Photoshop Elements 1
________________________________________________________
Basic Editing with Photoshop Elements 8 for the PC and Mac
Three, two-hour classes
Fee : $15.00
Prerequisites :
Photoshop Elements has an Organizer that allows for moving photographic files from the camera to the computer. The Organizer also provides for very effective keyword tagging and cataloging of photos. 
The Organizer is NOT covered in this class and if the student is interested in using the Organizer, it is recommended that the Photoshop Organizer class be taken before taking the Photoshop 1 class.
Enrolling students must have Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, 7, 8 or 9 installed on their home computer. Version 9 was introduced August 2010; however, the Computer Club will continue to use Version 8 for instruction through 2011.
Students must know how to move photographic images into a computer.
All of the following computer skills (or equivalent experience ):
Windows Based:
 Computer Intro to XP or Vista or Windows 7
 Knowledge and skill in using Windows Explorer
 Knowlege and skill in using Files and Folders
 
Mac Based:
  Mac-Files and Folders  
 Knowledge and skill in using Mac Safari
 
Note:  The course will use the Classroom computers equipped with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, in either Vista or Windows 7 , which is identical to the Mac version in editing capability and function.  If you have any questions about the above prerequisites, please contact the instructor.
Intended Audience:
Computer Club members who already have the ability to input photographic images into a computer, whether from a digital camera or from scanning a film or slide, and who intend to be actively involved in the editing of these images. (Refer to Computer Club Classes on “Scanning” and “Digital Cameras,” and the “Media Conversion SIG’s” activities.)
Note: This is not a “survey class” for those with a cursory or exploratory interest in photographic editing.  Those interested in a survey class are referred to Photoshop Overview, which is offered occasionally as a meeting, not in the classroom.  Watch for announcements in the Newsletter. 
Performance Objectives: After completing this course the student should be able to:
Perform basic edits to the images using the program’s Guided Edit (i.e. Crop, Straighten, Lighten, Remove Color Cast)
Perform basic edits to all or a selected part of an image using the Quick Edit. (i.e. Red eye fix, Quick Selection Tool, Color Saturation and Sharpening of an image)
Perform basic restoration edits to a selected part of the image with the Healing Brush and Cloning Tools, using the Full Edit.
