This critically-acclaimed interactive training program from Adobe Press combines exceptional quality high-definition video and a printed reference to teach the fundamentals of Adobe Photoshop CC. Including more than 13 hours of video tutorials, the course comes complete with lesson files, assessment quizzes, and review materials. Experienced instructor Kelly McCathran presents a comprehensive introduction to Photoshop, including best practices as well as fundamental photography and image editing concepts. Beginning with an overview of the Photoshop interface, Kelly goes on to cover Photoshop's powerful tools including features new to CC such as non-destructive editing using Adobe Camera Raw 8 within Photoshop, the new Smart Sharpen tool, rounded rectangle options, how to work in the Creative Cloud, and more. The video is wrapped in a unique interface that allows you to jump to any topic and also bookmark individual sections for later review. The unique "Watch and Work" mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow you to work alongside in Photoshop. Project files used in the lessons are included on the disc so you can practice what you've learned, and interactive review questions help reinforce freshly gained knowledge.
