Learn the features of Photoshop that are useful to photographers, and gain the ability to confidently and effectively edit your photos. This class is designed to take away the mystery and make Photoshop easy to understand. Corey will share plenty of tips and tricks to save you time and effort!

The class begins with an introduction to the Photoshop workspace and then explores features including adjustment layers, masks, selections and composites. The foundation of Photoshop is using layers, yet layers can be difficult to understand.

You’ll gain confidence as we progress from basic use of layers to more complex applications, giving you extensive repetition to solidify your understanding.

This class is appropriate for people with little or no experience using Photoshop. It is designed to introduce you to the fundamental tools to get you up and running, not to cover everything Photoshop can do.

Topics Include

  • Layers and Adjustment Layers

  • Selective adjustments using masks

  • Retouching tools and techniques

  • Selection tools

  • Creating simple composites

  • Brush settings

  • Non-destructive color and tone adjustment

  • Blending two exposures of the same composition
