Photoshop CS3: Mastering Layers

Photoshop CS3: Mastering Layers

A solid understanding of layers is a crucial foundation for mastering most other advanced Photoshop techniques. In this fast-paced session, you'll learn how to use Photoshop layers to streamline how you build your Photoshop files.

This 90-minute workshop covers the real-world use of Photoshop's layer functions. Including:

• A complete overview of Photoshop's Layers palette.
• Color Adjustment Layers.
• Layer Masks.
• Type Layers.
• Shape Layers.
• Blending Modes.
• Tricks for organizing complex files.

90-minute Workshops. Learn in the morning and get back to work.

At CreativeTechs, we're taking a new approach to learning. We've organized days of training content into dozens of smaller, bite-sized modules. The results are shorter, more focused classes that allow busy creative professionals get what they need, without having to set aside an entire day or two (or three) for longer classes.

Here's the pitch: Join us Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 9:30am, pick up a couple new skills, and get back to work before lunch. You can put what you learned into use the same day.

Clear, exhaustive explanations in a comfy setting. Plus a complete handout to take home. In 90 minutes you'll pick up dozens of tips and techniques that you can put to work right away.

Photoshop Thursdays: Non-Destructive Retouching.

Every Thursday morning at CreativeTechs, Photoshop guru Jason Hoppe leads an ongoing series of classes covering non-destructive retouching techniques. The secret to working non-descrutively is mastering ways to improve your images without overwriting the original image data. Done properly, you protect your full image quality as you make edits, and you retain flexibility when clients come back with later change requests.

This workshop on Photoshop Layers is the cornerstone for many advanced retouching techniques.

Also Available: Personalized & Group Training.

In addition to the morning 90-minute workshops, all topics are available for personalized group training sessions, or individual one-on-one training. Plus, because of how we've developed smaller, bite-sized topics, we can easily combine a variety of topics to help fit your team's particular needs.
