If you already know the basics, this course will extend your knowledge of those elements of Photoshop relevant to publishing.
It is intended for designers, editors, marketing and production staff with experience of Photoshop or who have taken Photoshop 1.
Group size is deliberately kept small in this practical course, which includes exercises that will build your knowledge and allow time for individual learning.
This course isn’t just about teaching you what different features do – you’ll also learn how to use those features to best effect.
