Adobe Classes

Our classes cover a great many of Adobe's broad range of software offerings. To help our students decide what classes may be of interest, we've listed descriptions of each software application below.

Classes are offered both Online and Onsite. Students attending Online classes should be comfortable with manipulating their computer's mouse, and clicking with reasonable accuracy, as well as having a reasonable ability with the keyboard.

Our regular classes are offered using the curriculum listed for each course. However any class can be customized for students who register for our "One-On-One" classes, or "Customized" sessions.

For a description of each of the software programs, please click a title below:

Adobe Photoshop™

Photoshop is the industry standard for creating and editing pixel-oriented photographs and graphics. The incredible depth of this program makes it extremely powerful for graphic and web design, photo and image manipulation, photo restoration, image retouching, digital illustration, special effects, image design, vector illustration (like Illustrator), and a great deal more. It's inclusion of 3D tools, animation and video tools, measurement tools (*= available in Photoshop Extended Version) increase it's power to allow Photoshop to be used in the broadest variety of applications.

Photoshop has become so ubiquitous, that it is the only software program to become a verb, according to the Merriam-Webster American Dictionary.

Photoshop and Photoshop Extended are professional level applications. Photoshop is a fundamental requirement for any design oriented position, and is essential to design professionals, photography professionals, web professionals, and video professionals.

Adobe Photoshop Elements™

Photoshop Elements is extremely powerful, and as a "condensed" version of Photoshop, it is more of a "Photoshop for Digital Photographers" program. Although it provides fewer options than Photoshop or Photoshop Extended, it delivers powerful options that make it easy to create extraordinary photos, quickly share your memories in Online Albums and unique print creations, and automatically organize and help protect all your photos and video clips.

Photoshop Elements' lower price, and fewer options make it an easier program for the home user, or amateur enthusiast. Don't let these "limitations" fool you, Elements packs a lot of punch.
