An informative, exemplary, and hands-on teaching sequence with practical exercises. The course is designed as a hands-on workshop with plenty of room for individual questions. The collaborative development of results, live experimentation, exchange, discussion and Q&A sessions are as important as the technical background and practical application.

This course is aimed at anyone who wants to develop their skills in using AI in the context of Adobe's digital image and document editing workflow. Participants who already work with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and/or Acrobat and want to use AI to simplify their daily work should attend this course.

Information about Classroom Equipment
Our courses are usually held on Windows devices. However, we are happy to provide you with an Apple computer in Zurich, Bern, and Basel upon request. Please let us know in advance by emailing info@digicomp.ch.
Of course, you are also welcome to bring your own laptop.
For virtual participation, we recommend using an additional monitor (not just a laptop) so that you can follow the lessons and participate fully.

Adobe CC Software
Adobe Creative Cloud software will be made available to you without restriction in the course rooms during the course.
If you are participating virtually, you can work on your own device. Please let us know if you do not have your own «Adobe Creative Cloud» license. In this case, we will be happy to provide you with the software via remote access for the duration of the course. 
The remote environment will be set up on a Windows device; Apple devices are not an option here. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use this environment beyond the course period.
