We'll be starting off things by learning about some of the basic selection tools in Photoshop - both manual and automated tools.
Once you know about the basics of selections, we'll be moving to challenging images and learning the usage of the Select and Mask Tool in Photoshop which is great for making selections of soft-edged parts of the subjects like hair, fur, trees, etc.
You will be getting your hands on a document which will have the steps you have to take in a sequence when using the Select and Mask interface.
In this course one of the major learning will be that the workflow involved in making selections differs a lot based on how complex the subject is.
For easy subjects, the job can be done in less than 30 seconds. For complex images, it can take slightly longer.
You'll also be learning how to use the different selection tools together to create some complex selections. Some of these tools will include:

There is no doubt that the major emphasis in this course is on the Select and Mask interface because mastering the usage of Select and Mask will enable you to make selections in subjects with complex and soft edges.
This course is designed in a very systematic manner so that you never feel overwhelmed. This is achieved by teaching the correct workflow so the learning can be applied to your own images with ease.
