Course Overview
This intermediate course builds on knowledge of Photoshop and expands the list of creative techniques. While this course is strongly oriented toward design details and functions, it also explores the realities that apply to the use of Photoshop.
Participants will be taught how to perform more complex and challenging tasks using a host of tools and features. Additionally, participants will learn to use painting tools and blending modes to create shading effects, perform adjustments to contrast and colour balance, and other ways to manipulate pictures so that they look great
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for participants who have little or no experience using Photoshop. We also recommend this course to students who are interested to establish a solid foundation in DTP.
Pre-requisites
Participants should be familiar with the basics of Photoshop. Those who have attended the Photoshop – Level 1 course would have an added advantage.
