About this Event
Description
Many photographers know that Adobe Photoshop is the most powerful tool for photo editing available, and yet are reluctant to use it. Usually, this is because they perceive it to be too complex. In this class we will break through the complexity and learn how Photoshop works and how to use it for amazing photo editing.
Over the course of three weeks we will examine the essentials of Adobe Photoshop for the purposes of photo editing. Using downloaded example images, students will follow along with techniques and edit live with the instructor. We will explore every tool used in modern day photo editing and open up a world of creative possibilities for your photography.
Prerequisites
This class uses the most recent version of Adobe Photoshop, not Photoshop Elements. You should have this software downloaded before class begins.
