Beginning Photoshop II: Creative Techniques
© Jamie Redmond
This four-week continuation class is designed to raise participants’ knowledge to a more professional level of digital workflow. Color management, monitor calibration, color settings in Photoshop and output profiles will be covered in detail. Students will learn and be exposed to:
- Digital Workflow techniques such as advanced options in the new Bridge file organization, multi-image digital Camera Raw 3.5 file processing, and adjustments to exposure, shadows, brightness, contrast and color balance.
- Post Production techniques such as layer masks and layer adjustments, color correction, clone with vanishing point and dealing with digital noise.
- Special Effects techniques such as cross processing C-41 in E6 effect, hand coloring effects and shallow depth of field effect.
- Final Output techniques such as print set-up and proper use of the printer profile of different papers.
As this course will not have access to a digital lab, students are required to bring their own laptops loaded with at least Photoshop 7.0, preferably CS (and a mouse or graphics tablet, if they have one). Open to students having completed “Beginning Photoshop I: The Fundamentals” or equivalent experience.
