Digital Art Tools for Photoshop Certification
Ever wonder why a picture in a magazine looks flawless or how creative an advertising banner looks? While being a professional designer or photographer may have a lot to do with it, the potential to create amazing images is possible for anyone.
The key is to learn how to use the right post-production software, such as Adobe Photoshop. The ability to create multi-layers with unique effects and designs allows the designer to add depth and dimension.
It is important to understand what Photoshop is used for as it has multiple functions and can be a very useful tool in not just editing photos, but also creating pamphlets, banners, business cards and flyers.
This course will teach you about the benefits of such a program and also provides instructions on how to use it for both professional and personal needs.
Throughout the course, you will see 21 different videos. Each video will take you on a step-by-step journey through the basic features of Photoshop.
While there are several obvious features, such as the 'Layers' dialogue box, there are additional ways to use each tool to maximize the post effects of a photo.
In this course, you will learn:
- How to create a new file and adjust a canvas size that is suitable to project needs
- How to navigate through the software, where to find its tools and understand the layout of the page
- Learn how to identify Photoshop tools and understand their basic functionalities
- Learn how to identify the secondary tools, how to select them and what they are used for
- Learn shortcuts and understand how and when to use them
- How to use the layer option and understand the layer dialogue box
- Learn how to use and apply adjustment layers
- How to add effects and filter to an existing image
Course Benefits:
- You will learn the basic steps of using Photoshop and can begin to create a design
- How to become more efficient by using shortcuts and understanding the use of specific tools
- You will understand how to enhance an image and ways to crop the image to reuse for another project
- The importance of colors and how they can be adjusted and enhanced using the different color options such as color balance
- How to use brightness and contrast, exposure and hue and saturation to manipulate a photo
- How to use rulers to make creative designs such as pamphlets
- Design elements that enhance a creative project

Easy to use! Fantastic! It has massively helped me whilst I have been working in Human Resources.
I couldn't ask for anything better.
I can't wait to start another course with you! Definitely worth every penny and I would highly recommend I was also able to brush up on my excel knowledge too which is really imperative in my role.
Before I started the course I had little knowledge on how to use Excel I am now a Excel wiz! Such a fantastic course I would recommend it to anyone working in HR or looking to get into HR

Having recently started a role in the payroll department I felt I needed to gain knowledge from as many sources as possible.
I found this course to be thorough, easy to understand and the website easy to navigate. It gave me a much greater understanding of payroll systems, the legal obligations of an employer and HMRC guidelines.
I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone starting out or wanting to progress in a payroll role.

Even my dog loved the benefits and being my practice dummy!

I would like to say that I have completely enjoyed the course online and I am very pleased with the resources and information that was given. My father is very proud of me completing the course in a short amount of time and I can only give credit to New Skills Academy for giving me the opportunity to complete a qualification that will benefit me in the future. I say this because my preferred job role is a human resources manager or even assistant to start off with. Many thanks for this amazing experience and the importance of this qualification as a whole.

The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course

It was an eye opening course that was flexible and easy to access. I was able to complete it from the comfort of my own home whilst also having the tasks to complete which enabled me to check my knowledge. I know feel much more confident in my field of work and really enjoyed doing it.

This is a great course for any level of knowledge. Very easy to navigate, great practical tasks and explanations are very clear. You can revise any module with no problem.
