Photoshop 1: Getting Started, by Alan Erickson

Abstract:

Various Photoshop topics will be presented related to astro-imaging, from the perspective of an astro-imager and Photoshop team member.

We’ll demonstrate the basics of astro-image processing using Photoshop, providing a basic understanding for the novice, as well as those who are more advanced but unfamiliar with Photoshop.

We’ll also cover topics on compositing, adjustments, filters, selections, masking, and a few helpful caveats.

More-experienced users may be interested in Alan’s next class, Photoshop 2: Tips and Techniques.

Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge of image processing. Although not required, it will be helpful to already be familiar with how to perform basic functions with PhotoShop.
