Students will need to know the basics of Photoshop, including opening images, working with layers, adjusting image quality, making selections, retouching images, using color, adding text and shapes, combining images, and applying filters. Students will work on several assignments in class throughout the semester with the guidance of the instructor. The projects are designed to reinforce what the students already know, and new techniques will be introduced to further develop both computer and design skills. Adobe offers an "All Apps" plan to students for just $19.99/mo. for the first year.
