There are 7 modules in this course

Adobe® Photoshop® CC: Part 1 focuses on some of the basic features of Photoshop so that the student can navigate the environment and use Photoshop tools to work with photographic images. In addition, the orientation to Adobe® Bridge and organization of files in Bridge is covered. Although Photoshop is used by a variety of professionals, from photographers to designers to videographers, Photoshop Part 1 will focus mainly on the photography component. The illustration and animation techniques are covered in subsequent levels of Photoshop.

This course is a great component of your preparation for the Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) in Visual Design Using Adobe Photoshop exam. Target students include professional or amateur photographers who want to use the robust features of Photoshop to enhance, modify, and organize their photographs, and anyone interested in working toward the Visual Design Using Adobe Photoshop certification. In this course, you will: identify the components and capabilities of Photoshop; create basic images; manage selections and layers; modify and repair images, and manage colors; refine images by adjusting layers, using camera raw, and applying advanced image refinement; and import, export, organize, and save files. This course requires that you have Adobe Photoshop installed on a Windows PC. The course setup instructions provided in the first module of the course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.

Being able to take good photographs is no longer restricted to professionals thanks to automatic settings of digital cameras, which allow you to shoot hundreds of pictures with ease and speed. Of course, even with camera advancements, many photos need adjustment to become the picture you envisioned when you took it. That's where Adobe® Photoshop® tools can help you to make your photos more professional and appealing.
