Masking in Photoshop with Ed Freeman (In-Person Learning - One Session)

In-Person Learning Class at LACP

Simply put, masking is the heart and soul of Photoshop. Masking allows you to make incredibly subtle and complex selections with ease, which in turn opens up a world of image correction, retouching and compositing.

One of the principle functions of Photoshop is to adjust images. Adjustments are relatively easy to learn; knowing where and how to apply them is a function of masking. Compositing is a technique that is basic to Photoshop; the way into the world of compositing is masking. Masking does nothing in itself, but it makes everything else possible.

We’ll spend class time working with a variety of pictures and masking techniques. Students should come away with a whole new understanding of the near-limitless power and possibilities of Photoshop.

Dual monitors are suggested by not required. Students will be learning using Photoshop CC.
