Course Description
This introductory course to Photoshop covers the fundamental
functions to get started editing and improving photos. The student
learns how to customize workspaces and panels, navigate the canvas
effectively, work with multiple images and file types, and use various
methods of image enhancement, including layering, selecting, and
masking. Support files are included for this course, so students can
follow along in the hands-on lectures. If you're a beginner to Photoshop
or simply want to learn more about various selections, layering, and
masking techniques, this course is for you!
The course is structured in a way to maximize learning. I first go over how to do basic functions in Photoshop like
- Adjusting settings of new documents
- Navigating around the canvas
- Cycling through screen modes
- Working with multiple images
- Cropping and resizing images
I then go over into more detailed instruction, in which the students continue to follow along and learn more about
- Layering images
- Layer blending modes
- Adjustment layers
- Layer styles
- Making selections
- Masking layers
The
final three follow-along exercises involve using layering and masking
to create a “text in photo” clipping mask effect, a high dynamic range
landscape adjustment, and a selective sharpening portrait edit.
I
have years of experience using Photoshop, including doing web and
advertising design at a newspaper, an advertising design firm, a library
system, and freelance work for about two decades. I’ve also been
managing editor at two international graphic design magazines, and I’m
currently a full-time professor of graphic design and digital media.
I’ve taken classes on digital production and design during my
undergraduate and graduate work.
So enroll today and let’s learn about Photoshop and its amazing capabilities of photo editing and digital effects.
