Photoshop 101~ Editing Triangle

Ready to turn your "good" photos into "great" ones? Whether you’re a hobbyist photographer, a social media enthusiast, or someone looking to build a new professional skill, Photoshop 101 is designed to take the mystery out of Adobe’s powerhouse software.

This course focuses on the foundational tools and non-destructive editing techniques that every beginner needs to know. We skip the fluff and dive straight into the features that make the biggest impact on your images.

In this hands-on workshop, we will cover the core pillars of photo editing:

• The Interface & Workspace: Navigating the "cockpit" of Photoshop without feeling overwhelmed.
• The Power of Layers: Understanding how to stack edits so you never permanently damage your original photo.
• Essential Retouching: Using the Spot Healing Brush and Clone Stamp to remove distractions, blemishes, or power lines.
• Color & Exposure: Using Adjustment Layers (Levels, Curves, and Hue/Saturation) to make your colors pop and fix lighting issues.
• Cropping & Composition: Learning how to reframe your shots for maximum visual impact.
• Selection Tools: Mastering the Quick Selection and Lasso tools to edit specific parts of an image without affecting the rest.

No prior experience is required. This class is perfect for:

• Beginners who have opened Photoshop and felt immediately lost.
• Photographers looking to polish their digital darkroom skills.
• Small business owners wanting to create better visual content.

Note: Participants will need a computer with Adobe Photoshop installed (any version from the last 3 years is fine).
