What to Expect
- As this is a beginner’s level workshop, it will not cover advanced Photoshop techniques like creating 3D designs, working with video and other more intermediate and pro actions.
- As a lecture-style workshop, we do not encourage bringing your computer to “follow along” in the Photoshop program as there is no time to help with individual navigate via their own computers.
- Moving to Photoshop from other software solutions is a detailed and time consuming task and this workshop does *not* cover how to do that in detail as the variations and individual needs are endless.
Who Should Take This
Anyone who wants to use Photoshop to edit photos or create graphics for print or the web. If you’ve never used Photoshop, OR if you’ve played with Photoshop a little and gotten thoroughly confused, this workshop will make everything clear!
Hobbyist or amateur photographers with Photoshop Elements should take Getting Started with Photoshop Elements instead.
