Via mijn cursus leer je stap voor stap alle tool kennen en welke daarvan de belangrijkste zijn om te beheersen. Geen zorgen, je moet hiervoor nog geen enkele kennis hebben over Photoshop. Ik doe dit op jouw tempo omdat ik weet dat het best intimiderend kan zijn.

Photoshop is een enorm handige programma dat zowat toepasbaar is in elke sector in de professionele wereld en ook gewoon super leuk is om te gebruiken voor persoonlijke zaken! Ik geef je een rondleiding in de wereld van fotobewerking en manipulatie.

De cursus bestaat uit 2 delen:

Het eerste deel is elke tool in Photoshop overlopen. Je zal leren wat elke tool doet en waarvoor deze kan gebruikt worden. Je leert welke belangrijk zijn en welke minder vaak gebruikt worden.

In het tweede deel wil ik de aangeleerde kennis testen. De nadruk zal hier niet liggen op creatief zijn, maar wel op het weten van welke tools je moet gebruiken om het gevraagde te bereiken.

Op het einde van de rit zal je een sterke basis hebben in Photoshop en jouw creatieve ideeën kunnen realiseren via de aangeleerde tools!
