hmm, well he is not "guruish" his is a guru, and unfortunately for you
living in Colorado, but he could probably put you in touch with someone in
your area that he feels is up to par for training people. He is Ben
Willmore, who is not just a guy that knows Photoshop inside out, but also a
guy who is down to earth enough to relay that information for others to
learn from. No fluff, not bluff, Ben is definitely at the top of my list for
quality trainers in PS. I will not put his email here for ethical reasons,
but his web site, which you can contact him through is
http://www.digitalmastery.com.
Katrin Eismann is the best I have seen for using PS to restore old
photographs, and correct more recent shots. She too is able to get her
expertise across in a comfortable manner. You can contact her via her web
site at
http://www.photoshopdiva.com
Take care,
Linda.
