Photoshop Express Beta Essential Training
with: Chad Perkins
|
Photoshop Express is a free, web-based tool for editing, storing, organizing, and sharing digital images. There is nothing to install and it is available from any web browser with a current version of the Flash plug-in. In Photoshop Express Beta Essential Training, Adobe Certified Instructor Chad Perkins explores every facet of this unique application, and explains how beginners and professionals alike can make use of it. He walks users through the processes of opening a free account; uploading images; and creating albums, galleries, and slideshows. Chad discusses each editing feature in detail, and demonstrates how to integrate Photoshop Express with other online photography and social networking communities. Example files accompany the course.
