Adobe Photoshop Core Skills: Level 2

*** Platform Note: This class for Mac or PC Users *** Adobe software is virtually the same on the Mac and PC platforms. When taking this class from an ONLC center you will be using PC hardware with Windows software. When taking this course from home or office, students can use either their PC or Mac hardware to attach to the hosted Windows-based Adobe software. Minor Mac keyboard and interface differences will be highlighted by the instructor. Once you gain a foundation and some experience using Core Skills, you are ready for Level 2 training. IMPORTANT: To ensure you have the necessary skills for successful participation in the Level 2 training for Photoshop, please carefully review the topics included in the Level 1 course for Photoshop. _ In Level 2 classes, content is covered at a faster pace and additional focus is placed on use of shortcuts and real world 'tips and tricks' to improve your workflow. _ Each lesson includes unique and challenging project files. The Level 2 class also goes more thoroughly into advanced topics with some of the project files from our Level 1 courses. *** Version Note *** Our Adobe classes are for users of the CC and CS6 versions. These classes are run on the CC version of the software but are relevant for CS6 users as well. In addition, we upgrade our software shortly after new training materials are released from Adobe. Typically new content is available within 2 to 4 months of a software release. Considering More Training?
