University Settlement Beginning Photoshop:

This course will introduce you to the basic skills needed to use Photoshop CS5.  
It is very important that you have access to a computer with Photoshop to practice outside of class. 
The lessons we do in class will also be posted on the class blog for review.  I would like everyone to practice the techniques in the lesson for homework and bring in an example of his or her work each time we meet.

Please bring a pin drive or CD with your own images to work
on during class.
You should have access to a computer with Photoshop CS5 to
