Photopaint Intro

Objectives

To introduce delegates to the powerful capabilities of Corel Photopaint. During the course the delegates will practise a wide variety of skills which will allow them to improve the quality of photographic images and create their own images. Emphasis will be given towards experimentation to allow delegates to incorporate newly discovered features into their existing work.

No prior knowledge of Photopaint is assumed. However, should delegates wish to cover more advanced features, these can be incorporated into the course.
