Course Description

This course is for people new or intermediate in Photoshop. It is for people who have their own ways of doing things but believe there really is a better, faster way to work.

You will start by learning the best selection techniques available. I assure you that, by the end of the first section what took you 30 mins to mask will now take you 30 seconds. You’ll learn the very best Photoshop skills as well as how to get professional in Photoshop for graphic design.

We will correct ‘tough to fix’ images and learn what to do with blurry images. We will master Advanced Levels & Curves tricks and will work specifically with skin, adjusting and enhancing colors.

You will learn how to enlarge images without distorting them and also, what to do when things go wrong.

You will learn how to convincingly remove all kinds of objects from images. My personal favorite section will show you how to distort, bend & reshape images.

You will look at how current trending visual styles are easily created, Duo tones, glitches and orange/teal color grading.

We get ‘type nerdy’ and use font pairing in Typekit. You will use Photoshop to identify the fonts used in an image and learn how to work with hidden glyph & ligatures as well as variable & open type fonts.

You will master art boards while you are learning how to make easily updatable multiple sized social media & ad banner graphics.

Their is a big section on advanced retouching techniques, advanced healing, advanced cloning & patching.
