By Christy Montenegro As Professor Croom stated, here’s the last piece of the puzzle for PR Pubs! This class took me by surprise.

I am sooooooo glad to finally be working on Photoshop! I took Photoshop I at OCCC a couple of semesters ago and I’m kinda very glad I did (even though it didn’t transfer to OU as credit).
