From the desk of Ken Colen, President On Top of the World Communities We are used to the couplet “thank you” followed by “you’re welcome”. When it comes to the Master the Possibilities’ experience, the sequence is reversed. We are completing our ninth year of operation and from the start we were open to the public. You are always WELCOME at this center for lifelong learning. Over the years our number of faculty grew. Our offerings now typically top 1200 annually. Enrollments over the past few years average over 25,000 yearly. Most importantly, we have grown a student body of over 5,000 who share with you their curiosity and love of learning. Indeed, you are the most important part of this enterprise. For this we say “Thank you”.
We finish our ninth year with this, our 33rd edition of the catalog. We have always tried to combine popular “encore programs” with brand new offerings. Half of this catalog is new to our curriculum. There are academic and general interest classes, film series, health and wellness, hands on art and computer training. We try to insure that everyone can find something of interest with interesting people.
The League of Women Voters continues its’ series of candidates forums. We want to offer opportunities for you to engage with what’s happening in Central Florida. Field trips to local businesses...presentations on what’s happening in Marion County...all of these combine to integrate our learning community into the greater community. Be part of it....master all the possibilities. Learn and enjoy as we prepare for out tenth year of this lifelong learning enterprise and experiment! Let’s all KEEP LEARNING and we will all CARRY ON! TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW TO HELP KEEP MTP GROWING:
When Master the Possibilites began in 2006, our first year’s enrollment was a very respectable 3,000. Now it is not uncommon to have 3,000 enrollments in a month and annual numbers exceeding 25,000. Within this growth context we continue to put the first emphasis on quality and variety. You expect it and we demand it. With success there also come some changes and modifications in policies and procedures in how we do business. Here’s a “top ten list” of things we want you to know in order to make the administration of this program mutually beneficial.
1. REFUND POLICY. Since we began over eight years ago, the encouraged for all classes. (You can always cancel...up to a week refund policy was simple: If you paid for a class and didn’t attend, before with no penalty.)

Candler Hills Community Center REFUND POLICY Since we began in 2006, the refund policy was simple: If you paid for a class and didn’t attend, you received your full tuition back… regardless of when you let us know. Unfortunately, this has caused some problems. Class costs are dependent on tuition; when we plan on a certain number of paid students and have less, our programming ability is affected. Many of our classes have wait lists. If someone doesn’t show up at the last minute, we can’t get to the wait list to accommodate these anxious students. We want to be as generous as possible…so here’s what we have started. Students will still be asked to pay within a week of their registration. There will be full tuition refunds up to a week before the class begins. (We can provide a check, credit your card or issue a voucher.) Students who cancel within the week before the class start date will forfeit the full tuition paid. If, for whatever reason, MTP has to cancel a class at any time, full tuition paid by students will be refunded. Let’s hope that this system works for all of us. If you have any questions, please contact the MTP office at 861-9751. Thank you for your support.
4 NEW CLASSES ADDED THROUGHOUT THE FALL Even though this catalog is filled with classes and presentations, we regularly add to the curriculum. How do you find out about these “NEW OPPORTUNITIES”? The best way is to check often at least weekly, on our website. We will list NEW CLASSES on the homepage. Sign up for e-mail alerts too. You can always stop by the office – just ask us “what’s new”? Please check the monitor outside the MTP office for any changes. It’s a pleasure to bring you the best in lifelong learning and your interest and support is most essential. Thank you!
Classroom assignments are always subject to change depending on the number of enrollment per class. Please check the monitor outside the MTP office for any changes.

Those taking a three class series online have six months access of all the material. Working with Pictures from your Android or iPhone If you are using a modern smartphone there are probably more pictures on it than you know what to do with. This class will detail the process of offloading those images and putting them into digital albums to share with friends and family. Rather than waste those captured moments, join us for an easy to understand casual class and learn how to make these assets into easy to access, lasting memories. Understanding Exposure — The Foundation of Good Photography Learning how to make the correct exposure is the best way to really enjoy picture taking. Whether you use a point and shoot camera or a high end DSLR, the fundamentals of good exposure are the same. Information will be presented as a live demonstration of picture taking with the results appearing on screen as the pictures are taken. Join us and begin to really have fun with your camera. Bring your Digital Photography to the Next Level without Expensive Equipment Even the average point and shoot digital camera these days has features that allow the user to capture stunning images. Learn how to use these features. Learn about inexpensive accessories that add a whole new dimension to your picture taking. Create images you will be proud of and want to share with family and friends. Using your Camera’s Controls Many people leave their camera set on Automatic for every picture taking situation. Learn how easy it is to use other settings and get results you did not think the camera was capable of. Handouts will include a quick step guide for typical subjects. Non-technical presentation that average people can really make use of. Don’t let good pictures be an accident that only happens on occasion. Put the odds in your favor and take consistently better pictures. Making Digital Greeting Cards with your Photos and Videos Create exciting, professional video slide shows with your digital photos and videos. No software or equipment to buy. Use them as holiday greetings or just say “Hi” to cheer someone up. Your friends and family will be amazed. This is easy to do even for computer beginners. In a few short steps you will have a video greeting card that you can download and forward or send with an invitation via email. They can watch it online as many times as they want. You use your photos; pick a theme, the music and the online service does the rest. An Introduction to HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photography All photos are in effect an image of light passing through or reflecting off a subject. What the camera sees is different than what the human eye sees. The HDR process allows you to change what the camera sees into what you see with your eyes. The result is often stunning and is being used by professionals everywhere. No expensive equipment is required. This can be done even with point and shoot cameras. Take Professional Looking Portraits with Simple Flash Learn professional tips and tricks for taking amazing portraits using a simple light source. Many digital cameras have a built in flash.

ONLINE: Digital Darkroom For users of Photoshop Elements or Photoshop CS • AVAILABLE 24/7 • Online Instructor: Robert Levin Cost $25 per class or $60 for a set of 3 classes NOTE: Students have access to the class material for two months. Those taking a three class series online have six months access of all the material.
Downloading, Sorting and Storing Photos from Your Camera Whether using Organizer in Photoshop Elements or Bridge in Photoshop CS sorting and placing your images in folders is the first step in creating a good digital image working environment. This class will go over all the options available to you. We will also cover the details of working in Camera RAW and the advantages of using Smart Objects. Correcting Overall Exposure, Color and Contrast Due to constantly varying lighting conditions that we all encounter, perfect exposures out of the camera are a rarity. Just about every image will require some tweaking to look its best. Learning to use the tools provided in these great programs to accomplish this is the focus of this class. You can easily enhance an average shot and give it attention grabbing snap. Sharpening and Other Filters Every digital image brought into an editing program can stand some sharpening. Learn how to do this correctly. Too much sharpening can be worse than none at all. There are a whole host of filters in these programs that for the most part remain unused. Learn what they do and how to use them. The transformations they can produce are truly amazing. Selecting and Changing Portions of a Picture All of the effects learned in the previous classes are “global” changes. They affect the entire image. Many times you only need to apply these effects to a portion of an image. Both of the Photoshop versions provide a number of tools to make a selection of part of an image. Learning these selection methods and mastering them is a must if you want to use the enhancement tools effectively. Join us for an easy paced session covering this material. Integrating Several Pictures and Picture Elements Bringing together elements from several pictures can often achieve spectacular results. Unlike those who shoot for National Geographic most of our everyday picture taking is not done as a photojournalistic endeavor requiring us to only record what was actually seen in person. It is an art form allowing us to express ourselves and “make” a picture as opposed to just “take” a picture. With a few easy steps you can add magic to your photos. Basic Retouching Back in the early versions of these programs, removing dust spots, blemishes and other distractions were a chore. Today the tools for retouching are truly magic wands. Learn about the “Content Aware” tools and how to use them to make your pictures perfect. Learning to use these tools is the first step in mastering the art of Photo Restoration. This class will also cover the use of masking. Using Plug-ins Several companies offer programs that work within Photoshop and other programs. They are considered plug-ins. These programs offer features to further enhance your images. They typically have a number of presets or pre-formatted steps that are applied to the image and change the appearance. The picture takes on a unique look. The results are often stunning and these programs have become very popular. We will cover the most popular offerings. Resizing and Preparing for Printing Many questions arise regarding resizing images. Understanding the options available for making these changes within Photoshop can answer these questions. There are several file formats that images can be saved in. Each one has its own properties. Which ones you use will depend on the end use of the images. Preparing your images for printing has its own set of requirements. We will cover both these subjects in detail.
