This course will provide artists from all backgrounds with a working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop. We will begin with building a foundation of solid selection techniques and the creation and manipulation of layers. Students will then be introduced to Photoshop's tools such as the clone stamp, healing brush, text and the replace color tool. Simple masks, the color channels and the image adjustment menu will all be used to introduce retouching and color correction. Filters, effects, image size and proper file management will also be discussed.
Prerequisite: SWC-1012, Macintosh Basics, or equivalent.
