Photoshop can famously be used to edit photos. It allows you to whiten teeth, remove blemishes and remove red eye amongst other things. This session shows you how to ensure that your photo is looking perfect before you use it.
The key techniques trained include:
Each Photoshop image is composed of one or more layers. They are a very powerful concept that when used correctly allows for very rapid and simple editing of an image. Separating a composite image into a number of different layers means that when you would like to edit a certain effect or area you can work with just the relevant area on the relevant layer. This lets you focus on the specific change you would like to make and leave all other parts of the image unchanged.
The key topics trained include:
