Introduction to workspace, workflow & basic edits

This workshop is perfect for those whom have never even opened Photoshop as well as for people who have explored the software a bit on their own, but could use some basic tips and understanding. Photoshop can be used for all kinds of art making, but this workshop focuses on the tools mainly used with photography. Whether you’ve never even opened the software or have dabbled here and there, this workshop is for you. We’ll cover navigation of the Photoshop workspace and the workflow of browsing, organizing and processing RAW images in Bridge before bringing them into Photoshop. We’ll go over basic image editing and retouching, saving and exporting files, followed by a quick introduction to masking. Prior to class, students should have Adobe Photoshop already installed, and preferably have Adobe Bridge installed as well. Before the first session, the instructor will email you files that we will be working on in class.

Materials Needed:

• Computer with Adobe Photoshop and Bridge installed
• Notebook and pen for notes
• Zoom account (free) for access to class
• Additional tablet or screen (optional – suggested for seeing instructor while working)
