What's Covered
This course will teach you how to use Adobe Photoshop to make colour corrections and repairs to digital images for print and the web.
Is this course taught on Windows or Mac?
Adobe Photoshop works and looks exactly the same on Windows and Mac OS, with the exception that two keyboard keys (control & command) are reversed. Because of that, we normally teach it on Mac. If you'd prefer to take the course with Photoshop on Windows, we'd be more than happy to prepare a workstation with Adobe Photoshop running on Windows.
Is this course Windows or Mac? CS4 or CS5
We currently teach using Adobe Photoshop CS4, as the materials covered in this course are still 100% relevant to CS5. Adobe has simply added more features to later versions of Photoshop.
Is there an exam?
There is no exam with this course, however this course will help you to prepare for the Adobe Certified Expert Exam, offered at Prometric Testing Centres throughout the world.
What book do I need?
You'll be provided with an official Adobe training workbook, which is yours to keep.
