Adobe Photoshop training course

This Adobe Photoshop training course aims to enable delegates to produce a wide range of material including graphics for:

• product leaflets and price lists
• adverts and posters
• newsletters and interactive newsletters
• bid proposals
• web graphics and banners

Creating finished images

Learning how the software works is all very well but we show you the next stage too - how to create finished images either for print or screen. We try to base your course on the actual images you need to create. You can send example images to us prior to your course.

We hold your course at your offices
and on dates that suit you

 

The course addresses these issues:

1. How do I use Adobe Photoshop to cut out an image?
2. How can we make composite blended images?
3. How do I create good looking images for websites?

Course Duration 2 Days

This course can also be tailored to one day if preferred but naturally cannot therefore cover all items in the course profile
