CAST 92A - Introduction to Photoshop is a hybrid class usually taught on Friday mornings from the Fall through the Spring quarters and during the summer session at Foothill College.

Hybrid classes offer online assignments; you will be instructed on how to complete online lessons and upload homework. My CAST 92A Intro to Adobe Photoshop class is a hybrid class.

Versions CS-CS4 can be used. I choose not to teach Advanced Photoshop during the summer session due to the time required to learn new skills for image correction and creation. The campus labs have both PCs and Macs as well as the current software necessary to complete the required course material. . Sharron Evans 2009
