A huge advantage of using Photoshop is that it allows for experimentation. Photoshop has an "undo" function. This allows you to try many different ideas and if they don't work, you just undo them and try something else. You are only out the time it took to try them.
This Photoshop course will teach you to:
- Correct images that are over and underexposed
- Repair damage to images
- Create backgrounds for images
- Combine parts of different images
Another advantage of Photoshop is that you don't have to do everything in one fell swoop. You can save an image at any stage for further work. With Photoshop, you simply call up the file and resume work as if you never stopped.
You will learn to:
- Correct damaged images
- Change a color image to black and white, hand color black and white images
- Remove distractions
- Add lighting effects
Create you own custom project in this class.
