  Class Descriptions:
  Adobe InDesign CS4 (March 12, 10:00-11:00 CST, Session 1)
  Print publishing is undergoing a revolution, and that means you need flexibility to author not just for ink on paper but for anything. Adobe InDesign CS4 is more a platform for authoring content than just a simple page-layout tool. During this hour-long session, you will see how to:
  • Leverage your assets to better control the many parts of an InDesign project
  • Work with other Adobe and non-Adobe file types in your project
  • Automate many layout tasks to get your work done more efficiently
  • Spot and correct many problems that slow down the production of the work you are doing—especially when it comes to getting that work to output
  • Create different kinds of output—from print to web to just about anything
This hour-long session will get you on your way to a true multi-channel publishing workflow.

  Adobe Photoshop CS4 (April 9, 10:00-11:00 CST, Session 2)
  You don't have to be in graphic arts or photography to appreciate Adobe Photoshop. People of any discipline who want rich expressiveness in their work and need to simplify imaging workflows will love what is new in Photoshop Extended CS4. This release has revolutionary new features like content-aware scaling, 3D compositing and painting, and improvements to AutoAlign and AutoBlend. Join us for a guided tour, and be amazed at what you can accomplish with Photoshop Extended CS4. During this hour-long session you will learn how to:
  • Manage assets and automate tasks with Photoshop and Bridge
  • Use Camera Raw in a non-destructive editing workflow—allowing for flexibility and ease of editing
  • Apply image edits in a reusable way in Photoshop with the new Adjustments and Masks panel to more efficiently serve your customers
  • Use Content Aware Scaling to create new artwork from old, existing work
  • Blend images to overcome the limitation of your camera, the lighting of a scene, or both
Whether you are a Photoshop novice or ninja, this session will leave you with ways to become more efficient and effective in your image-editing work.

  Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 (May 14, 10:00-11:00 CST, Session 3)
  If you are a professional photographer, a semi-pro hobbyist, or an occasional snapshot taker, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 will help you through the entire photo editing process and make it faster and easier for you to get the end results you desire. From the initial capture to the final output, the Lightroom software enables a non-destructive editing workflow that makes it more efficient for you to get your work done. During this hour-long web seminar, you will learn:
  • How to capture your images to the correct file format for your needs, or convert them to the correct format for long-term storage
  • Methods for adding appropriate keywords and other metadata to the file for easy retrieval and organization
  • Fast, flexible editing techniques to get the best result possible from any image you shoot
  • Output options for sharing your work with others, be they across the globe or across the room
  • The differences between an Adobe Bridge CS4/Adobe Photoshop CS4 and an Adobe Photoshop Lightroom workflow, and when each would be the correct tool to use
Adobe Photoshop lightroom is quickly becoming the Photographer's choice for managing and manipulating work to achieve the professional results that anyone can create with today's digital camera. This session will show you why—and how—you can take your work to the next level with it.

  Adobe Flash Professional CS4 (June 11, 10:00-11:00 CST, Session 4)
  Adobe Flash is more than just a tool for making things move in an advertising banner; although, Flash Professional CS4 makes it easier than ever to create animations, it can do more. This hour-long session will cover the three ways you can use Flash CS4—along with the rest of the Adobe Creative Suite 4—products to create animations, applications, and video interface for your work. You will learn:
  • How the new object model makes it fast and easy to create, update, and reuse your animated work in Flash CS4
  • Ways to get next-level control over moving objects with the new motion editor and eases
  • New object creation and transform tools for you to build stand-out work
  • A workflow to add video to your web site that makes it fast and easy to create a polished delivery of high-quality video
  • What Actionscript 3 does to enable true programming in the Flash environment and why the switchover will benefit you
As you create more content designed to be delivered in a variety of ways, Flash is a foundation technology for that creation and the delivery of the work. This web seminar will be a continuing step in the path of discovery about what is possible.
