Workshop Review: PhotoShop for Trainers
I attended the Photoshop for Trainers Workshop on Friday, April 27th, 2012. Eric Gerds, our Instructor, presented a very concise overview of "photo-shopping" and digital photograhy and led us through several exercises on how to use the core tools in Photoshop. I was pleased to discover that most of what we learned can be used in most photo editing programs, including Photoshop Elements.
Here's one of the exercises we did in the workshop, using the Quick Selection tool and several filters and effects. It's a quick, simple way to direct focus in your training visuals. I'm putting this to immediate use in a Captivate project I'm working on.
I hope to see you there!
