Photoshop A.C.E.

Is anyone here an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop?

I'm accredited by the E.W.O.I. (European Weirdo's ON ICQ) :D

i'm a certified A.S.S. ;)

Honestly you're in the wrong place to be looking for a certified expert. Although there are some very proficient users here, who are one certificate short of being a certified expert.

I'm a certified NT administrator ;) *starts to wonder what that is good for these days...*

i'm a certified A.S.S

I like than answer!!

Actually i looked up that ace stuff....its really easy lol. I wouldnt call anyone with that cert. an "expert". The q's i came across were like "what does reselect do"..."how does canvas size work"..."whats the line screen for a brochure"....."how does an image save an alpha channel" stuff like that. My favorite question was "how do you combine 2 layers into 1" lol. If someone doesnt know that...they should not be in photoshop to begin with!!!

Hehe, then i could call myself a certified A.S.S aswell, except for the actuall certification, that is..

Yeah, I saw those questions too and went to take the test expecting it to be pretty easy. It was a rude awakening. There were things on there that I had actually never even heard of and I have been using Photoshop professionally for 3 years, and just finished a six month Graphic Communications course. Needless to say I didn't pass.

I am going to take the test again, this time I will be more prepared. I was just curious if anyone here had the cert and what it did for them professionally. I worked as a web deisgner for about 3 years, got laid off, and now I'm having a hard time getting back into the field. Agencies that do placement for creative work around here wont even talk to you unless you are certified in something, so I am going that route.

Good luck to anyone trying to get their cert in A.S.S. lol

really? in...let's see...almost 6 years of professional design work i can't recall ever having been asked about certifications, and i've also been placed by some good size agencies. its all about the portfolio, spend your time designing and not studying

hey scotty - good luck on your next attempt

as for the exam, I recently inquired about it in my area, but it seems that it only pointed towards a 'Photoshop Proficiency Exam', which to me is not the A.CE. exam.

im in eastern newfoundland/Canada and im not sure if theres a testing center here...u got ne info regarding testing locations in eastern canada???

cheers
