ACE Photoshop CS3 certification

Just a quick note to say we added Adobe Photoshop CS3 ACE (Adobe Certified Expert) certification to our roster today.

Photoshop is one of those software applications I admit, even as an amateur photography enthusiast, with which I enjoy a love-hate relationship. With so much power comes not only so much responsibility -- but also so much of a learning curve! And that's where some good training can always come in handy.

I love some of things that only Photoshop can do, but fully concede that there are easier and less expensive applications out there for a myriad of common and important photo editing tasks. For example, if you just need to crop, rotate, and/or resize a picture you took on your digital camera, but don't have or want to mess with other editing tools, consider the free and easily available www.phixr.com. You can edit a photo there without even signing up for an account.

That said, sometimes a professional or prosumer has "gotta have" the beast that can pretty much do it all, if you can tame it. And thus, the full version of Photoshop is out there.

(And finally, if you care to take this or other certification exams in the KC area, you can do so at Centriq Training.)

On the Road,
