The NSL Photoshop Class will meet @ 7pm the second Friday of each month at Null Space Labs during 2013.

Intro to Photoshop Class

So you've never installed Photoshop, not quite sure what a Gaussian blur is, and the only layers you're familiar with are on a layer cake. That's ok.

In this Intro to Photoshop Class we'll cover the very basics.

• Opening images (there's more than one way)
• Simple adjustments
• What are all those tools for anyway?
• What are filters and why they can be good
• The Spot Healing Brush tool, The Lasso Tool, The Quick Selection Tool
• Brushes and the many things you can do with them
• Creating gradients
• Blurring, dodging, and burning
• Pen Tool, Text tool, and Shape tool
• Utilizing Workspaces
• Layers and how they work and why you must use them

We'll see you at 7pm!

• You
• Your Computer
• Installled: Adobe Photoshop (CS5, CS6, CC preferred).

• If you don't have a full version of Photoshop, download the trial version for evaulation.
• A real mouse. Trackpads are terrible for image editing.
• A Wacom tablet. Best for editing.
• Ideas! Inspirational source material! Bring images you like, images you want to emulate.
• Cameras are welcome at every class, regardless of make/model/megapixel/film format.
• I will be using CS6 so I suggest you do the same if you can. I will do my best to help those on every version.
• Pictures, Drawings, sketches, anything you want to work on in this class. All disciplines and skill levels are welcome at every class.
• Sense of humor.
• Donation to NSL.
