Video Transcript6 sections

Hello and welcome. My name is Dan Rodney, and I am an instructor at Noble Desktop. I teach several of the Adobe programs and some of the other classes that we offer. This tutorial will discuss Adobe Photoshop and get you started in the program. First, let’s talk about what this introduction to Photoshop will cover.

2Overview

The tutorial will start with discussing what Photoshop can actually do. Most people fail to realize all the various tasks that Photoshop can perform. So you are aware of how flexible Photoshop is, it's important to note that the program is not just for photo editing. It will also help you determine which Adobe Creative Cloud plan you should purchase. You will need a Creative Cloud plan to access Photoshop.

The introduction to Photoshop will also provide a tutorial showing you how to start using Photoshop. We'll go over Photoshop basics and cover some of the fundamental concepts needed to use the program. Finally, we’ll discuss ways to continue learning after completing this course to build on those new essential skills. You can continue to develop your skillset here at Noble Desktop. We're based in New York City, and we've taught courses in Photoshop for the past 30 years.

So, what can Photoshop do? Let's go through some of these things to see the program in action. While this course will not be able to cover all of the things Photoshop can do, many students are surprised to learn of its incredible capabilities.
