Digital Design Studio Basics: Photoshop II – Class Material
For those of you that don’t know, this past Tuesday the Toronto Reference
Library and the User Education department introduced a new workshop for the very first time. The workshop is titled “Digital Design Studio
Basics: Photoshop II”. 
The new class takes on some of the more popular
tools and features in the Adobe Photoshop program. In part of making all the content from any of the
Digital Design Studio classes more accessible, I’ve posted a digital copy of the
handout and the outline of the class to let you know more about the program.
