Photoshop CS6 is an excellent package for photographers to enhance and edit digital images.  In this lesson, we'll introduce online training, see how to download images for you to use in class, and start with a tour of Photoshop CS6.  This class starts at the beginning, with the various tools for displaying images, and is designed to bring even the inexperienced user to a comfortable level of editing and enhancement.

In this lesson, you'll see the power of Photoshop with quick corrections and the ability to crop and rotate your images. You'll like the new Crop tool in CS6! We'll also discuss the various file formats for digital images and how to use them to your best advantage.  You'll learn how to make changes and save different versions of your images so you'll have everything you need for future editing.

As we continue our study of Photoshop, you'll learn how to prepare your documents for printing.  To get the best quality print, you want to be sure that each image is the right size and resolution.  We'll define terms, explore menus, and look at ways for you to be sure your prints will be just the right size.  You'll see how to use the Crop tool with more control and feel confident about printing when you finish this lesson.

Whether you want to use your image on a website, in an email, or for a large print, you need to be sure the size is right.  If it's for the Web, you'll want it small enough to load quickly, but still sharp and clear.  If you need an enlarged print, you'll want to be sure it has all the quality of the original.  This can be a stumbling block for some new Photoshop users, so we'll take our time and practice with several images to help you learn all the steps. We'll also go over how to use Photoshop's tools for artistic cropping so your images are both artistically and technically the best they can be.

One of the most powerful features in Photoshop is layers, and in this lesson, you'll have a chance to create a new file and copy another image into it, exploring the basics of layers as you go.  You'll also see how to set color options for many of the Photoshop features and adjust color in your images.

As you continue to build your knowledge of layers in this lesson, you'll also see how to work with color.  Photoshop has a huge palette of color options that you can use in your images, and the color tools are amazing!  You'll see how to easily replace, brighten, and enhance color, and even remove it for stunning black-and-white work.  These features are among the many sought-after highlights of Photoshop, but beware!  You may find yourself tinkering with images even after the lesson is over.

Light is the essence of photography, but it isn't always cooperative.  In this lesson, we’ll discuss ways to enhance and even create better lighting after you've taken an image.  You’ll see how to use Brightness and Contrast to improve your images, and you'll have a chance to work with Levels and Curves, two of Photoshop’s best features for correcting lighting and color tones.

Even if you don't shoot in raw image format, Photoshop has a set of sophisticated editing tools for you to use!  Camera Raw is Photoshop's editor for processing raw images, giving you the opportunity to adjust white balance and exposure in all kinds of file formats, and leaving your images with startling clarity and dynamic color.  In today's lesson, you'll see how to adjust your images quickly and easily, just like a pro.  If you're not quite sure what raw files are or if they're something you'd like to use, we'll walk you through the process, and you can decide what's best for your type of work.  Either way, you'll learn more about Photoshop and what it can do for you!

Mixing words and pictures is an important part of digital photography, and Photoshop gives you lots of ways to make your text as dazzling as your pictures.  In this lesson, we'll explore Photoshop's text tools, and you'll find out how to add text to your images, including the new text preview option in CS6. You'll also begin your study of the powerful selection tools, with the Quick Selection tool, the color-based Magic Wand tool, and the flexible Lasso tool.

As we continue our study of selection tools, today you’ll learn how to create silhouettes and creative backgrounds to set them off.   You’ll see how the Marquee tools let you select perfect squares and circles for use in framing and highlighting your images.  You'll practice using feathering to see the difference it makes, especially when you want to create a soft, blended background in your image.   You'll also see how to use the Marquee tool to create borders and frames around your pictures.  To wrap up our study of the selection tools, we'll also explore the many options in the Select menu.

<p>In our last lesson on the selection tools, you&rsquo;ll work with a combination of tools for detailed and exacting work when you need it most.&nbsp;&nbsp; You'll also learn some advanced techniques for using the selection tools together.&nbsp;&nbsp; We'll work extensively with the <i>Add to selection </i>option and see some shortcuts for making selections easier.&nbsp; As a final addition to your knowledge in this area, you&rsquo;ll have a chance to explore and work with features on the Select menu.</p>

In our last lesson, you'll learn how to put many new tools to work! We&rsquo;ll discuss Retouching and Correcting tools, and you&rsquo;ll perfect your skills with the Red Eye tool, the Clone Stamp tool, and both of the powerful Healing Brushes.&nbsp; We'll also discuss when to use each tool for the best results.&nbsp; The power of Photoshop will come to life as you use these tools in your final assignments.

Learn the secret to converting a potential customer into a long-term asset. Find out how to lay the groundwork for repeat business and your future success.

The goal of Effective Selling is not to teach you how to make a sale today, but to help you discover how you can easily convert a potential customer into a long term asset. Effective Selling will help you lay the groundwork for repeat business and your future success. In sales, there are no quick fixes. However, with the knowledge, planning skills, communication techniques, and the understanding of human nature that you will gain from this course, your sales will grow as if by magic.

Courses are delivered to you through expertly executed lessons, online instruction and interaction with like-minded students. Our courses are designed to deliver all of the benefits of studying in a classroom whilst giving you the flexibility to study at a time and place to suit your needs. You can access your classroom 24/7 from any device with an internet connection.

This course has a 3 month duration. You'll complete comprehensive lessons, quizzes and assignments before submitting your final exam at the end of the course to achieve your certificate. Courses must be completed within the 3 month access period.

This first lesson lays the groundwork for successful sales. We'll review some basic sales terminology and talk about how it relates to your profession. You'll learn about appropriateness and how it can be a powerful tool for your success. This lesson will start the new salesperson off with the right tools to succeed.

In this lesson, we'll talk about itineraries, sales call reports, and the customer database. Nothing is more important in sales than tracking your progress, your customers, and your prospects. Preparation and record keeping will keep you one step ahead of the competition. You'll also learn how to schedule follow-up calls to avoid letting potential sales pass you by.

To be successful in sales, you must learn to sell three things: Yourself, your company, and your product. In this lesson, you'll learn the importance of all of these, and you'll learn how to make them work in your favor. And no matter how good you are in sales, you will eventually experience a sales slump. You'll learn the simple steps to work through this slump and come through it in a stronger position.

If you can't communicate, you can¹t sell. That's why communication is the focus of this lesson. You will learn how to effectively communicate with your customers and prospects in order to minimize problems and maximize customer loyalty. Just as important is your communication with your own company. Stop problems before they start, and your sales will increase dramatically.

In the first four lessons, we laid out a strong foundation for your sales efforts. In this lesson, you'll learn how to develop your sales presentation. A good sales presentation can mean the difference between making the sale and going home empty-handed. Learn how to guide the prospect to placing the order by using these proven techniques.

You'll encounter seven different types of personalities during your sales career, and you'll meet them all in this lesson. Who are they? How can you identify them? How can you relate to them? Most important, how can you sell to them? In this lesson, we'll talk about how to identify which personality type you're dealing with so you can develop a unique selling strategy for each of them.

Knowing how to create an effective presentation, and how to identify the different personality types is essential knowledge. In Lesson 7, you'll learn how to apply the knowledge you gained in the previous two lessons. You'll learn how to modify your presentation to meet the expectations of each of the personality types-a recipe for success!

The ultimate goal of the salesperson is to make-or close-the sale. There are six basic types of closes, and in this lesson we'll discuss them all. More importantly, you'll learn how to put each type to use for the greatest effect.

When is an unhappy customer a great sales opportunity? All salespeople will have to deal with customer complaints at one time or another, but few know how turn a complaint into a powerful sales tool. By properly handling these complaints as they arise, you can turn a customer complaint into customer delight.

Can you negotiate a contract that pleases your customer and increases your total sales and profit? Of course! In this lesson, you'll learn the techniques of successful negotiation. There really is a win/win solution, and you'll learn how to find it in this lesson.

It may seem that your competitors are always bigger, faster, cheaper, or smarter than you are. But the fact is, they aren't. In Lesson 11, we'll discuss ways you can find out what your competition is up to and how to use this knowledge to your advantage.

In our final lesson, we'll delve into some big questions that salespeople must ask themselves. How do you deal with the customer that won't return your calls? How important are ethics in the world of sales? How do you deal with the seemingly constant rejection? We'll ask-and answer-them all in this lesson.
