- [Voiceover] Hi, and welcome to the Photoshop CC Essential Training 2015. In this course, I'm excited to share with you insights about the most efficient ways to use Photoshop to enhance our photographs, composite multiple images together, and automate our workflow. This course will focus on getting the most out of Photoshop. We'll begin by taking a quick tour of the Photoshop interface, and discover how to customize it to meet our needs. We'll discuss how to efficiently work with multiple documents, and talk about basic imaging essentials such as color modes and bit depths, file formats and image size.
Next, we'll take a brief tour of Camera Raw, and its essential place in our workflow. Quickly, we turn into Photoshop. We'll look at transformations and distortions, cropping and warping images. We'll discuss how to work with multiple layers and layer masks, make selections, and add adjustment layers. We'll experiment with creative blend mode techniques, compositing essentials, apply smart objects and smart filters, explore type, shape layers, even video. My goal is to have you making professional results as soon as possible.
