You may use either Photoshop CS5/CS5.5 (ver. 12.0) or Photoshop CS6 (ver. 13.0). CS6 is available at PCC Computer Resource Centers at Sylvania, Cascade, Rock Creek, and Southeast Campus.

This course is accessed through Desire2Learn (D2L) which is the Learning Management Software that PCC uses to deliver online courses. You will find a link to D2L at https://my.pcc.edu.

There are 9 projects for this course. Each project will be uploaded to the Student Web Server as a separate web page. The final project is to create your home page for the course using buttons that you design in Photoshop, with links to the previous 8 projects . To see the results of the projects, preview an Example of the Projects.
