The perfect workshop series for Photoshop beginners. This class assumes that you are new to Photoshop and want to learn how to retouch and adjust your images.
This four session workshop is a comprehensive overview of Photoshop. By the end of this workshop you’ll have the skills you need to edit your images using Photoshop.
These sessions are jam packed with hands-on activities which allow you to learn by doing. Sample files will be made available to those who purchase the workshop or for a small fee to those who wish to watch the free sessions. You don’t need the sample files to follow along but it’s highly encouraged.
The first session covers the interface, tools, and menus. The second session explains some more advanced topics including layers, masks, and sharpening. The third session puts all of your new skills to use as you retouch a portrait and scenic photograph. Our final session is open to allow us to dive in to any open questions, finish projects and wrap up the workshop without being rushed.
*Note:* This workshop will be using Photoshop CC but applies to all versions of Photoshop from CS3 and above. To follow along with the sessions you’ll need a copy of Photoshop installed on your home computer.
