Self Study
Are you “afraid” of Photoshop? Have you heard other photographers reference the power of Photoshop but felt intimidated by its complexities?
Participants will be introduced to the potential workflow, a workflow common among some of the best photographers in the world. If you are primarily a Lightroom Classic user, you can travel between Lightroom and Photoshop with a simple shortcut, having both tools at your fingertips for widest range of possibilities and editing results.
Catherine’s approach to teaching Photoshop leaves nobody behind. Her slow and methodical tutorials censure your success and understanding of the program.
Topics Include: Layers and Masking, Retouching Tools (healing brush vs. spot healing brush, patch tool, clone/stamp tool, etc.), Creating Selections for editing specific areas of a photograph
Learn how to use these techniques: Brushes (effective use of size, hardness, opacity and flow), Non-destructive color and tone adjustment (Using Smart Objects and Adjustment Layers), Transforming Images (Warp, Perspective, Skew, etc. This applies most often to architecture, but not always.)
Creating simple composites (using two separate images to create one final image)
