Introduction to Photoshop CS6
Photoshop is the world’s best-known photo-editing program. Artists,
photographers, designers, and hobbyists all rely on Adobe Photoshop
for image creation and editing. You’ll learn how to use Photoshop with
detailed, step-by-step instructions that you’ll have no trouble following—
even if you’ve never used a computer graphics program before! And you’ll
have a lot of fun doing it. Photoshop CS6 has a host of impressive new
features for photographers, and you’ll encounter a number of them. We’ll
begin with an introduction to the Photoshop environment. Next, you’ll
learn techniques for creating simple digital paintings (including some
brushes that let you create the look of an oil painting from a photo). Then
you’ll be editing your own photographs to get rid of dust and scratches,
fix the color, and correct image exposure. You’ll master techniques
for switching the backgrounds on images and removing wrinkles and
blemishes from photos, just like they do in magazines. You’ll also learn
about the new content-aware Move tool in CS6 that, like magic, lets you
move something on an image while intelligently replacing the ‘’hole’’ left
behind. By the time you finish this fun, hands-on, project-oriented course,
you’ll be well on your way to expressing yourself with the most exciting
graphics program ever developed.
