Adobe’s Photoshop software program is the industry standard for photographers, artists, and graphic designers who want to manipulate, retouch, or create digital images and illustrations. This class will give you a hands-on introduction to the workspace and tools of Photoshop CS3 needed to edit, create, and manipulate digital photographs and art works. We will cover layers, color and tonal correction, selection tools, image adjustment and manipulation, compositing images, and masks. (Class is suitable for all beginners who know just the fundamentals of computer and mouse use. Bring your digital images to class.)

New Media Arts offers a coordinated series of non-credit and credit classes. Our Fall 2008 courses include classes in the well-known and comprehensive digital imaging software program Photoshop, as well courses in selecting and using a digital camera, travel photography, documenting life using photos, studio lighting, Webpage making, and digital imaging. All classes are held in the New Media Arts PCATT Lab in Kopiko 202.
