Adobe Photoshop is the best place to start learning computer graphics. You will use Photoshop in just about everything you do, creating web pages, doing illustrations, doing page layouts for print. A basic understanding of raster images, which is what Photoshop is all about, is critical for your success.
A personal on-site training session is a pretty intense experience. It is three hours of focus, and although I always include some time to review a skill, it is mostly all new material. If you are using Photoshop for the first time, this is what we will cover
• Introduction to the Adobe interface. Many people skip over this, and it becomes an ongoing problem, instead of the pleasure that it should be be. Adobe software is designed for creative people, and works best if you take the time to familiarize yourself with their icons (pictures). You don't need to memorize things, and you really don't need to memorize what things are called. It's a visual interface that is intuitive. And the really good news is that once you are familiar with it in Adobe Photoshop, it can apply to other Adobe software programs, such as Illustrator.
• Introduction to raster images. Before you jump into image manipulation, it's critical to understand how to manage pixels, which is what Adobe Photoshop is all about. If you get pixels wrong, you will either have an image that is much to large to display or print, or too small and all "pixelated".
• Working with file types. Some Photoshop operations can only be done with a .psd file. Other times you will need to create a jpeg, a tiff, or a .pdf. There is a reason for each.
• Working with the brush. This is the most basic tool of Adobe Photoshop. It is a painting program.
• Working with image manipulation tools. You don't have to have years of experience in Photoshop to "Photoshop" an image. It's surprisingly easy. You can remove blemishes, repair imperfections in old photos, that sort of thing. It's a lot of fun, too!
To prepare for your Photoshop session, be sure that Photoshop is installed and running on your computer. No, it doesn't matter what version you have or whether it is on a Mac or a PC. Just let me know. Give yourself three hours of focused time by turning off your phone and telling people to leave you alone for a while. Don't worry, we will take breaks!
