Photoshop Intensive Course
Introduction to Photoshop CS5 - Beginners

Photoshop Intensive is designed to take complete beginners through to a solid and comfortable level of proficiency in their image editing, in the shortest possible time frame. Michael advocates and teaches a 'non destructive' approach to image editing, backed by his own expertise as a working professional photographer.

Each participant brings and works from their own laptop computer, with Adobe Photoshop CS4 or CS5 pre-loaded ( we can load a trial version for you - please enquire before the course). This way you can be assured of having the optimum system preference settings, actions and customised keyboard shortcuts created during the course always available for use on your computer.

Michael will show you the best way to download and sort your images, and then utilise the power of Photoshop to correct and enhance your photographs prior to printing. During this fun and informative session, we also discuss the importance of archiving your files within the digital workflow.

The Photoshop Intensive course is held in Melbourne and runs over one full 8 hour day ( with lunch & refreshments provided ). The course is limited to a maximum of 8 participants.

The course topics include:

* Adobe Bridge overview
