Adobe Photoshop (Level 1)

Level I begins a thorough exploration of Adobe Photoshop aimed at program users who want to shore up their knowledge, take their skills to the next level and execute their work more effectively and efficiently. Topics start with the basics and quickly advance to intermediate by the end of the class. Professional imaging concepts and techniques are discussed in detail.

Photoshop Level I introduces Adobe's premier image editing software to both beginning and existing users. Beginners will get a solid introduction to the program and make their start knowing best practices for professional design work.

Existing users will get a more thorough grounding in Photoshop than they may have started with and be able to fill in any gaps in their knowledge. Efficient, non-destructive working methods are stressed, along with understanding the underlying principles of the tools being addressed.

Beyond developing familiarity with the program interface, topics will include analyzing images by eye and by numeric data, making color corrections, repairing image defects, creating photo-compositions, making efficient selections, applying masks, and more.
