Adobe Photoshop CS6
Have you ever seen photographs that were ripped or faded, then perfectly restored
and wondered, how they did that? Perhaps you have marveled at the way a portrait
can be transformed to make the subject appear 10 years younger or how people can be
added or deleted to a scene. This course will cover batch processing images, advanced
masking techniques, special effects and filters. We will explore the exciting possibilities
in High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR), the current creative trend in image manipulation.
Photoshop CS has become an essential tool for professional and amateur photographers
and is considered to be "Today's Darkroom." (18 hours) $249
