This five-day workshop will propel participants deep into the world of Adobe Photoshop—the most powerful imaging program available. After defining the term “resolution,” we’ll begin our journey into the endless possibilities that Photoshop has to offer: image adjusting and color correction, retouching and restoration, creative tips and filters, image compositing, adding text to images, and much more.

Participants will master the basic tools (selections, retouching, paint brush,etc.) and menus of Photoshop and proceed to one of its most versatile, powerful and creative features—Layers.                        

Through demonstrations and hands-on practice, participants will quickly gain the skills necessary to handle their most challenging imagery needs. Evening lab hours are available to continue practicing new skills and techniques or create personal projects.
