Description: Introduction to an image creation and editing program such as Adobe Photoshop. Students learn the basics of the program (workspace, selections, and layers). The steps in editing images are completed (cropping, color and tonal adjustments, retouch, noise reduction, sharpening, and exporting). Students also work creatively with layer styles, filters, layer masks, blend modes, and paint brushes. Several of the assignments will involve editing images and creating composites for the web (i.e. hero image, web banner ad, Facebook cover).
