In this workshop, you will learn the basic skills to work with a very sophisticated software application to manipulate digital images.

• The Adobe Bridge photo management software
• Tools for making selections
• Techniques for improving image quality
• Use of layers and channels
• Using masks
• Photo retouching
• File formats, compression, and resolution issues.
