Adobe Photoshop Basics

Today we’re going to take the visuals down to a simmer and hit, yes, the dreaded business posts. Judging by the traffic and lack of comments, the business posts don’t get a lot of love — but since I run a creative business and most of my dear Readers are professional creatives, I think it’s important to mix up the both. A bitter pill, I know.

As you may know, I love About.com — the Blogging area alone is worth its weight in gold. But, if you ever wanted to spruce up photographs of your work for your portfolio or create better pictures (with cool effects) for your own blog, we would need to head to the Graphics Software area. Here, the area guide, Sue Chastain, offers a complimentary Adobe Photoshop Basics Online Course. There are self-paced lessons that will get you going on the basics of Photoshop. Once you sign up, you will receive one e-mail a week for ten weeks. (Here’s the course outline – scroll to the bottom.) I just signed up so, hopefully, Fauxology’s visuals (as well as Garay Artisans) will get that much better. Have a wonderful day!
