4 hours online Saturday, February 27th • 2021 9AM PST / 12pm EST
This intensive online workshop is designed to improve your workflow, demonstrate quick and easy techniques to enhance almost any photograph and expose students to the power of Photoshop’s plug-in filters. Instruction covers the importance of layers and layer masks, using blend modes, HDR in Photoshop, easy retouching tips, dodging and burning, using actions and much more.
A more condensed class than my 4 week Tips, Tricks & Filter Magic class but it will be in depth in many aspects of some of the best parts of Photoshop & include some things that were not shown in the longer class. I love showing what this one of a kind piece of software can do for almost any image!
It’s a big world out there!
The course also focuses on the power of native and third-party plug-in filters that offer an amazing variety of powerful and stunning visual effects that can enhance almost any image. Many techniques will be shown for converting to black and white, clone out people in seconds, add clouds effortlessly, replace skies, alter body parts, airbrush to smooth out skin & create stunning panoramas, among many other techniques.
This workshop will reveal many powerful tips and tricks in Photoshop and will also focus on the best ways photographers can actually use these tools & methods to realize their artistic vision. Photoshop can be intimidating but is absolutely the tool that we need to make our photos look just like we envisioned them. This class was designed to excite you about this amazing program & will show you how to achieve your vision.
Basic Photoshop skills are needed
This is not a beginning Photoshop course so a basic knowledge of Photoshop is helpful. This workshop will cover many important parts of this software & also many more advanced techniques that can help enhance all kinds of images in many ways.
We will also be using Camera Raw during the class as it is incredibly useful as a filter inside of Photoshop. The correct settings for Photoshop will also be covered and this will be one fun and informative course for sure! There will be a ton of before & after images so that you can see what it took to get to my final vision on many of my images.
The best software on the planet!
I have been using Photoshop since version 2 long ago in the 90’s. I ran Photoshop Meetup groups for years in Los Angeles at Apple Computer and have taught Photoshop at UCLA Extension for over 16 years where I still teach.
I also beta test for most of the Photoshop plugin makers as I love using & demonstrating the best plugins made. Years ago, I also wrote a book on my favorite plugins as they are incredibly powerful and I will show you how to create some stunning images using them.
