Design Workshop: Photoshop Shortcuts

Photoshop is a powerful program with the ability to preserve the textures of your hand drawn, painted, and printed artwork. It provides endless options for editing your work, but where do you start? Join us to learn how you can clean-up and enhance existing artwork and create a successful repeating pattern with techniques that utilize a variety of tools within Photoshop.
Key highlights of the workshop will include:
- Clean-up original artwork with time saving tips and tricks.
- Enhance your designs with Photoshop tools.
- Use Photoshop Pattern Preview to make a successful repeating pattern.
To follow along with this workshop, please have Photoshop already downloaded and open. Don’t have Photoshop? Check out their 7-day free trial.

Hi there @janeparsons202 I am an artist & designer from Australia. I use a Epson Perfection V370 Photo scanner. It’s A4 sized but you can use photomerge in photoshop to stitch together larger works. I have successfully scanned drawings, paintings and even acrylic canvas up to 20 x 24” in size! If I had the money I would upgrade to a A3 sized printer, but for the price jump I can’t see it being worth it at the moment. The V370 scans up to 1200dpi….waaaaaay more than most would need. Hope this helps!
