Description
Adobe Photoshop for many years has been considered the industry standard software for photo and raster image editing professionals. Since the advent of mainstream digital scanners and cameras during the past decade, digital imaging has entered the education sector and has become an important topic to understand and master. Using image correction and manipulation techniques, educators can now turn average photographs into brillant and stunning images on their own personal computers. This workshop is designed to help educators unfamilar with good image editing techniques to understand how Adobe Photoshop works.
Topics will include an introduction to the Photoshop workspace, working with color, cropping, layering, masking, and image file types.
