One Day

Performance-Based Objectives:

You will set Photoshop’s unit preferences and save files in different formats to see how well each one balances image quality with file size reduction. You will then calibrate your system’s color display. You will also use Photoshop as part of creating finished web pages and export individual slices and create an HTML Web page that displays a table containing the sliced sections. Finally, you will use Photoshop and the Save for Web & Devices feature to create and optimize animations for the web and mobile devices.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Set preferences for size units and also identify factors that contribute to file size.
• Optimize images by saving them in different formats and applying transparency to them.
• Apply color management techniques, adjust images, and ensure color consistency to create images that are attractive to the widest possible audience who use different platforms such as Windows and Macintosh.
• Create web page layouts.
• Use Adobe Photoshop to export a web page.
• Plan and create animations for web and mobile devices.
