ONLINE: This five-week course offers a friendly, hands-on introduction to the basics of Adobe Photoshop. You’ll start with the essentials: how to open and save images, organize your files using Adobe Bridge and understand best practices for naming and storing photos. From there, you’ll learn how to use key tools for techniques like cropping; layers; and basic adjustments to improve light, contrast and color, or to convert images to black and white. As your skills grow, you’ll explore how to select and edit specific parts of an image, use Adobe Camera Raw for quick adjustments and experiment with combining images into creative composites. You’ll also learn to add text and playfully alter visual elements to shape your own photo reality. This course is designed for beginners, with an emphasis on familiarity, creativity and fun, not perfection or expertise. | Lecture + Q&A, Facilitated discussion, Active Skill Learning.
