Adobe Photoshop is an incredible piece of software that’s not only been one of my main tools for more than 25 years, it’s been downright entertaining as well – jaw-droppingly so. Some of its features are so good and so amazing they’ll leave you completely gobsmacked. But, it will eat your life, so be warned. We all take pictures, and we just can’t resist trying to improve them. So a time will come when you’ll find yourself still sitting in front of your computer at 3 in the morning. You’ve not eaten, you’re not tired, you’re having a great time, and you’ve got to get up for work in the morning.

This course covers everything you need to know to start working professionally. The first few cover preference changes, setting up a workspace, how to use the Selection tools, things like that. Then there are lectures that start out fixing various kinds of damage: poor tone range, low contrast, and colour castes. They’re followed by videos covering more creative things: special effects, working with masks and layers, how to move something from one image into another, how to cut out difficult objects, and more.

There are loads more – but that’s for the advanced course. Video, 3D – it just keeps getting better and better. But almost all the time, Photoshop work involves what’s covered right here. The materials used in these videos are all downloadable, so you can try everything yourself.

By the end of this course, you will have learned Adobe Photoshop CC in editing photos and graphic designing.
