Introduction to Photoshop

Please e-mail me to place your name on a waiting list for any of my workshops. As soon as we have enough students, we will call and schedule a class. If time is an issue, we offer one-on-one personalized training for $350 per day in our studio. Or call to discuss on-location training.

This class is designed for those with little to no experience in Photoshop. You must have a working knowledge of your computer's operating system! In other words, how to open, save, close files, and other basic commands.

We will walk you through the program, showing you what the different tools do, and how to use them. Many of the tools and palettes are not "user friendly" and do no lend themselves to "trial by error" learning. Soon, we will be scanning, cropping, and enhancing images; saving in multiple formats; and using the correct resolution for optimum results.
