About This Course

Learn to use Adobe Photoshop CS4 to edit images, process photos, and create original graphics. Whether you're a photographer, graphic artist, or just want to alter old family photos, Photoshop is the program for you! Discover the fastest and most effective ways to use Photoshop from an expert and columnist for Photoshop User magazine (who has twice been nominated for the Photoshop Hall of Fame).

This course will teach you how to use Photoshop with detailed, step-by-step instructions that you'll have no trouble following--even if you've never used a computer for graphics before!

Photoshop CS4 has a host of impressive new features for photographers, and you'll meet a number of them. We'll begin with an introduction to the Photoshop environment. Next you'll learn how to create simple digital paintings. Then you'll be editing your own photographs to remove red-eye, get rid of dust and scratches, and correct image exposure. You'll also learn how to switch the backgrounds on images and how to remove wrinkles and blemishes from photos, just like they do in magazines.

Review

Thank you for all of your guidance. You may not realize this but I have taken 3 courses from you in the past 3 months and I am amazed at what I have learned. I essentially took these courses because I wanted to understand the software not because I had a specific goal in mind, Photography is a hobby. I never cease to be amazed at the capabilities of Photoshop. It is truly remarkable software. I find I want to learn even more and that I have just scratched the surface. I would like to be proficient and possibly use it professionally at some point (I'm actually retired so it would probably be part time at best if I ever attain that level of knowledge). I will take a Dreamweaver course next. Your courses are wonderful. The mix of exercises and assignments was an ideal way to learn and apply the techniques discussed in each lesson. The discussion areas were very helpful and I felt I received very good and timely responses to my questions. I worked much harder than I ever did in school. I admire your teaching ability and your incredible talent and expertise.
