To those who are new to the world of Photoshop, this introduction takes the fear out of getting started and learning the basics. I will explain the fundamental characteristics of digital images and image manipulation, and will demonstrate the basic tools, including:
- Sizing and cropping for prints, monitors and email
- Photoshop tools - what are they, and when to use them
- Lighting and darkening, controlling contrast
- Color manipulation and enhancement
- How and when to use filters and actions
- Simple adjustment layer techniques
- Red eye correction
- Pros and cons of shooting "Raw" vs. "JPEG" file formats
...and more
This workshop provides step-by-step instructions and practical photographic applications. You'll come away from this class with the ability to do basic image manipulation and with a foundation for moving to the next step in Photoshop.
(Instruction is given in Photoshop CS4, which can readily be applied to CS2 & CS3.)
