Performance-based objectives
Lesson objectives help students become comfortable
with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate
learning. Upon successful completion of this course,
students will be able to:
• Use Quick Mask mode, alpha channels, and layer
masks to isolate image areas.
• Create clipping groups to use one layer’s
contents to mask another’s.
• Create vector paths as tools for selecting images,
for creating transparent areas in images to be used
with other applications, and for drawing shapes.
• Create color swatches, gradients, and patterns,
all of which can be saved and loaded in sets for convenience.
• Create layer styles that can apply effects, colors,
patterns, and gradients in one step.
• Use the Background Eraser and the Extract command
to create complex masks quickly and accurately, even
for images with indistinct edges and very fine details.
