Imagine being able to enhance your ability to create accurate masks, image effects, and retouch images. You'll further your understanding of isolating image areas by creating and saving masks with specialized tools, commands, modes, and layer elements. You'll learn how to use vector paths for a variety of purposes, including masking, clipping paths, and illustration. You'll also create and apply creative elements such as gradients, patterns, and color overlays, and will generate special effects ranging from distorted type to simulating natural media paint realistically. When you've completed the course, you'll have a firm grasp on Photoshop concepts that are applicable to almost every facet of using the application, including Web design, preparing photographic images for printing, and illustration.

Course Objectives
Use the Background Eraser, Quick Mask mode, alpha channels, and layer masks to isolate image areas quickly and accurately, even for images with indistinct edges and very fine details.
Create clipping masks to use one layer's contents to mask another's.
Create vector paths as tools for selecting images, for creating transparent areas in images to be used with other applications, and for drawing shapes.
Create color swatches, gradients, and patterns.
Distort type by warping it, wrapping it on a path, and transforming it.
Create layer comps to quickly compare multiple versions of a document.
Retouch and restore old damaged photographs.
Simulate natural media painted effects.
Automate multi-step processes with actions and batch processing
