Course content

2 sections • 25 lectures • 2h 48m total length

  • Introduction to Adobe Photoshop8:08

    Explore the photoshop interface and cloud documents, and create a new document with name, units, orientation, size in cm, 300 dpi, rgb color, 16-bit depth, and transparent background.

  • Camera RAW4:27

    Explore Camera Raw in Photoshop: import raw files, crop and adjust exposure, white balance, texture, clarity, dehaze, vibrance, saturation, and color temperature to prep digital negatives before editing in Photoshop.

  • Software interface and cutting tool30:27

    Explore the Photoshop interface, menus, and tools to edit photos, work with layers, and perform precise selections using marquee, lasso, magnetic lasso, and the magic wand.

  • Crop tool2:55

    Master the crop tool to select the photo fragment to keep. Use a dynamic crop area with optional ratios, choose from formats, and confirm with enter; cropping affects all layers.

  • Frame tool1:29

    Explore the framing tool to create a photo frame by selecting a frame area and pasting another image inside, then adjust the inner photo and delete the frame if needed.

  • Eyedropper tool1:51

    Master the eyedropper and color picker to sample colors from any photo area, then blend shadows naturally and choose matching frame or text colors.

  • Healing brush5:20

    Use the healing brush in Photoshop to remove unwanted elements by adjusting brush size, hardness, and spacing, selecting pixel sources, and applying patch and red-eye tools for seamless edits.

  • Brush tool0:57

    use the brush tool to paint over photos, especially for portrait edits, and note that the pencil, color replacement, and mixer brush tools belong to graphics rather than photography.

  • Clone stamp tool1:21

    Explore the clone stamp tool, similar to the healing brush, for copying photo fragments to create collages or mask areas by sourcing pixels and painting over pigeons or pavements.

  • History brush tool1:10

    Discover how the history brush tool, from the history tab, lets you undo beyond one action and restore parts of an image after using the clone stamp to erase pigeon.

  • Eraser tool1:54

    Use the eraser tool to remove parts of a photo and reveal background when the layer is off; switch to the magic eraser to select borders or fill with paint.

  • Paint bucket tool0:49

    Use the paint bucket tool to fill erased areas with a chosen color, such as black or white, and match surrounding tones with the eyedropper for seamless pavement color.

  • Blur tool2:30

    Explore the blur tool to soften areas and the sharpen tool to boost detail in portrait editing. Try the smudge tool for pastel-like effects and undo with the history window.

  • Dodge tool, burn tool2:23

    Apply the dodge tool to lighten midtones, shadows, and highlights, then use the burn tool to darken shadows or bright areas, adjusting exposure for portrait detail.

    Use the pen tool to add curves and shapes in the photo. Photoshop offers logo design and unconventional shapes, while Illustrator handles more curve work.

    Explore the Photoshop layer window, work on new layers, duplicate the background, adjust opacity and blending modes, and learn grouping, merging, and flattening for export.

  • Editing portrait photos17:40

Description

We have huge experience in teaching photography and photo editing. Thousands of learners have participated in training courses in our company. In our photo post-processing course, we rely on the experience of our trainers, who are also photographers. In this course, we start with the basics of Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop and then gradually move on to the next levels of knowledge. Adobe Lightroom is much easier and more intuitive, which is why working with it is more user-friendly. However, it does not mean that Lightroom is for amateurs. In fact, it is used by many professionals. Adobe Photoshop requires more attention and work, but it also gives you incomparably more options to work with images. In this course, we will guide you through basic editing, working with RAW files, working with layers and masks, airbrushing photos and many other functions. During the course, you will get to know the majority of the most important tools and practise using them. This online course is for anyone who thinks about editing photos for their own needs and for commercial purposes. If you take photos, the ability to edit them will definitely come in handy. You can also treat this course as an introduction to working with graphic design.

We use Adobe Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC 2020.

Who this course is for:

  • For anyone who thinks about editing photos for their own needs and for commercial purposes.
