with any adventures worth recording, arrived safely at his destination. Page 229
A Desolate Region
The place where Peking now stands was originally called Yu Chou; in the T'ang dynasty it was called Pei-p'ing Fu; and afterward became known as Shun-t'ien Fu—but that was after the city now called Peking was built. The name of the country in which this place was situated was Yen. It was a mere barren wilderness, with very few inhabitants; these lived in huts and scattered hamlets, and there was no city to afford protection to the people and to check the depredations of robbers.
When the Prince saw what a desolate-looking place he had been appointed to, and thought of the long years he was probably destined to spend there, he grew very melancholy, and nothing his attendants essayed to do in hope of alleviating his sorrow succeeded.
The Prince opens the Sealed Packet
All at once the Prince bethought himself of the packet which the old Taoist priest had given him; he forthwith proceeded to make search for it—for in the bustle and excitement of travelling he had forgotten all about it—in hope that it might suggest something to better the prospects before him. Having found the packet, he hastily broke it open to see what instructions it contained; taking out the first paper which came to hand, he read the following:
"When you reach Pei-p'ing Fu you must build a city there and name it No-cha Ch'êng, the City of No-cha.Page 230funds for building it. At the back of this paper is a plan of the city; you must be careful to act according to the instructions accompanying it."
The Prince inspected the plan, carefully read the instructions, and found even the minutest details fully explained. He was struck with the grandeur of the design of the proposed city, and at once acted on the instructions contained in the packet; proclamations were posted up, and large sums were speedily subscribed, ten of the wealthiest families who had accompanied him from Chin-ling being the largest contributors, supporting the plan not only with their purses, by giving immense sums, but by their influence among their less wealthy neighbours.
The City is Founded
When sufficient money had been subscribed, a propitious day was chosen on which to commence the undertaking. Trenches where the foundations of the walls were to be were first dug out, according to the plan found in the packet. The foundations themselves consisted of layers of stone quarried from the western hills; bricks of an immense size were made and burnt in the neighbourhood; the moat was dug out, and the earth from it used to fill in the centre of the walls, which, when complete, were forty-eight li in circumference, fifty cubits in height, and fifty in breadth; the whole circuit of the walls having battlements and embrasures. Above each of the nine gates of the city immense three-storied towers were built, each tower being ninety-nine cubits in height.
Near the front entrance of the city, facing each other, were built the Temples of Heaven and of Earth. In Page 231rear of it the beautiful 'Coal Hill' (better known as 'Prospect Hill') was raised; while in the square in front of the Great Gate of the palace was buried an immense quantity of charcoal (that and the coal being stored as a precaution in case of siege).
The palace, containing many superb buildings, was built in a style of exceeding splendour; in the various enclosures were beautiful gardens and lakes; in the different courtyards, too, seventy-two wells were dug and thirty-six golden tanks placed. The whole of the buildings and grounds was surrounded by a lofty wall and a stone-paved moat, in which the lotus and other flowers bloomed in great beauty and profusion, and in the clear waters of which myriads of gold and silver fish disported themselves.
The geomancy of the city was similar to that of Chin-ling, When everything was completed the Prince compared it with the plan and found that the city tallied with it in every respect. He was much delighted, and called for the ten wealthy persons who had been the chief contributors, and gave each of them a pair of 'couchant dragon' silk- or satin-embroidered cuffs, and allowed them great privileges. Up to the present time there is the common saying: "Since then the 'dragon-cuffed' gentlefolks have flourished."

Rumor: Apple begins manufacturing of next-gen iPhone, will include Force Touch systems in all models
Date: Monday, June 29th, 2015, 09:23
Category: Hardware, iPhone, Rumor
Whatever the next-gen iPhone is packing for features, they're apparently building it right now.
This is the rumor, as Apple has started early production of its next-generation iPhone models that will retain 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch form factors and integrate Force Touch technology.
A Bloomberg article has sources close to Apple suppliers stating that they're in the midst of an early manufacturing run of the company's next iPhone models, which will bring pressure-sensitive Force Touch technology to the device.
The Force Touch feature was first deployed with the Apple Watch and incorporates sensors installed around the edge of Watch's screen measure the amount of force being exerted by a user's finger, which is then translated into gesture control signals.
Previous rumors stated that the Force Touch feature would only be found on the larger "iPhone 6s Plus" handset, albeit the current rumors suggest pressure-sensitive screens will come standard on all next-gen models.
Additionally, sources said transitioning to the new handset line should be a smooth process for manufacturers, as Apple's upcoming iPhones retain current iPhone 6 series designs. As with any new technology, however, the incorporation of Force Touch could affect display assembly yields and cause production slow downs.
Mass production for the next-gen iPhone is said to begin in August.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

Is Affiliate Marketing any good is a question I get quite a lot from my subscribers. I always tell them that it can be awesome or terrible. A lot depends on the Affiliate Marketer, some are very lucky to make a lot of money almost right away and for some, like myself when I started out. It took me a long time, it was an uphill struggle for such a long time and then I figured out that there is a system, a step by step process you need to follow, and you cannot skip a step. The process that I am referring to is not difficult, not rocket science, and there is no magic involved.
Step 1 – Researching a Niche
Many internet marketing new starters ask if affiliate marketing is any good and they will never find out if they don't approach things the correct way. So, start with research and by going to Google and search for "trends". The first result you will find is for Google Trends, and this is a great start. The idea here is to find a hot top, you should by now be presented with a list of Today's Hot Trends – under the top 10 searched terms for today you will notice another link for More Hot Trends
