This intermediate-level class answers the question, "What tools can I learn to do more with Photoshop?" It introduces skills that build on basic Photoshop knowledge, giving photographic artists new creative ways to express themselves. The course's new skill set opens the door to photo-collage and photo essays that blend text and imagery in a variety of ways, serving whatever creative goal the photographer has in mind — from expressing emotion, to social commentary, to collaging images for a family reunion. 

The class begins with a review of basic Photoshop skills for editing images, then introduces new tools that open fresh avenues for creativity. This course is designed for artists who already have foundational knowledge of Photoshop, or have completed an introductory course such as Photoshop Fundamentals for Photographers, or similar.
