Adobe Training Description
In this course, you'll expand on the skills covered in the Photoshop® 7.0: Level 1 and Photoshop® 7.0: Level 2 courses by working on a variety of image types. While you'll learn to work with additional specific Photoshop commands and tools, you'll also study concepts that tie together multiple techniques you already know to create effects and make your work more efficient. You'll first work to clean up line art, and then use lots of shortcuts and styling techniques for layers. Then, you'll turn to photographic images, repairing an old damaged picture, softening the focus on one to add atmosphere, and will colorize grayscale images with a variety of techniques. You'll learn to create realistic three-dimensional effects by distorting layers and applying lighting effects. Lastly, you'll save multi-step processes as actions that you can apply later to any image.
