Photoshop Quick Tips

During the course we use a variety of resources to learn the Photoshop software. One of the activities that the students enjoy is using podcasts created by Justin Seeley.  Each week we watch a video tutorial and then apply the skill to an image that the students have taken. Once we understand how important it is to have clear concise verbal directions with visual support the students create a video tutorial from a small written quick tip that has been published in the Inside Photoshop magazine. The students select an interesting tutorial, practice it, and then create a video to teach another student.
