Digital Art Tools for Photoshop Certification

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

I found this course very useful. It covers the all categories of cleaning and goes in to great detail without being overwhelming. Its a clean and easy to use step by step interface that glides you through the modules. If you want to take more time and revise in your own time without access to the internet, the PDF viewer and print functions are a great feature. This course has helped me gain the new knowledge of this industry and will be the first step towards a great career. There is certainly more than meets the eye when it comes to cleaning and I have an even bigger appreciation for an industry which is vital to millions and widely under appreciated. Thank you British Cleaning Certificate for the excellent service!

Very interesting topics, I feel like I have expanded my knowledge and have more of an understanding and can use the techniques I have learnt professionally. I feel more confident in my ability!

I enjoyed the videos of the makeup application and thought the flow of the course was very well structured which made it easy to follow. It had me excited to do more and complete next stages as it was in bite size chunks.

I am very happy with the programme thoroughly enjoyed it I wish it was longer so I could learn more. Thank you for the course!

Whilst on maternity leave I started thinking about in what capacity I'd go back to work, and if there was something different I could do. I came across reed courses and chose this course in PA and Admin and another in HR.

I was so happy they were on offer! I chose them because the course modules were comprehensive.

I can sit and do modules with my newborn son on my lap via my iPhone. It's so handy, the modules are clear and concise.

I'm so happy I chose this course. I can't wait to add it to my CV and see what jobs I can get.

I’m a property investor and I have an interest in property generally. I wanted to do this course to broaden my knowledge of property but also make sure I understand my rights as a buyer of property. This is a nice introduction to the profession of Estate Agency but also negotiation and building networks. It includes material on both residential and commercial property, and also property maintenance. It touches upon the Estate Agents Act 1979 which is very important. My next step will be to review the act. It is a very broad course and is a good place to start.

This Makeup Diploma course I wanted to have almost half of my life, from when I was a kid. I really enjoyed studying and was really happy to finish this Makeup Diploma course.

Liked videos in modules, PDF’s were easy to save. Not only that I learned new tips on how to do makeup, I also learned how to deal with marketing and advertising for my future business.

I’m sure that will not be the last course that I finished. And I will highly recommend to my friends to this online tutoring as it is great way to gain knowledge. Thank you.
