This six week course is aimed at providing new users of Ulead's PhotoImpact 7 with a solid foundation in the essentials of using the program. The course will emphasize learning how to get around the work space so that tools and menu commands may be accessed easily and used efficiently. Customization of preferences and the work space to suit the student's working style will be featured, as well as information about the basics of making and editing selections and objects. Students will learn to edit images, selections and objects in a variety of ways, making use of the EasyPalette and the new Access Panel and Color Panel. A simple web page will be created using a template.
