Students will learn all the basic features necessary to navigate a Macintosh computer for digital photography and establish a digital workflow routine that includes capturing, editing, processing and archiving of digital images. Using Adobe Photoshop, students will learn basic editing functions and move into more complex operations with layers, masks, compositing, color correction and printing.

Notes: This course requires students to have a means of capturing images (a cell phone, point and shoot, or DSLR are all acceptable). Owning a computer is not mandatory.

Prerequisites: Students must be a Visual Arts A.A.S., Visual Arts A.S., or Art and Design A.S. major to register for this course.
