VIDEO PROFESSOR LAUNCHES COMPREHENSIVE SET OF PHOTOSHOP CS2 TUTORIALS

Lakewood, Colo. — July 2007— Video Professor®, the world leader in comprehensive self-paced computer software tutorials, launched its latest set of learning lessons offering consumers an in-depth look at Adobe® Photoshop® CS2 image editing software.
Fuzzy photos, your days are numbered.
Through Video Professor’s proven "What-You-See-Is-What-You-Do" method of teaching, the new “Learn Photoshop CS2 Essentials” and “Learn Photoshop CS2 Advanced” tutorials cover many topics including how to restore aged or damaged photographs and optimizing images for printing.

Elementary photo editing software on the market allows users to perform the basics like cropping and resizing images, removing red-eye and even sharpening images. Many digital photographers, however, want to learn tools necessary to produce professional-looking photos and graphics.

“Most photographers, whether beginner or professional, can benefit from photo editing software in some fashion,” said John W. Scherer, CEO and founder of Video Professor. “With the Video Professor Photoshop CS2 tutorials, we teach photographers all the skills they need to make digital photos and graphics look their best.”

Because Photoshop CS2 is such an all-inclusive photo editing program, it was impossible to fit all the information into one tutorial. Two separate Video Professor tutorials, the “Learn Photoshop CS2 Essentials” and “Learn Photoshop CS2 Advanced” learning lessons, feature more than six hours of content created to help users achieve an expert status on one of industry’s most powerful image editing tools.

These lessons teach complex skills such as enhancing images with customized text, manipulating colors to affect a photo’s overall appearance and working with vector graphics.

The “Learn Photoshop CS2 Essentials” learning lesson focuses on such skills as using the toolbox, working with palettes and managing multiple layers.
But since today’s digital photographers do not limit themselves to simply printing photos, the “Learn Photoshop CS2 Advanced” tutorial gives users advanced insight including utilizing Photoshop’s color picker while exploring the significance of bit depth, creating a series of predetermined actions that can be applied to images later and setting up functions that can be performed with a single action.

Plus, the advanced tutorial also teaches users how to manipulate images for the Web by dividing and sectioning images in order to maximize browser download speeds, using ImageReady® to create and animate graphics and streamlining a web page, making it easier to view.
The Video Professor “Learn Photoshop CS2 Essentials” and “Learn Photoshop CS2 Advanced” tutorials are available on standard CD-ROM, as well as via the company’s Video Professor Online® learning library, where users with high-speed Internet can stream the lessons for viewing on their computer.
