workshop notes - adobe photoshop - Primrose Park Art & Craft Centre

to find what you're looking for, but HELP contains a lot of information as well as some
interesting Tutorials (eg. Layers, Levels, making Selections, etc.), some of which will be
available for perusal at the workshop.
*******************************
You may have noticed that I have referred predominantly to the use of the mouse in the above
actions, with the keyboard playing a somewhat secondary role. More advanced users of
Photoshop tend to use keyboard shortcuts to speed up the process of digital manipulations,
particularly where high volumes of work are involved. If you look at the drop-down menus, such
as IMAGE - ADJUST for example, you'll see the alternative keyboard strokes alongside the
function description; eg. LEVELS ........ Command (#) L.
In conclusion, I hope the above notes are helpful as a guide to get you started on Photoshop
and, also, as a memory jogger. That said, it can be seen that learning Photoshop is very much
a "hands on" exercise, best approached through demonstration and participation.
Hopefully the workshop will provide an opportunity for such activities.
Additional notes & examples for Creating Panoramas, Layers, Special Effects (Filters), etc. will
be available at the workshop.
