The student must have basic computer skills, navigating the hard drive, opening, closing and saving files, retrieving files, be comfortable typing, using a mouse, navigate menus and dialog boxes, using and remembering passwords, connecting to the internet, using e-mail, sending attachments, and using a web browser.
•You must have Adobe Photoshop CC current or recent version for a desktop or laptop. Students are responsible for providing their own, cameras and software. The class was designed using Photoshop CC, but older versions will work for the class. Some of the info will be different. You will find the palettes/panels and the bridge will be different. Remember you can use Help within Adobe Photoshop to find info that matches your older version. Photoshop Elements will not work the for this class. Photoshop for the iPad will not work for this class.
This is a professional imaging class for aspiring professionals.
Student Learning Outcomes:
1. Demonstrate proficiency in the use of Adobe Photoshop.
2. Demonstrate basic understanding of Adobe Photoshop's major functions.

To be Successful in this Class
1. The student will maintain a notebook containing all lecture and demonstration materials, course assignment spec sheets pertaining to assignments.
2. Students must digital capture all images during the current semester to be used for class assignments and final project.
*Unless images are provided by the instructor.
3. The student will watch all videos and print and read all written material for the weekly instruction. You will have weekly assignments and due dates that must be met so you do not fall behind. I recommend not waiting until the night the work is due to start the project. If you need help, I am quick to answer emails, but I do not live on the computer. I want to help. Help yourself by allowing time to get the work done early.
4. The student will participate in art shows, vendor show, and other conventions/seminars as appropriate. Probably none this semester.
5. The student will participate in required field trips. Probably none this semester.
6. You must spend a minimum of 1/2 hour a day working on Adobe Photoshop or creating/photographing images.
7. Contact me if you are having any troubles, I am here to help you succeed!
Covid 19: Some of you may be using the CSN campus to access computers and more. Please be aware that CSN may be forced to go entirely online during the semester, closing labs, equipment check out and each campus. Every effort is being taken to ensure your safety but the final decision to say open is not ours to make. Should the campus close up we are still moving forward with our classes. We will adapt and pivot where needs demand. Please communicate with me at all times so I can help in every way possible.
web site:
http://www.pixelnrg.com
download/PRINT appropriate materials each week. Print all How To's/Spec Sheets/Assignments
Information on all Course Projects, exercises, due dates, reading assignments, as well as many helpful resources will be available on the course website. The instructor may clarify or change an assignment if necessary via the website. You are responsible for all information on the website, you will need to check it at least once a week.
Evaluation and Assessments:
Grades will be determined by performance, practical application of knowledge and student attendance. These factors will be assessed by the completion of assignments and the final project. If you do not receive a grade within 10 days it is your responsibility to contact the instructor.
For the final project I will be looking at Esthetics/Creative Expression (form, composition and what were you attempting to explore? did you succeed?) as part of the grade. You will be putting it all together, the technique as well as an idea (concept). A final project is more than one shoot. A final project is multiple shoots exploring an idea and building a portfolio to leave the class with, demonstrating skills learned and a photographic vision of ideas expressed beyond the technical. All Images must be photographed by you this semester.
•No images submitted for other projects may be used for the final portfolio.
•No work made for other classes or jobs will be accepted.
(You are responsible for your metadata - Make sure your date and time in your camera are correct)
BREAKDOWN OF GRADING SYSTEM (what will be discussed in the critique)
Work will be evaluated by the following criteria:
1) Technique (image quality, file quality, presentation, demonstrated understanding of the technical)
2) Esthetics/Creative Expression (form, composition and what were you attempting to explore? did you succeed?)
3) Clarity in the presentation of the defined visual communication goals (Think of the instructor as the art director or client, were the defined goals of the assignment accomplished)
4) Class participation (Email me with any question or if you see something cool you would like to share with me. I am here to interact and teach.)
NO ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED BY E-MAIL.
No work done/created for a paying job will be accepted
No work or shoot for another class can be used.
All work must be created or conceptualized for the individual assignments given.
All work must be photographed by you (unless specified)
All work must be photographed in the current semester. You are responsible for your metadata, check and update your camera metadata. (Time and date)
-You will receive an “F” for the project if the above is tested…
***Work must be handed in on the date specified***
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
•No fully AI generated images will be allowed for use in class.
-Accepted AI using Photoshop - Neural Filters, Intelligent Refine Edge, Object Selection Tools, Sky Replacement, Content Aware, Remove Background.
•No AI generated written projects/assignments will be accepted.
***Submitted A.I. imagery will receive a “0” for the project/assignment with no opportunity for re-submission.
PHO102 - Photo Restoration Neural Filter cannot be used for the retouch an old photo project.
If you ever have a question about acceptable AI it is better to ask first than to go against the accepted practices.
Letter Grade System:
A – Mastery of the technical and conceptual concepts. Thought and time invested in the assignment. Class participation and full attendance.
B – A strong grasp of the technical and conceptual concepts. Exploration of tools and Nuances of Photoshop. Class participation and full attendance.
C – Average understanding the technical and conceptual issues, including participation and attendance.
D – Below average, does not meet minimum requirements,
poor participation, poor attendance, poor attitude.
F – Failure to complete the assignment,
poor participation, poor attendance, poor attitude.
Extra Credit opportunities have a firm deadline - Late submission will not be accepted.
Students are responsible for backing up all Projects and exercises through the last day of the semester.
Do keep all files, prints, papers and quizzes returned to you so that any discrepancies can be easily and fairly straightened out. Except in cases of actual error, final grades are permanent.
A “D” is acceptable as a passing grade if the course is to be used as a general requirement or elective, but will not transfer to another school. An “F” constitutes non completion. This grade requires the course to be retaken
and no credit is issued.
“I” – Incomplete grades are generally not given except for unusual medical hardship. If the student is unable to complete the work, it is assumed that she/he will withdraw.
“W” – An Administrative Withdraw will not be issued by the instructor. If the student wishes to withdraw, she/he is asked to first notify the instructor and then proceed to the admissions office. Please notify the instructor if at any point you decide to withdraw from the class. It is the students responsibility to know Drop/Add dates each semester and any possible refunds. See the Registrar for withdrawing and any possible refunds.
If you disappear from class and do not withdraw or contact your instructor you will receive an “F”
All work will be submitted and graded in Canvas.
No work submitted outside of Canvas will be accepted.
All Comments will be found with the grade in Canvas.
Late Grade Policy 2022/23
Work submitted on time will be graded with full points possible.
2-7 days late the highest grade possible is a B
8-14 days late the highest grade possible is a C
After 14 days canvas is locked and you will need permission to submit the project for the highest possible grade of a D.
15-21 days late the highest grade possible is a D
22 days or later 0
•The Final Project/Series has a firm deadline- Late submission will not be accepted.
CRITIQUE:
Since this program is a commercial photography program, critiques are handled as if the instructor was an art director or client and the student is the photographer working for that art director or client. Therefore, assignments must meet with the specific instructors guidelines and preferences only. Further, much of the critique process is subjective in nature. Much of being a professional commercial photographer involves being able to take direction. The student is given specific guidelines and is encouraged to follow them closely.
CRITIQUE PROCESS:
Images and comments from the student are submitted through the appropriate Canvas Portal. My Comments on technique and aesthetics of the image in relation to the assignment will be given. I will give you specific areas to focus on for improvement with your Photoshop skills. Look for those comments in Canvas as well.
Attendance ONLINE CLASS: All work is to be turned in on or before the due date.
Attendance will be noted by submitting work on time. The last project submitted will be the last day you attended the class for the semester. Communicate with me throughout the semester if something is going on, so I can help you succeed in this class.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
Scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent. You are expected to have read and understood the current issue of the student handbook (published by Student Services) regarding student responsibilities and rights, and the intellectual property policy, for information about procedures and about what constitutes acceptable on-campus behavior.
https://at.csn.edu/documents/student-academic-integrity-policy
GENERAL CLASS PROCEDURES:
• Lecture: Techniques, skills and academic principles are explained by the instructor through online videos and written handouts.
• Review and Practice: Students review techniques and skills by practice and questioning of the instructor (email) Technique and skills are practiced by the student through the assignments given.
No book is required
Notebook Requirement:
I Highly recommend maintaining a 3-ring notebook in which the student will keep all assignments, notes, handouts. Maintaining a good photo notebook is important so that all materials are organized and easy to retrieve. It is much faster to open to a page of your notebook to find a shortcut or written tutorial than searching links.
Check-out of Equipment: Classroom and online students can check out equipment.
For any Check-out of equipment, you must present a current CSN student ID. Without ID no equipment will be checked out. If you are not sure about the operation of a new camera ASK, your instructor or a lab tech on proper handling and usage. At the time of checkout you may be tested on the operation of equipment. If you do not pass the test you will not be given equipment.

Students on academic suspension will not be able to enroll in classes for a semester. More information is available at https://www.csn.edu/policies-procedures
DISRUPTIVE AND ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR - Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner in the classroom, on campus and through electronic media at all times. Disruptive and abusive conduct will not be tolerated. Students who fail to adhere to behavioral standards may be subject to discipline per CSN’s Disruptive and Abusive Student policy. A copy of the complete Student Conduct Code and Disruptive and Abusive Student Policy is available for review at https://www.csn.edu/policies-procedures
EXPLICIT CONTENT - Any content of an explicit sexual nature, (including male and female genitalia, etc.), will not be screened in class, may result in a failing grade for the assignment, and could possibly be subject to disciplinary action under CSN's Student Conduct Code Policy. A copy of the Student Conduct Code Policy is available for review at https://www.csn.edu/policies-procedures
OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT
The instructor will have the final say on any materials or language deemed objectionable. Students are expected to refrain from engaging in activities that the instructor considers disruptive or counterproductive to the goals of the class. Instructors reserve the right to remove students from the class session if necessary. If you have any concerns about what might be considered objectionable, please consult your instructor in advance for guidance.
SEX-BASED HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION
CSN is committed to creating a safe and open learning environment for all students. In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, CSN prohibits unlawful sex-based harassment against any participant in its education programs or activities. Sexual-based harassment includes quid pro quo (this for that) harassment, a hostile environment, and criminal sexual violence (including sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, and stalking.) This prohibition applies to CSN students, employees, and visitors. Incidents of sex-based harassment or discrimination should be reported to CSN’s Title IX Coordinator, Dr. Armen Asherian, at [email protected], or 702-651-7481 or University Police Department at 702-895-3669 to report a crime.
USE OF CELL PHONES AND TEXT MESSAGING - All Cell Phones and Text Messaging shall be restricted to before and after class. All phones should be set on silent/vibrate. The Professor reserves the right to restrict all use of cell phones. Students will be required to leave class should this become a problem. Cell phone use and texting during class are prohibited.
EXITING THE CLASSROOM – REVOLVING DOOR - The classroom is not a revolving door. Continuous exiting and re-entering the classroom is not tolerated. Students who exit and re-enter the classroom excessively will be asked to leave class and schedule a conference with this professor.
RECORDING CLASS
There are no recordings of the class allowed without the explicit permission of the instructor.
MINOR CHILDREN POLICY - The primary mission of CSN is to educate students. To that end, CSN has the responsibility to provide a place of instruction that is free from distractions and conducive to learning. The presence of minor children is often a disruptive factor, not just, because a child can be noisy or active, but because even inadvertently, attention is centered on the child rather than on the teaching and learning process. The presence of minor children on campus and in its facilities also raises safety and liability issues. Therefore, appropriate restrictions must be placed on bringing minor children to CSN’s campus, sites, and facilities.
A. First and foremost, CSN and its facilities (classrooms, offices, public areas, common areas and grounds) cannot be viewed at any time as a substitute for childcare arrangements. Second, at no time may minor children be unattended or unsupervised on campus for even a short period of time. Third, only currently enrolled students should be present in classrooms or lab facilities. Fourth, minor children should not be brought into work locations during an employee’s work time.
B. Children under the age of eighteen, unless otherwise exempt as listed below, are not allowed in classrooms, labs, college grounds, or other college facilities except for visits while supervised by an adult. Employees and students must not allow minor children to be left unattended on campus. Minor children may not be left unattended in public areas such as the library or be left to wait or play outside a classroom or in the cafeteria while the adult is in class. Minor children may not attend class or class activities such as field trips, along with enrolled students except on very rare occasions at the discretion of instructors. Minor children may not be present at the employee's work site during the employee’s assigned work hours.
C. This Policy does not preclude short visits when the minor child is accompanied by another responsible adult.
D. Individuals under the age of 18 who enroll in classes at CSN are exempt from this policy.
