“Getting Started”

Digital Photography

1. Start by going on Internet Explorer. Even if you already have an email address, we are going to create another one to use for this class.
2. Go to: www.gmail.com and click on “Sign up for Gmail”.
3. Go ahead and fill out the information in the boxes. Continue by clicking the button, “I accept. Create my account.”
4. After you have set up your new email account, go to https://www.photoshop.com/express/landing.html
5. Click the “Join Now” button in the upper right.
6. Create your Photoshop express ID. I recommend un-checking the box that starts, “I would like to receive communications…” Check the box, “By providing your information…” (You are NOT required to enter your birthday)
7. Now, Photoshop will ask you to check your email and confirm that you want to join. Go ahead and do that. You should have an email in your new gmail account from Photoshop with a link. Click on that link and will bring you to your new Photoshop account.
8. If you get done with this before the rest the end of class, explore Photoshop Express. You can check the Digital Photography blog to get started on Project #1.
