Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop

PhotoshopAdobe Photoshop is one of the most popular photo editing programs utilized for both personal and professional purposes. In this class, students will learn the basics of the program including, but not limited to, becoming familiar with the work area, basic tool functionality, opening images, resizing images, zooming and panning, working with layers, and much more. This two-day instructional course consists of lecture and follow-along application. Students will have the opportunity to take home an optional assignment that will test their skills.

The instructor is available to students after the class ends to provide guidance and mentorship.
