Photoshop

Introduction

Hello, and welcome to our class on learning Photoshop. This course will teach you the basics of how to create and modify images, apply special effects, and save your images in formats suitable for display on the World Wide Web.

The course has been designed to cover the features in both Photoshop 6.0 and 7.0.

The course layout

Lecture notes

Each topic is explained in a series of lecture notes. These pages (usually from 5 to 15 pages per topic) explain the content you need to learn with examples to help you get a feel for the topic that is being discussed.

Links

The links section should be explored for an hour or so after all the lecture notes have been read in a topic module. This page has links to resources on the Web related to the topic you have just learned. Some of the pages you may want to bookmark and visit later, while others you may enjoy exploring right away.

Questions

There is a page with questions for each lecture topic. You should be able to answer the first set of review questions correctly just from what you have learned in the lecture notes. Write each question and answer out, and then check back with the lecture notes after to verify the answers.
The bonus questions are not required, but are presented to challenge the more adventurous students who wish to push themselves a little further. The answers to these questions may sometimes be found in the resources listed in the links page.
If there are exercises, they should be completed after the questions have been answered and verified with the lecture notes.

Quiz

This should be the last stage before moving on to the next topic. If you do not get at least 80% on the quizzes, you should go back and review the material before proceeding to the next topic. These quizzes will help determine if you are understanding the current topic well enough to move on.

Notes on Windows and Macintosh

Throughout the course, commands for PC and Macintosh computers are included. The PC commands will appear first, followed by the Macintosh commands in parentheses like this:

• Open new document: Ctrl-N (Cmd-N)
• Save: Ctrl-S (Cmd-S)

Requirements

Hardware

You do not need the latest and greatest hardware to create Web pages (although it sometimes makes it faster). In fact, all you need to do this course is a basic computer system with access to the Internet plus a copy of the software.

Software

To do this course, you will need to have Photoshop installed on your system. You can purchase Photoshop from the Adobe Photoshop Web site.

If you want to use a limited 30 day evaluation copy, you can download it from the Photoshop Trial site.
