Course Description
Photoshop CS4 is a sophisticated and powerful program that can enable photographers to find, optimize, and prepare their images for output. However, since it’s also used by graphic artists, it contains many tools that are not essential for photographers. This VTC course is designed to hone in on just the tools and techniques that photographers need in order to make their images the best they can be without wasting time on tools that are less suited for photographers. Ellen Anon will take you through the new features in CS4 before tackling Bridge and Camera Raw. You will learn the basics of Photoshop, including layer masks, before you continue on to more advanced techniques, such as adding copyrights, using content aware scaling, extending exposure latitude, and more! Work files are included. To begin learning Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers today, simply click one of the topics below.
