This booklet is intended for Secondary School students and above. What is included within the booklet is four chapters worth of information to help get pupils started when working on Photoshop. It is useful because it can be used as a handout for the students to take home with them and continue their learning and also it can be useful for students if they continue to use Photoshop past lesson time. The learning objectives can be learning how to utilize Photoshop properly by learning various shortcuts and different types of ways to manipulate images into a desired look. The chapters can be taught one lesson at a time or you can choose to do multiple chapters in a lesson or even possibly spread out certain chapters (such as layers) over a longer period of time. This links to any creative design curricula where Photoshop work will need to be used and can also be used within I.T when working on design ideas. This booklet could be used as a handout for students when teaching the subject of using Photoshop or it can be used for teachers to possibly test students about what they know. Overall this resource is very useful for anyone teaching the Photoshop subject or possibly wanting to brush up on their own knowledge of Photoshop
