µ Photoshop Introduction

Overview: In this one-day course, you will learn to use several tools for selecting parts of images, and will move, duplicate, and resize images. You will learn to use layers, and to apply layer effects and filters to create special effects, including lighting and texture effects. Additionally, you will use painting tools and blending modes to create shading effects, and will perform adjustments to contrast and color balance. You will save images in formats for print and Web use.
Course Duration: 1day (9am - 5pm)

   µ Photoshop Advanced

Overview: In this one-day course, you'll further your understanding of isolating image areas by creating and saving    masks with specialized tools, commands, modes, and layer elements. You'll learn how to use vector paths for a variety of purposes, including masking, clipping paths, and illustration. You'll also learn to create and apply creative elements such as gradients, patterns, and color overlays, and to save them along with effects in easy-to-apply layer styles.

Course Duration: 1day (9am - 5pm)

 µ Photoshop Artistic Effects (Photoshop Extreme!)

Overview: In this course, you'll expand on the skills covered in the Photoshop 7.0: Level 1 and Photoshop 7.0: Level 2 courses by working on a variety of image types. While you'll learn to work with additional specific Photoshop commands and tools, you'll also study concepts that tie together multiple techniques you already know to create effects and make your work more efficient. You'll first work to clean up line art, and then use lots of shortcuts and styling techniques for layers. Then, you'll turn to photographic images, repairing an old damaged picture, softening the focus on one to add atmosphere, and will colorize grayscale images with a variety of techniques. You'll learn to create realistic three-dimensional effects by distorting layers and applying lighting effects. Lastly, you'll save multi-step processes as actions that you can apply later to any image. 

Course Duration: 1 day (9am - 5pm)

µ Photoshop Web Design

Overview: In this one-day course you will use basic techniques and concepts about image resolution and identify factors that contribute to file size. You will learn to understand GIF, JPEG, and PNG file formats so that you can choose the right one for each image. You will be instructed on how to calibrate your monitor, and preview images for both platforms so you can adjust images to optimize their appearance on both Macintosh and Windows computers; control dithering in images, using it when necessary to improve images, and avoiding it at times when it detracts from the quality; and use the Web palette appropriately to optimize images for viewing on computers displaying only 256 colors. And you will use Photoshop and ImageReady to create layouts of Web pages, aligning items precisely to one another with guides and a grid; and slice complex images into sections, and use ImageReady to generate HTML code that joins the slices together in a table on a Web page, including JavaScript rollovers and URL links. Finally, you will create animated GIF images that combine slow transitions and fast motion effects, while still maintaining small file sizes.
