Photoshop Fundamentals 

In this beginner-level class we will cover the essentials of Photoshop CS6. Topics covered will include becoming familiar with the Photoshop user interface, using the tools panel, making selections, working with layers, applying filters, and making basic image adjustments. This class is geared towards students who have experience working on the Mac OS and are comfortable with computers. We will move at a relatively fast pace in order to cover as much material as possible. No background in Photoshop is required.
