Adobe Photoshop Basics
Have you ever wanted to take an ordinary picture and make it extraordinary by cutting pieces out, creating an antique or contemporary look, adding a drop shadow, some great text or texture? You've got to start with the basics! Once you've grasped the concept of layers, move on to selection tools, colorizing, texturizing, filters, and fills. Then on to cloning to fix that scratched heirloom picture and basic text applications. Transparent background images and creating images for the web will also be covered. We can scratch the surface of this photo editing software in the time allotted, but will point you in the right direction to expand your skills with your new creative outlet. Advanced computer users with previous knowledge of image file types and specific uses only, please.
