Adobe Photoshop Lite Course
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Onsite and ONLINE
Photoshop Lite Course
Need to learn the foundations of Adobe Photoshop but don't need to learn the whole program? This course is ideal for those who will be using Photoshop to prepare images to a minimum requirement i.e. resize images, crop images, change the brightness and contrast and to prepare images for either print purposes or for your websites. We teach you the newest techniques (like the new Select and Mask Workspace) which helps make more efficient and accurate selections – saving time and frustration.
If you decide later to build on your Photoshop knowledge or need more comprehensive training, you can then attend the 2 day Photoshop Essentials course.
Our instructors are Adobe Certified, industry experienced and passionate about training! Our training highlights the features and updates in the latest version of the software - Photoshop CC.
At City Desktop Training – an Adobe Authorised Training Centre – upon course completion participants receive a Certificate endorsed by Adobe.
