Adobe Training Overview
Students will expand on the skills covered in the Photoshop Basic Skills 1 and 2 courses by working on a variety of image types. While students will learn to work with additional specific Photoshop commands and tools, they'll also study concepts that tie together multiple techniques they already know to create effects and make their work more efficient.
Adobe Training Prerequisites
Completion of the Photoshop 6 Basic Skills 1 and 2 courses, or equivalent knowledge.
Delivery Method
Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.
Benefits
Students will first work to clean up line art, then use lots of shortcuts and styling techniques for layers. Then students will turn to photographic images, repairing an old damaged picture, softening the focus on one to add atmosphere, and will colorize grayscale images with a variety of techniques. Students will learn to create realistic three dimensional effects by distorting layers and with lighting effects. Lastly, students will save multi-step processes to actions that they can apply later to any image.
Target Student
Students enrolling in this course should understand the tools, techniques, and concepts covered in the Photoshop 6 Basic Skills 1 and 2 courses, and should be interested in learning techniques that will increase efficiency as well as tap into Photoshop’s potential for creating interesting effects.
