08:15am – 09:15am	Creating a Dream World You have a vision---a world made up by your imagination! You want to recreate it. You aren't a painter, but you do have hundreds of shots from vacations, family trips and more. In this session you'll see how pieces are taken from various sources and manipulated to create entirely new worlds. Environments that will satisfy the need for the perfect backdrop.	Bert Monroy	Techniques Track
11:00am – 12:00pm	Understanding Color Adjustments Photoshop offers an abundance of color adjustments including Hue/Saturation, Color Balance, Curves, Levels, Photo Filter, Channel Mixer, Selective Color, Gradient Map and Match Color. See how you can divide all those adjustments into three categories (warm/cool, HSB and specialty) and learn how to think about each category in such a way where your education applies to all the adjustments in that group. You'll have a much better idea about how color adjustments work in Photoshop after this class, including: � How Color Balance, Curves, Levels and Channel Mixer are really variations of the same adjustment � See that switching between working with light and ink is just a shift in thinking and not adjustment � Learn how the Info panel plays a critical role in precise adjustments � Understand simple concepts will allow you to perform professional color correction � Walk away with the knowledge of how to choose between all of Photoshop's adjustments	Ben Willmore	Techniques Track
01:00pm – 02:00pm	The 10 Best Practices for Social Networking Class description to come.	Lindsay Adler	Techniques Track

Putting the applications together, RC will develop a collateral piece that you can use to showcase your graphic design or photography work.	RC Concepcion	Techniques Track
