Learning Photoshop
I had my first Photoshop class last night—3 1/2 hours of photoshopping fun! It’s the beginner course, which means that so far I know pretty much everything the instructor showed us—with the exception of some shortcut keys.
I am really interested in learning stuff that will come in the later classes—I want to be able to make awesome graphics for my page and do nifty alterations to my photos. My knowledge of Photoshop right now is what I would call functional—I can do the basic stuff like work with layers, copy, paste, select elements, use some of the tools, crop, resize, adjust color, etc.
Anyway, only 6 more classes to go, and then on to the Advanced Photoshop class. LOL, high paying graphic designer job, here I come! ;)

and you know there are online tutorials for *anything* you might think of that you’d wanna do with photoshop, right? i’ve been doing this for yeeeeears and i go hunting for tips all the time…

I need the structure of a set time where I have to be learning it—not to mention the guy seems to really know his way around the program, so he’s mentioned all these nifty shortcuts and stuff that I never got from my readings.
If I learn anything good, I’ll share with you, Kev! :)

I always find that a classroom with 10-20 people is great. You can always work with each other, get extra info, and direct the subject matter to what the class wants to know.
And not only that you get to interact with a pile of people that like what you like!!
Learn, but most of all have fun!!

At least, this guy encourages digital photography. I am excited about this class, I wish we were printing more though.
