Why This Course
There are a number of web sites offering online courses on Photoshop, some of them charge a monthly fee to access their courses which may consist exclusively of video tutorials. What differentiates this course is that you will receive a complete set of step by step notes and files, you have the opportunity to contact the instructor Robert Berdan who is a photographer and photoshop expert, and if you can visit Calgary you have the opportunity to take his workshop in his studio and learn first hand. Robert is an experienced instructor that has taught for more then 20 years at University and local colleges and has been working with photoshop since version 1.0.
Pre-requisites:
Participants in this online course require a computer (PC or Mac) with Internet access, high speed Internet to download files and request assistance by email. Participants will also need to purchase and\or install a trial version of Photoshop CS4 version. Trial versions of photoshop are only good for 30 days. The tutorials included are based on Photoshop CS4. Participants should have a basic working knowledge of how to use their computer before taking this course and have a basic knowledge of photoshop and it main tools.
Mac versus PC:
Photoshop CS4 is available for both systems. The text instructions, screen shots and video clips used in this workshop are for PC, but if you use a Mac substitute the Ctrl key for Cmd and Alt key for Opt key and you should have no problem following these tutorials. The files are provided in a zip format that you should be able to open on a Mac if not I will work with you to find a solution i.e. might provide them via ftp or I can mail you a DVD with all the files and the movies in Quicktime format. Try the Demo lesson from Photoshop I workshop, download the files to determine if your system has what is required to perform these tutorials.
