Do you use
Photoshop on a
Mac®? On a PC®?
If you’re like most Photoshop users, you picked up the basics quickly —
and then your learning curve ended as quickly as it began. Oh, you might
dabble a little bit from time to time, exploring new tools and functions on
your own or with a manual by your side. But the minute you get stuck in
unfamiliar territory, there’s always that powerful urge to retreat quickly
to safe ground doing the same old things the same old way. Isn’t it
frustrating seeing all of Photoshop’s menus, submenus, settings and
palettes and realizing how few you know how to use?
Makes no difference
whatsoever.
What you learn here works
on both platforms and
covers topics common
to current and earlier
versions of Photoshop.
In one day, you’ll acquire dozens of new
tricks, tips and shortcuts you can put to
use immediately.
Get your images
where you want
them — FAST!
Any Photoshop pro will admit you can’t learn it all in a single day (and
be wary of courses that make that claim). The content of this workshop
is built around topics that will give you the biggest, fastest payback.
It doesn’t waste your time on pointers and techniques you’ll seldom
use or need.
Manipulating images by
trial-and-error is not only
frustrating, it’s also highly
time-consuming. The tips,
insights and skills you’ll
pick up in this course will
help you arrive at your
desired look or effect
quickly, without the side
trips and dead ends that
may have slowed you
down in the past.
Instead, you’ll see exactly what steps it
takes to create:
Rich, eye-pleasing textures that give life to an otherwise lackluster image
●
Silhouettes and drop shadows that can add drama to any page
Don’t wait for next time
to roll around. Upgrading
your Photoshop skills
is just too important to
leave on the back burner
any longer.
●
Useful effects, such as feathering edges, cascading blends,
attention-grabbing blurs and bevels
●
Duotones, vignettes, montages, image gradients and other graphic treatments that have “class” written all over them
●
And you’ll get on-the-spot answers to production problems
that plague even experienced Photoshop users:
What can I do to ensure the highest-quality scans every time?
●
My tones and colors always seem just a little “off” — what am I doing wrong?
●
● Printed pieces don’t always match what I saw on screen — why? How do I prevent
it from happening?
Are any tools better at retouching than others?
●
What purposes do masking and filters serve?
●
2
While my results are OK, I just know I’m not using layers right — can you simplify it for me?
●
“Ah-ha’s” and how-to’s galore — plus clear answers
to the most frequently asked Photoshop questions
(including any that have been stumping you!)
Tricks to achieve top quality without creating monster files
●
Demos of powerful but seldom-used tools in Photoshop’s tool bar
●
A quick and easy way to save printing costs without sacrificing impact
●
Using Photoshop to improve underexposed or poor-quality images or to repair damaged ones
●
Time-savers for creating complex collages and montages
●
Ways the pros use Photoshop to dress up ordinary images
●
Want to emboss your logo onto an image? Here’s how
●
Colorizing black-and-white photos and other special effects
●
A briefing on Photoshop’s “Actions” palette — what it can do, how and when to use it —
plus, how it can save you valuable time!
●
A lesson in creating interesting textures using various filters
●
Tips for creating website images
●
Steps to follow when creating print images
●
Learn the tricks top designers use …
Your newly acquired Photoshop savvy will help you replicate practically any graphic treatment that
catches your eye. You’ll be able to skim through magazines, ads, websites and brochures, find the look
that really grabs you and mentally go through the Photoshop steps to accomplishe it.
With a little practice, you’ll soon be creating similar hot looks in order to make your own work stand
out and get the reaction you want.
… and the shortcuts that can slash both time and frustration
from any Photoshop project
Keyboard shortcuts that are twice as fast as pull-down menus
●
Using Actions to automate a group of repetitive functions
●
How to get your images rotated
right the first time
●
How to use Adjustment Layers
to tweak colors quickly without
changing file information

Beginners.

the long run.
Frequent users with limited expertise.
You know who you are: You’re probably selftaught and somewhat proud of your current
abilities. But you long to know more, to
explore places you’ve never ventured before,
to have someone who knows this stuff cold
tell you what you’re doing right and what
you’re doing wrong.
“Spectators” eager to become active
Photoshop users.
You’ve been observing others long enough.
Now you’re ready to sit at the controls and

at different speeds. Some like to experiment on their own; others get lost easily and need
frequent help.
You can learn more in less time with our hands-off teaching approach. You’ll be able to
concentrate and learn without being slowed down by keyboarding or having to wait for the
entire group to catch up. (And doesn’t a day away from the computer screen sound great?)
Once you’ve returned to the office, you can practice what you’ve learned at your own speed
and convenience.
