Adobe Photoshop CS3 Essentials

Training Provided by Symbiosis Course Outline
The course is designed with a balance of hands on practical exercises, demonstrations and reviews. Using the latest software
on Mac and PC platforms each course is delivered with training material or reference for the delegate to take away. The Photoshop
CS3 Essentials course starts from the program basics and quickly builds knowledge and confidence in how to navigate the application
and use the tools to create, edit and save bitmap files. This involves both creating bitmap images from scratch and editing existing
image files. Delegates will investigate ways to create images including painting, numerous ways of selecting, layering, manipulating
and correcting images.
Please note, the course is run using Photoshop CS3 Extended software - if appropriate, and if time allows some of the more specialist
functions of this package will be covered.
