Description

UPDATE - February 2019 - Learn the Double Exposure Effect

The Photoshop Manipulation and Editing Masterclass Contains projects that help you master both editing techniques and conquer simple and complex photo manipulation projects.  

This class will teach you non-destructive editing which allows you to edit or change a photo without disturbing the original photo, giving you more control over changes down the road. 

The first section will show you Photoshop’s amazing editing tools including the content aware tools, where things seem to disappear like magic.

We will review how we can even change the season of a photo quickly by using selective color.

We will use the spot healing brush tool to retouch with ease and brighten up dull photos with dodge and burn. 

We will change hair and clothing color by painting with blending modes and even learn how to paint on gold makeup for dramatic effects and lighting. 

The second section of this class will focus on photo manipulation projects that vary from easy to complex.

The first project will start to review the many ways to isolate and select our images to be placed in new environments and also learning how to edit glass to adapt to it’s new background. We will also change white wine into red! 

The next project we will turn a simple bottle of olive oil into a beautiful fish bowl. We will learn how to select and cut objects with fine details and how to paint on water with realistic effects. 

We will do a head swap project next. I detail the process of how to swap heads using a combination of tools like the liquify tool and the clone tools. 

Our next project will focus on painting make-up and producing dynamic lighting effects to create a character worth remembering. 

Lastly, we will use all of the tools we covered in the class to conquer a complex photo manipulation with 6 photos that will look like one magical world when we are done. 

This class is perfect for aspiring graphic designers, those who already practice graphic design and want to improve there editing and photoshop skills or for those who want to create digital art with Photoshop to show of their creative talents. 

This class focuses on several real-world projects I have had to do for clients during my 14 year freelance graphic design career and a few fun ones as well. 

This class is guaranteed to up your Photoshop game no matter what your level is. This class is gentle enough for newcomers to Photoshop yet still applicable to those with intermediate skills.

First of all, Welcome to the course! 

I am glad you decided to join me for this journey to hopefully become not only a better Photoshop user, but learn all of the skills and techniques to create stunning photo manipulations and projects.

You can download the resource guide in the first lecture of the class, which contains a full list of resources (with links) where you can download each photo used in every video in the class, if you wanted to work along side me. This will be updated if links change or if any new projects are added. Please feel free to contact me if you notice a link that is no longer active and I will work to find a replacement.

I want you to take this class at your own pace. The first section features most of the tools we will be using later on in the project based section of this class. This section will cover non-destructive editing techniques as well as some photo editing basics. The pace of this section is a little more slow and is great for those with beginner level skills in Photoshop or those wanting a review in the newest tools.

The second section of the class features five photo manipulation projects, with each project getting more complex. New projects and lessons will be added to this course frequently.

I have an exclusive Facebook group for students of any of my classes, where you can gather and post projects and ask questions!
