Course Description[edit]
Official Course Description[edit]
"Includes fundamentals of composition, proper exposure, digital image capture and image editing processes. Students can provide a suitable digital camera, or the college will have a limited number of digital cameras for check out. Photoshop software is used for editing, with in-class demonstrations of editing techniques; but this is not primarily a course to learn Photoshop. There are weekly photo assignments covering a variety of creative approaches, one in-depth documentary project chosen by each student, and a final portfolio: all critiqued by the class as a group. This course focuses on both technical competence and conceptual creativity."[1]

Texts[edit]
The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers, by Scott Kelby. Publisher: New Riders/Peachpit ISBN: 0321330625 (softcover)
Photoshop is helpful to own. Digital cameras may be checked out from Seymour Library, but many students prefer to use their own instead of the loaner.
Course Format[edit]
The official description notwithstanding, much of the instructional time in the course is spent editing photographs in Adobe Photoshop, rather than taking pictures.
