We are happy to announce the first in a series of ongoing online webinars - "Photoshop: From the Ground Up". This new series of online meetings will cover all major aspects of Photoshop, beginning with the basics.
Our first one, slated for September 23 at 5:45 pm PST, will introduce you to Photoshop, and walk you through the interface, tools and important foundational features.

Even if you are a seasoned Photoshop user, you will learn new things. This is the workflow and content Steve and Sally use to teach Photoshop regularly, both online and in the classroom. We will be taking full advantage of Adobe Flash technology and host our meeting with Adobe Connect Pro.

The meeting room is here: http://bit.ly/csaugOnlinePS

We will start promptly at 6:00 pm PST. You will want to log on 15 minutes early to make sure you can hear and see the meeting correctly. We will be using VOIP, so all you need is a strong internet connection (wifi not recommended)

Here's what we will cover in detail in "Photoshop: From the Ground Up - Part One":
• User Interface
• Basic Keyboard Shortcuts
• Terminology and basics concepts of image manipulation with Photoshop

Then, we will break into online "groups" and offer two sessions, for each of the following:

• Toolbar - review of the basic tools and how to use them
• History Panel - how and why to use this in your workflow
• Selections - choosing the right tool for each situation

• Layers - what are they, why you need to use them
• Working with Text - formatting and styling
• Layer Styles - creating and editing beautiful imagery

=================================================
We strongly recommend you test your computer before attending:

Thanks Kevin,

I'm not the Steve mentioned if you haven't already figured that out.

I know - just thought I'd bump it since its today...I'm going to check it out even if you aren't the one teaching it

Any chance that this webinar was archived?

Larry,

It is archived, but they haven't posted the link yet. If you go to the page above for the webinar I think they'll post the link there.

They had a lot of technical difficulties and it went for over two hours. I left it running and came back to it while it was running once in a while. The beginning covered the PS workspace and how to customize it for your workflow by moving panels around, etc... It looks like they covered a lot of different tools, but I didn't sit through the entire thing.
