Hi Marilyn,
So glad you enjoyed the class on spreadsheets. You are already in touch with Obie, so I would check with him to see if you can join a Fix-It-Friday session and get help with photos on a Mac. If so you would register on our website for a Fix-It-Friday date that works for you. They are available every Friday.
Best,
Theresa
