Learn the essential techniques for improving your workflow and creating better images
In its early days, over thirty years ago, Adobe Photoshop was nothing but a simple image editing program that had been developed by two brothers in their free time. Now, fast forward today and the number of filters, functions, effects, and plug-ins is enough to make you dizzy.
In this 5-course Domestika Basics, Carles Marsal guides you through some of the most advanced features of Photoshop to help you create truly amazing work. This series of courses has been designed as a follow-up to Introduction to Adobe Photoshop, also taught by Carles Marsal.
In the first course, learn about the vector capabilities of Photoshop, including advanced methods for selecting and separating elements.
For your second course, discover blending modes, including specific details, applications, and different uses in photography and illustration.
In the third course, focus on styles and text. Understand their range of possibilities and how to manage them correctly when applied to your work.
For your fourth course, dive into the possibilities of smart objects, which allow you to modify and edit quickly in a non-destructive way — something that was previously impossible.
In the fifth and final course, learn about smart filters and how they differ from normal filters. Finish by getting some final working tips from Carles.
