Photoshop is an all-purpose toolkit for image restoring, photo manipulation, color correction and digital painting. It should be your first stop when preparing still images and titles for video or film.

In this intensive, one-day course taught by Charles Loflin, we'll explore all of Photoshop's major features, including color correction, layers, transparency, brushes and filters. Since this course is geared to filmmakers and videographers, Charles will focus on issues related to film and video, such as Pixel Aspect Ratio, working with text, video-safe color and creating backgrounds.

No one-day course can teach you all of Photoshop, but we'll send you out the door with a list of resources you can use to explore additional features and gain Photoshop mastery.

Topics Include:

• Perusing Pixels in Photoshop.
• Investigating the Interface.
• Learning to Love Layers.
• Trying Transparency.
• Having Fun with Filters.
• Breaking in Brushes
• Typing Terrific Text.
• Careful Color Correction
• Beautifying Backgrounds.
• Perfecting Photo Restoring.
• Considering Camera Raw.
• Savoring Saving.

Each student gets their own workstation.
