Adobe Photoshop CS3 - Advanced

2 day course

In this course, you'll learn skills that go beyond those covered in the Adobe Photoshop Introduction course.  You'll further your understanding of isolating image areas by creating and saving masks with specialized tools, commands, modes, and layer elements.  You'll work with complex background like sky and water, and complex realism, like reflections.  You'll learn how to use vector paths for a variety of purposes, including masking, clipping paths, and illustration.  You'll also learn to create and apply creative elements such as gradients, patterns, and color overlays, and to save them along with effects in easy-to-apply layer styles.  When you've completed this course, you'll have a firm grasp on Photoshop concepts that are applicable to almost every facet of using the application, including Web design, preparing photographic images for printing, and illustration.  This course is designed as one in a series of courses for students pursuing the Adobe Certification Exam for Adobe Photoshop CS3, and it is a prerequisite to more advanced courses in the Adobe Photoshop CS3 series.
