  • Session 2: Non-Destructive Editing & Selections

    In this session, you'll learn how to harness the power of layers and masks, make quick selections using the right tool for the job, and drastically reduce files size--all while making your job easier.

    Develop the best color management system for you to ensure consistent color from device to device and program to program. Understand the myriad of brush options to mimic traditional bristle brushes, erodible tips and artistic techniques and soft-proof to output devices, color modes and profiles.

  • Session 3: Filters for Art, Enhancement & Correction

    In session 3 learn how to use filters to focus your viewer's attention where you want it, disguise or correct flaws in an image and make artistic enhancements.
