Adobe Photoshop: A One-Day Workshop

Complete Seminar Details

If you're like most Photoshop users, you picked up the basics quickly and then your learning curve ended as quickly as it began.

Oh, you might dabble a little bit from time to time, exploring new tools and functions on your own or with a manual by your side. But the minute you get stuck in unfamiliar territory, there's always that powerful urge to retreat quickly to safe ground doing the same old things the same old way.

But isn't it frustrating seeing all of Photoshop's menus, submenus, settings and palettes and realizing how few you know how to use?

In one day, you'll acquire dozens of new tricks, tips and shortcuts that you can put to use immediately. Any Photoshop pro will tell you that you can't learn it all in a single day (and be wary of courses that make that claim). The content of this workshop is built around topics that will give you the biggest, fastest payback. It doesn't waste your time on pointers and techniques you'll seldom use or need.

Your newly acquired Photoshop savvy will help you replicate practically any graphic treatment that catches your eye. You'll be able to skim through magazines, ads, Web sites and brochures, find the "look" that really grabs you and mentally go through Photoshop steps that accomplished it.

With a little practice, you'll soon be creating similar "hot" looks that can make your own work stand out and get the reacion you want from the readers.

Everything you learn at this workshop opens a new door of Photoshop understanding. Not only will you take home specific skills, shortcuts and techniques, but you'll also come away with greater insights into how Photoshop works.

That means that any self-teaching you do, any manual-assisted training you attempt, any "experiments" you want to try will all come easier. You'll know enough and be confident enough to venture further and further into Photoshop's endless possibilities.
