COURSE CONTENT
Photoshop CC is an exciting release of Adobe’s popular photo editing software. This is an excellent package for photographers to enhance and edit digital images, and in this class, you’ll move into the advanced features for photographers. In the first lesson, you’ll dive into a workflow for digital editing. Photographers often wonder where to start when working with an image, and you’ll get a good idea of the options available and a sequence to follow.
In this lesson, you’ll look at tools to perfect portraits. Although you can use these tools to fine-tune any type of image, you’ll find them especially helpful with the detail work associated with portraiture. You’ll look at the Blur Gallery that gives you professional options for portrait work. You’ll also see how to smooth away wrinkles, remove red eye, and even turn gray hair brown! If only it were so easy in real life. . . .
Distortion. You don’t often strive toward distortion in photography, but with the options in Photoshop, you’ll discover how it can work wonders! You’ll see how to slim a waistline, trim loose edges, and accentuate the positive with distortion tools, including Photoshop’s Puppet Warp tool. You’ll also find out how to correct an image by combining parts of two different photos, and you’ll have a chance to get creative with the many brushes available in Photoshop.
Photoshop gives you lots of options for editing images, and in this lesson, you’ll turn to the task of restoring old and damaged photographs. You’ll see how to reverse the effects of time as well as how to add hints of color to black-and-white images.
In this lesson, you’ll explore advanced ways to use text, special effects, and layers. You’ll master the art of creating text from images and building multilayer documents with sophisticated edging for both text and image components to draw your viewer’s attention right where you want it. You’ll also see how to professionally blend layers together by refining edges with Photoshop’s Refine Edge technology.
