Learn how to use Photoshop CC 2017 nondestructively to improve the exposure of a photo and enhance the color, contrast, and sharpness. Explore working with raw images and more.
- Hi, my name's Rich Harrington and in this course, we're going to explore non-destructive work flows using Adobe Photoshop. When you work non-destructively, in means that you can jump in at any point in time and make changes, and that's very important. We'll get there using things like adjustment layers and smart filters as well as masking techniques. This is an excellent way to work in Photoshop because the tasks of color correction and adjusting exposure are often subjective. Depending upon your playback device, whether it's mobile or perhaps wanting to print, you might want to further tweak things.
And, as you show your images to clients or colleagues, where you get feedback from a general audience, you might decide to make subtle changes to the images as you go forward. Well, if you've worked non-destructively, you can always go back in time or easily make adjustments to what you've put into place. In this course, we're going to cover a wide range of techniques. I'm going to focus on the general work flow first, then I'll walk you through all sorts of common problems. There will be a special emphasis on working with both HDR images and black-and-white photography and many common problems that affect standard color photography, too.
I'm going to show you a wide range of images, things that come from travel as well as professional photo shoots, and you'll see how to put these techniques into action. This is a very hands-on class, so we're going to explore a lot of different techniques. You can, of course, jump around and watch just the parts for the tools that you need, but I encourage you, if you have time, to watch the course from beginning to end. The early chapters are going to lay down a work flow and you need to learn how to change way that you work. Once you switch to non-destructive editing, it will completely change the way that you see Photoshop.
Alright, we've got a lot to do, so let's jump in and start to explore.
