This PhotoShop workshop is designed specifically for photographers. Photoshop is a very complicated, all-inclusive computer program that can be confusing and hard to learn and understand.
Our day will be spent concentrating on the features of this massive program, covering specific techniques that a photographer needs to be familiar with to be competitive in this market.

We will cover, learn, and discuss the many tools and techniques photographers use every day.
PhotoShop is the industry standard when it comes to digital image manipulation and retouching,
and this workshop will use PhotoShop as it's foundation.

For this workshop please bring your laptop and have photoshop installed. If you don't have Photoshop please download the trial version (free) from Adobe.com. You'll be downloading the Creative Cloud Trial that is good for 30 days. Also make sure you have a "two-button" mouse with your laptop to use at the program. Photoshop cannot be used effectively with the touch-pad on a laptop.

The morning session from 9-Noon is Photoshop Basics. We'll be covering the normal things a photographer will do and the tools he might use as part of their "post processing" workflow.

The afternoon session from 1-4pm is a more of an intermediate menu of Photoshop techniques.
These are more complicated retouching tools, correction concepts, and tool usage.
