Photoshop 2021 Essential Training: Design

- Photoshop is the industry standard for image manipulation and creative visual expression. Whether you're looking to pursue a career or you want to learn the tools to enhance your own design skills, this LinkedIn learning course is for you. I'm Julieanne Kost and I've been working on the Photoshop team at Adobe for over 25 years. I started in technical support, worked as a designer on the customer education team, and today I'm the principal digital imaging evangelist. Because Photoshop is a complex program, I created this fundamental training course and the tools that we cover specifically with the designer in mind. We start by exploring the power of smart objects and their ability to allow us to work in a flexible and nondestructive manner. Then we take an in-depth tour of the different transformation tools and filters that designers use most often. Together, we'll walk through the essentials of shape layers and layer effects and styles as well as fill layers and blend modes. We'll take that look at how to work with Photoshop's type and painting tools, as well as cover the essential aspects of libraries, art boards and file export in order to increase our productivity. My goal is to remove any technical barriers so you can master the technology and start creating as soon as possible. I'm excited to be your instructor and I can't wait to share what I know about Photoshop. So let's get started.
