"Nuove Frontiere Lavoro", in collaboration with the training organization "Idee Insieme" and thanks to the "Formatemp" fund, publishes a "Photoshop Expert" course on an online platform.
The course is based on the need to create a highly specialized professional capable of creating photographic projects that need to be edited and post-produced using ADOBE PHOTOSHOP software. The ADOBE PHOTOSHOP expert works as a freelancer or in companies that entrust their image management to a professional capable of giving greater appeal and recognition to their core business.
The aim is to begin with the analysis of the photograph and then assimilate the techniques used to generate it, enabling professional use of the software. In other words, we want to understand the fundamental criteria of photography so that digital processing isn't simply a modification, but a delicate and thoughtful variation of the source, also taking into account the chosen publication platform (print or web).
OBJECTIVES: The project's goal is to train professionals ready to address any market demand in advertising post-production by acquiring the tools and basic rules of photography, then focusing on digital image editing using ADOBE PHOTOSHOP software . As image processing professionals, the professional will be able to understand how the photograph is created and the key elements, and then evaluate where and how to intervene in digital editing.
At the end of the course, the ADOBE PHOTOSHOP EXPERT will be able to:
- Learn the fundamental techniques of photography, development and digital editing through the use of ADOBE PHOTOSHOP;
Specifically, students will have acquired the ability to:
- Interpret photography by identifying the technique used to create it;
- Recognize product photographs intended for the digital market;
- Use ADOBE PHOTOSHOP software to apply the correct post-production to the photograph;
- Prepare files for successful printing;
- Know the regulations protecting privacy and copyright of images;
- Evaluating the compensation for a digital editing job
