Why study this course

Need to learn the foundations of Adobe Photoshop® without diving into the entire application? This course is perfect for those who will be using Photoshop to meet minimum requirements, such as resizing images, cropping, adjusting brightness and contrast, and preparing images for print or websites.

We teach you the latest techniques, including the new Select and Mask Workspace, which ensures more efficient and accurate selections, saving time and reducing frustration.

If you later decide to expand your Photoshop skills or require more comprehensive training, you can attend our two-day Photoshop Essentials course.
