Welcome to Photoshop Essentials For Photographers: Edit Like A Pro!   This course is designed specifically for beginners who want to unlock the power of Adobe Photoshop and elevate their photography editing skills to the next level.

In this comprehensive course, you’ll learn from the ground up.  We start with the basics of Photoshop; setting up and importing files and work our way through essential tools and techniques. Whether you're completely new to Photoshop or have little editing experience, this course will take you step-by-step through the software focussing specifically on the needs on photographers like you and me... From simple camera raw edits through to stacking layers of adjustment layers and using blend modes, specialist functions like puppet warp and the liquify tool, painting light (even when none existed in the original image), replacing skies, adding lens flare, painting pixels, changing colours, learn how to paint a black and white image into colour, explore filters, masking, artistic brushes.  Even learn to create your own brushes from subject matter in your own photographs for utterly unique artwork if you decide to build your skills in that direction.  This is also a useful tool for repairing images where subjects or pixels are absent or missing.

In the final section we will pull all the skills you've learned together to create a final four image multiple exposure with me, a skill used by professional photographers to create striking visual narratives.

This course has over five hours of video with images included for you to practice including my .psd's so you can look at how I've worked through the layers in Photoshop.  It comes with a comprehensive (now over 10,000 word) course manual for those of you who like written as well as audio visual resources to work with...

With these skills you'll elevate your editing capability to a whole new level and open doors to creating your own conceptual art, artistic photography and creative edits setting you apart from the competition.
