Photoshop Course - what we covered
Just wanted to stick this up there in case any of you were overwhelmed with all of the stuff we covered or were confused with the wireless going down.
Here is my outline:
Photoshop Invitation Concept of Digital Scrapbooking
Creating an invitation
Choose the size you want
Backgrounds (Color, photo, or “scrapbook paper”)
Text (size, type, color, layer styles)
Add in photos (size photos, add layer styles)
Add in elements
Custom Shapes (select color to “fade in the background”)
Save as *.jpg file for uploading.
Workspace
Zoom in (Ctrl-) / Zoom out (Ctrl+)
File formats – *.psd (Photoshop file), *. jpg (Photo file to upload), *.abr (brushes), *png (elements)
Review toolbars
Tools & Submenus
Move Tool Bar – moving or sizing objects/elements/text
Lasso & Magnetic Lasso – cutting pieces of a photo
Spot Healing & Healing Brush – fixing photos
Clone – fixing photos
Eraser Tool – editing photos, creating combo B&W & Color photos
Color
Shape – using shapes as a cropping tool.
Text
Options – changes when different Tools are selected (above)
History –
Approx. 20 last actions are saved
Creating snapshots (didn’t cover this one)
Layers – most important tool bar
Layers
Duplicate Layers
Hiding Layers
Grouping Layers
Arranging Layers
Shortcuts
Bring Layer Forward – Ctrl + ]
Bring LayerBackwards – Ctrl + [
Layer Styles
Blending options
Drop Shadows
Bevel Emboss
Stroke
Inner / Outer Glow
Duplicating Layers
Creating an invitation
Choose the size you want – usually a 5x7, 7x5, resolution 300
Backgrounds (Color, photo, or “scrapbook paper”)
Text (size, type, color, layer styles)
Add in photos (size photos, add layer styles)
Add in elements
Custom Shapes (select color to “fade in the background”)
Save as *.jpg file for uploading.

Thanks! Question for anyone that can help me, at work I have version 7 (not that I know what that means  ). I am looking to create a mailer for one of our products as we have a commercial launching for it. It looks different from what we saw last night. Any idea how I bring up the box that shows the layers I am working with? I can't figure that out

Go to Windows / Layer to bring it up. You have to have created layers to see them. The first layer will come up as Background & will be locked.
