In this training, you will find seven sections which each focus on different aspects of using Photoshop. You’ll start with an overview and learn how to use many of the tools; then you’ll work with styles, adjustment layers, and layer masks; create web graphics and simple frames- and timeline-based animations; learn some retouching, editorial, and restoration techniques; discover how easy it is to create 3D effects from 2D text and artwork; and end with a section on special techniques, many of which are new in Photoshop CS5.
