About this course

You will build on your existing skills and learn a variety of methods for undertaking more complex selections such as selecting via colour channels or using calculations. You will also dive into more advanced masking techniques using a variety of gradients, effects and filters on your masks, before exploring a wide range of other tools and techniques. By the end of the course you will be more confident making advanced colour correction adjustments, cloning in perspective, using more unusual brushes, warping items and even work with raw images.

This course is aimed at users who are already proficient with the basics of Photoshop and comfortable working with layers, doing basic selections and undertaking day to day tasks in photoshop like resizing images or cropping.

You should be computer literate, and comfortable with standard operating system functionality such as copy and paste or opening new files. As the course is a live online course, you will need a machine with Photoshop installed, and a stable internet connection. For the best experience we also recommend a headset and a second monitor, although the course can be completed without these. As this is a more Advanced course you should already be comfortable with the basics of Photoshop such as working with layers, making selections and navigating the Photoshop interface.
