Photoshop 2020 Essential Training: The Basics

- [Julieanne] Photoshop is the industry standard for creative visual expression. Whether you're looking to pursue a career in design or photography, or you want to learn the tools to enhance your own image-making, then this LinkedIn Learning course is for you. My name's Julieanne Kost, and I've been working on the Photoshop team at Adobe for over 25 years. This series focuses on the essentials. We'll start by taking a look at how to open, navigate, and work with multiple images. Then we'll explore the Photoshop interface, quickly customizing it to take advantage of the tools that we use most often. Together we'll walk through the essentials of digital imaging, including bit depth, color space, file formats, and image size. We'll use the crop tool to straighten and transform photographs as well as apply the retouching tools to remove distracting elements. We're also going to cover the three most essential aspects of Photoshop: layers, selections, and masking. We'll work with smart objects and smart filters and apply nondestructive adjustments both globally and locally to our images. I'm excited to be your instructor, and I can't wait to share what I know about Photoshop. So let's dive in.
