If you find yourself working all hours of the night just to try to catch up on your digital files, then this program is for you! Designed to help you take back control of your life, you’ll be introduced to a whirlwind of information, techniques, software and hardware that will allow you to work much smarter and faster than the average Photoshop user!

Every new version of Photoshop brings a host of new features (and sometimes, unfortunately, a few headaches as well). Photoshop CS3 is no different in that respect. This program will show how best to use the new features to your benefit, and how to overcome the headaches.

Come and witness some tricks even Adobe doesn’t know about!

The program will begin by establishing a simple workflow for your studio that actually makes sense and works! Other topics covered will include:

• Simplified capture techniques that allow you to focus on your subject—not your camera
• Working with RAW files quickly and efficiently
• One-Step color correction
• Actions, actions, and more actions
• Retouching and Eye Enhancement
• Layers and Channels and Masks—Oh My!
• Printing (either on your own or via a lab)
• More shortcuts than you can shake a stick at (plus easy ways to remember them!)

In addition, we’ll show you the latest third party plug-ins, filters and hardware that can greatly enhance your images, and reduce the amount of time needed to do so!

Don’t spend another day doing things the hard way!
