Introduction to Photoshop with David Ulrich

This class aims to provide a solid grounding in the fundamentals of Adobe Photoshop and is PNM’s comprehensive introduction to the program, designed for those who want to explore its full features. Adobe Photoshop is the universal image-editing program for photographers and designers. Through hands-on instruction, participants develop a solid foundation in the language, procedures, and tools needed to create, edit, and manipulate digital images. Areas covered include use and management of layers, color and tonal correction, multiple selection tools, image manipulation, compositing images, an introduction to channels and masks, and creative applications of Photoshop.

This course is designed for those with no prior experience in Photoshop, though some familiarity is helpful. A working knowledge of Photoshop is a prerequisite for all intermediate and advanced Photoshop workshops.
