Photoshop Basics• In this class, we will go over the use of some tools
and actions, as well as image sizes, saving files, etc.• Photoshop, like any powerful piece of software,
can become very complicated very quickly. Allow this site to become your friend:– http://www.adobe.com/support/photoshop• Here you’ll find help files, FAQs, text and video tutorials, and
everything else you’ll need to learn how to make the software do what you want it to.• The search feature will give you acces to lots of tutorials like
the one I’ve created for this class.

In-class assignment• Go to Flickr and select an image from your slide show
(this will be your practice “title” image—you may choose another one later to edit on your own)
• Save the image to your desktop and then open it in Photoshop.
• Follow along as we use various tools and presets to alter our images. We’ll add text, visual effects, and picture frames.
• http://bustudentshowcase.ning.com/ will show you some examples of basic title images others have created.

Useful Links– General Photoshop:
• http://www.photoshopgurus.com/tutorials/tutorials.html• Lynda.com, TotalTraining.com, etc. – Include free and pay detailed
tutorials.
– Cool how-to’s:• http://psd.tutsplus.com/articles/web/50-great-photoshop-tutorials-for-cle
ver-beginners/• Youtube – Type in just about any “how to ____ in Photoshop” phrase and
search, and you’ll probably find that more than one person has created a simple tutorial on just that effect.
– Other:• Photoshop is going to be an industry standard for a very long time, so I
prefer that you attempt to use it for this class. If there is other software you are more comfortable using, however, you may use that. You may also use online photo-editing tools such as: picnik.com or pixenate.com
