Whether you are into digital photography, painting, scrapbooking or any visual art the chances are that you have a need to get a basic understanding of the world famous digital imaging software Adobe Photoshop.
This is an introductory + workshop. Skills discovered here can be applied to any visual art and particularly to photography, graphic design, photo restoration and digital scrapbooking. If students are interested we will also take a short look at how Photoshop can be incorporated in the Digital Workflow for photographers using Lightroom.
This course assumes no previous Photoshop experience or understanding. But if you have already had a play and become frustrated, this course will clear the fog and will provide a great foundation for your own future experiments.
Unlike many courses the pace will be gentle. You need to understand what is going on.
