Adobe Photoshop: the creative reference for over 30 years

Adobe Photoshop is the world reference for photo retouching and bitmap creation. A historical pillar of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite alongside Illustrator and InDesign, it is used daily by photographers, retouchers, art directors, web designers, illustrators, communication officers, marketing teams and e-commerce teams to retouch photos, compose visuals, create banners and advertising, prepare print materials, design web mockups and prepare bitmap illustrations for their materials. Its toolset, non-destructive adjustment layers, AI neural filters and plugin ecosystem make it the most versatile tool on the market.

In French-speaking Switzerland, Geneva and Lausanne communication agencies, photo studios, e-commerce stores, internal marketing teams of private banks and international organisations, digital agencies, media, university hospitals and cantonal administrations use Photoshop for daily visual production. ITTA offers the official Adobe Photoshop catalogue, covering introduction, intermediate and advanced photo retouching. Our training is delivered by photographers, retouchers and Adobe Certified Instructor trainers active in production projects for Swiss and international clients.

Following a recognised Adobe Photoshop training opens access to highly demanded roles: photo retoucher, photographer, web designer, art director, e-commerce designer, visual communication officer, illustrator, UI designer (complementing Figma), motion designer (complementing After Effects), packaging designer. Photoshop systematically figures among the skills expected on the visual production and graphic creation side in French-speaking Switzerland.

Whether you are a beginner in photo retouching, a photographer professionalising your chain, a communication officer producing visuals in-house, a designer ramping up to intermediate level, or a web designer preparing UI mockups, our Adobe Photoshop training in Geneva and Lausanne covers the introduction and intermediate path.

Introduction to Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat)

Introduction to Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat DC is the ideal transversal course for profiles discovering the Adobe Creative Cloud suite. The programme positions each software in its specific use: Photoshop for photo retouching and bitmap, Illustrator for vector and logo, InDesign for layout, Acrobat for PDF and distribution. Very suited to communication officers, marketing assistants and profiles transitioning to visual professions.

Adobe Photoshop CC Fundamentals (Level 1)

Adobe Photoshop CC Fundamentals is the natural entry for starting with Photoshop. The programme covers the interface, workspaces, essential tools (selection, cropping, brush, eraser, clone stamp), layers and their organisation, colour modes (RGB, CMYK, Lab, grayscale), selections (lasso, magic wand, quick selection, AI auto-selection), basic photo retouching (brightness, contrast, colour balance, cropping), saving and exporting for print and web. It is the indispensable foundation before intermediate level.

Adobe Photoshop CC Intermediate (Level 2)

Adobe Photoshop CC Intermediate deepens advanced features: non-destructive adjustment layers (curves, levels, colour balance, hue saturation), blend masks and clipping masks, blend modes, professional photo retouching (skin, eyes, teeth, sky, AI auto-selection), photomontage and composition, AI neural filters and Generative Fill (Adobe Firefly), web design and UI mockups, Creative Cloud library management, optimised exports for the web. Targets photographers, retouchers and designers producing daily.

Photoshop and the publisher ecosystem at ITTA

Adobe Photoshop fits into a broader visual creation ecosystem. The graphic design and DTP sub-domain regroups our Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat training. Adobe Illustrator is the natural complement for vector drawing, logos and scale-independent illustrations. Adobe InDesign is the complement for layout and editing (brochures, magazines, reports, EPUB), with native import of Photoshop files. Adobe regroups the entire Adobe catalogue. The visual presentation sub-domain covers PowerPoint and Canva for quick materials.

Adobe Photoshop trends in 2026

Adobe Photoshop continues to evolve in 2026 with strong attention on generative AI and productivity. Adobe Firefly integrates natively into Photoshop with Generative Fill, Generative Expand, Generative Workspace to replace or extend elements from text prompts. Neural filters (Smart Portrait, Colorize, Skin Smoothing, Style Transfer) accelerate photo retouching. Auto-selection (Select Subject, Object Selection Tool) relies on machine learning to isolate subjects in one click. Creative Cloud libraries unify brand identities between Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Share for Review facilitates back-and-forth with clients. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current practices.

FAQ

Which Adobe Photoshop course to choose to start?

For profiles discovering the entire Adobe suite, the Introduction to Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat DC training positions each software. For those targeting Photoshop directly, Adobe Photoshop CC Fundamentals is the natural entry. Profiles already mastering the fundamentals move to Intermediate for advanced photo retouching, masks, photomontage and generative AI. Our pedagogical team guides you according to your profile.

Photoshop or Illustrator: which to choose?

Both software are complementary. Photoshop is specialised in photo retouching and bitmap (pixels), ideal for photos, compositions, web mockups. Illustrator is specialised in vector drawing (logos, illustrations, icons, infographics) that allows scale-independent quality. Most designers master both. For photo, Photoshop is priority. For branding, Illustrator. Our catalogue covers both.

Is Photoshop still used for web design in 2026?

For pure UI/UX design, Figma now dominates the web and application market. Photoshop nevertheless remains widely used for photo retouching that feeds websites and e-commerce, for advertising banners, marketing visuals and complex compositions mixing photo and graphics. Our Intermediate course covers these uses.
