At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

• Describe what PhotoShop can do, and what it can't do.
  
• Define pixel.
  
• Create a new canvas.
  
• Save and re-open images.
  
• Arrange the PhotoShop screen.
  
• Recognize screen elements.
  
• Hide and show screen elements.
  
• Select and use drawing tools.

Homework Assignments:

Please work through Part II: Understanding Digital Imagery, Chapters 4, 5 and 7,
and (most important) Part III: Painting and Retouching Images, Chapter 8.

If you simply play with the program, using as many of the drawing tools as possible, you will have a good start for class two.
