Photoshop for Photographers

From lassos to healing brushes, and histograms to crop tools, this 4-week class introduces the student to the image-editing power (and fun) of Photoshop. The course will deliver a broad understanding of the core tools in Photoshop along with important introductions to digital imaging concepts like pixels, resolution, resampling, jpegs, color.

While Photoshop is a large and complex tool, the class will keep it simple by focusing on one tool and one technique at a time. Getting a solid grounding in the basics will help each student reach for more complex techniques in the future. Often the simplest solution is the best!

We will cover the basics of the Tool Bar in the first and second class (coupled with hands-on exercises). In the third and fourth weeks, we will tackle color correction, contrast, basic black & white conversions, histograms, and fun-with-filters.
