Foundation skill for web and dtp  
 
Intro for Dtp and Web:
2 days + 1 optional

Getting a basic understanding of PhotoShop is a key objective of the training. Take notes at your own speed, use any training material brought to the sessions and discuss your aspirations with the trainer who is an industry professional.
Course content:
Interface:
Understanding the interface and knowing where to find your tools is the first big step. We look at buttons and tool tips, quick keys and shortcuts.
Layers:
There is nothing so brilliant in PhotoShop than Layers. We show you how to make new layers, use them, organise them and make special fx.
Selections:
The power of Layers is enhanced with this flexible and powerful tool. We explain some of the effects you can produce with a few simple clicks and some of the more complex options.
Masks:
Some tools in PhotoShop appear almost magical. This is one of those tools. We help you discover how to master this mysterious part of image making.
Blending:
As if you haven’t learnt enough, there’s more. Here is a box of digital tricks that will keep you entranced for the rest of your digital life. You will also become very boring in company when you declare “I know how they do that...”
Filters:
Ok, so this bit is cool too and I love it, so I’m expecting you will have to say “ooh” and “ahh” when I hold up the card. This is the heart of special effects.
File Formats:
This is where we teach the rules, do’s and dont’s about saving and bit depths and stuff. Really important but a bit geeky. Hey nothing wrong with that.

 

Location.

The great advantage of one to one training is that training can be at either your location or ours.
We can travel to anywhere in Europe for your convenience, arrange training rooms in London or you can come here to CUK in Oxfordshire. Your choice.
