Welcome to the "Using Adobe Photoshop CS" training video page.
Adobe Photoshop CS is a powerful image editing program for creating and manipulating images for print or the web. The videos on this website have been taken from the CD "Using Adobe Photoshop CS." Topics areas are listed below. The videos themselves are Macromedia Flash verisons of the original videos, scaled down to a smaller size (480 x 360 pixels) to fit the screen. After clicking on a topic area, use the scollbar to browse through the topic headings contained in the left frame of the screen. To view a specific video, simply click the link.
After each lesson, you will be redirected to the on-line evaluation page for this site. Please take the time to fill out an evaluation each time you view a clip; this is the first training video website published by the Technology Unit, and your comments will help us in designing future sites.
To order the "Using Adobe Photoshop CS" CDs, which include full-screen (800 x 600 pixels) versions of these videos), contact Jeff Wood at jwood@coop.ext.colostate.edu.
