Adobe Photoshop is the premier photo editing software tool available. Whether you are working on a webpage, Powerpoint presentation, or a document to be printed, Photoshop can be used to enhance your images. Participants will learn about image file types, cropping images, compositing (putting several images together), ghosting images (for use as webpage backgrounds), using layers, creating masks, applying filters, and formatting text with bevels and other effects.
The internet was originally created by U.S. Department of Defense researchers to exchange textual documents. Once someone discovered how to add graphics to the exchanged document, however, the internet really began to take off.
With PhotoShop, you can:
1.) Create original artwork
2.) Design graphics for a webpage or website
3.) Make "ghosted" images that can be used as the background for webpages
4.) Correct flaws and imperfections in a photograph
5.) Create a photo collage: a composition made up of several different photos
6.) Create a deceptively realistic photo that is not real
7.) Alter photographs for political / propaganda purposes
8.) Design smashing layouts for a classroom newspaper, brochure, or flyer
9.) Have a ton of fun being CREATIVE!
PhotoShop is a program that is so rich, complex, and powerful, people literally spend most of the waking hours of their life using it, and are still always learning new tricks and techniques! Thankfully, however, the learning curve for PhotoShop is not steep, and users can create very appealing products with a short introduction to the concepts and tools of PhotoShop. That is one of the primary goals of this workshop!
