Photoshop Elements 5.0 -
1 Day Course

This is an intensive course covering every aspect of Photoshop Elements, although particular emphasis is placed on the tools and techniques associated with photo editing. The course starts with a look at the Organiser, which is used for sorting, tagging and managing the images on your computer, and then looks at the basic features of using the Editor workspace. The bulk of the course covers the fundamental processes used in everyday digital imaging including selection techniques, transformations, painting and colouring, retouching and image correction techniques. The course also includes sessions on Layers, the most important filters, how to add text to an image and printing both single and multiple images. Finally, the course briefly covers some of the tasks Elements calls Creations, such as making a slide show and creating a Photo Album.

Because the course is totally “hands on” and uses real images – good and bad – to practice on, at the end of the course you will be able to perform basic image manipulation tasks with confidence.

This course is designed for anybody who wants to use Photoshop Elements 5.0 to “modify” their photos – whether taken with a digital camera or scanned from film – where the modifications can be anything from simple tasks like removing red eye to more complex tasks such as replacing a sky, converting to Black & White or the restoration of old, damaged photos.

Because Photoshop Elements is the "cut down" version of Photoshop, many of the tools and techniques are the same. So this one day course would also be a useful primer if you ever intend to use the full version of Photoshop in the future.

Participants should have basic Mac or PC skills including: launching an application; creating, naming and saving documents; navigating folders to locate a specific file. No prior experience of using Photoshop Elements is required.

The price for this course is £115.
