The objective of this session is to familiarize students with Photoshop and some of its basic tools. In this session you will learn how to:

Navigate the program
Customize the workspace
Use keyboard shortcuts
Resize, crop and straighten images
Save and print files
Make basic adjustments to color, contrast, exposure, etc.

Each student is given a collection of photographs that are used to demonstrate various tools. Everyone works together on the same photos as instruction is given in order to maximize the learning process.

You will need a laptop with the latest versions of Photoshop CC, Camera Raw and Bridge (Photoshop Elements and Lightroom are not taught in this class). Use of a mouse is highly recommended. You can download a trial version of the program at http://www.adobe.com . Students should also possess a strong set of basic computer skills.

I need to ask that students refrain from wearing perfumes, colognes and scented lotions in class because I am allergic to those things. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
