Training
programs on digital imaging, videos, training CDs, seminars,
workshops, conferences but which one(s) should you consider?
Each month we
expand into another area of advanced digital imaging. On December
2001 we begin this section on training. Over time this section
will expand, in the meantime, here is a starter on this page.
Until we actually attend we cannot render an opinion, so to
start with we list various alternative digital
imaging training programs.
