Who Should Attend Students who wish to pursue a career or want to take their personal work to a professional level in photography, graphic design, publishing, or fine art image production, and need to become
proficient in the Photoshop CS5 application (this course is applicable to CS4 as well).
How I teach this class Photoshop is a complex program, but I simplify the training process through hands on instruction. First we teach the concept in simple, bite size modules, then by example, and finally
