If you're new to Mac OS X or Photoshop, or are an old hand interested in taking your skills to the next level, come check out some of the new training CDs and DVDs in the Documents Room Library.
Mac Academy's five-disk Mac OS X Tiger offers 12 hours of training, including installation, preferences, and toolbar customization. You'll also get good introductions to Exposé, Dashboard, Spotlight, iCal, the Safari browser, and other nifty Mac features.
KW Computer Training's Photoshop CS2 for Beginners features Certified Adobe instructor Dave Cross introducing the tools you need to get up and running. In this two-hour workshop you'll learn to use floating palettes, layers, and filters, and find out how to crop and retouch your images.
Photoshop users who are past the beginner stage can reach the next level with Photoshop guru Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS2 Power Session. On this two-hour DVD, Kelby delves deeper into features for digital photographers, and introduces two new features: the Adobe Bridge and the Camera Raw plug-in.
The Documents Room also has many other instructional CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes on a wide range of computing topics. All training disks circulate for one week and are renewable.
