The general consensus can be summed up in the statement, "I just want to do it, not talk about doing it."H2O stands for "how-to only," and each lesson in this manual is a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish each project with only minimal explanations. If you're one of those people who would like to know why you're doing this or that, then those who own the manual also get unlimited access to video tutorials that duplicate each lesson from the written manual where the "how" and the "why" are explained simultaneously.In a group setting, the focus of H2O Courseware is on hands-on learning with explanations of "why" offered by the instructor to students as needed and/or as requested. While H2O Courseware video tutorials are designed for a self-paced environment and serve as reinforcement as students work through the lessons on their own.In this Adobe Photoshop CS6, Level 1 training manual, students will receive a majority hands-on introduction to Photoshop, exploring its workspace, tools, panels, menu options through doing exercises to learn some of their potential uses.
