Adobe Photoshop- the industry standard in image manipulation software!

Learn effective visual communication skills in print and graphic design. At least a minimal amount of computer and Photoshop experience is preferred, and expect to cover material at a reasonable clip. Material learned here can be applied to national Adobe Photoshop certification (ACA, ACE). Come see why Photoshop sets the standard across the board!
