Microdesk to Sell Adobe Products
Offers Photoshop training to AEC
 NASHUA,
NH, July 2, 2008 – AECO industry consultant Microdesk announced today that
it has partnered with Adobe and will begin selling and offering training in
Photoshop to architects, interior designers, engineers, as well as their
associated marketing and advertising firms as part of its comprehensive
suite of design process applications and services.
According to Microdesk Solution Specialist Oliver D. Smith, the company
sees synergies between design and rendering applications such as AutoCAD,
Revit, 3DS Max, and Photoshop, the leading photo manipulation and processing
software. "We recognized that many design firms struggle to show their
concepts to their clients as accurately and efficiently as possible. That's
why we've devised a set of courses that will enable all levels of users to
go from various design platforms such as AutoCAD and Revit to rendering
programs such as 3DS Max and VIZ Render and further enhance graphics through
Photoshop to create more vibrant, realistic images," Smith said.
According to Smith, these classes will also be offered to associated
advertising and marketing firms, helping bridge the gap between these firms
and the AECO industry. "Marketing people have many of the same challenges
that architectural designers do - making their graphics files as realistic,
accurate, and flexible as possible, able to be used across a variety of
applications and platforms," said Smith.
To address these architectural and marketing needs, Microdesk has
developed a set of one-day training courses for all levels of proficiency -
from beginner to advanced user. Named after classic Greek and Roman
architectural column designs, they include the following:
- Doric: For beginners, this introductory course to Photoshop shows users
the basics from the interface, various palettes, keyboard shortcuts, color
adjustment, shadows, highlights, to image size and resolution, replacing,
retouching, and editing.
- Ionic: This course goes beyond the basics to cover Photoshop topics
ranging from masking essentials, sharpening, and layer essentials, to group
and layer composition, opacity and blend modes, and creating/editing text.
- Corinthian: Designed for advanced users, this class provides practical
insights into Photoshop's full capabilities, including layer effects/styles,
vector based shapes, use of adjustment layers, smart objects, smart filters,
as well as recording and playing actions.
In addition to offering courses in Adobe Photoshop and the complete
AutoCAD and AutoCAD Revit Architecture suites from Autodesk, Microdesk
provides training on Google SketchUp, Google Earth the ESRI ArcGIS suite of
products as well as custom installation, training and full customer service
and support.
