Now that you have captured that great photograph with your camera, what do you do with it?  How do you go from digital file to exhibition print? Photoshop is the answer.  It is a powerful photo-editing program.  We’ll start by learning techniques for downloading, importing, and organizing your photos.  We will move on to managing RAW files, learning the menus and toolbars, basic file formats, image size and resizing, resolution, and adjustment layers. Learn about selection tools, image retouching, filters, sharpening, and developing a reliable workflow. Then learn more complex features like how and when to use filters, advanced sharpening methods, non-destructive burning and dodging, adding grain to digital files, creative black-and-white conversion techniques, toning digital images, and color correcting images.
