This workshop focuses on developing correct techniques in Photoshop to mask and reveal different images, layers, and effects, providing students with the foundation needed to combine multiple photos, retouch portraits, and source and blend different elements to create any image desired.

Students will also be introduced to a non-destructive workflow that preserves the original image, making it effortless to create multiple versions or quickly reverse any modifications made to source imagery.

By engaging in hands-on practice, students will understand how Photoshop works, allowing them to create powerful portraits, band photos, fashion photographs, landscapes, etc.

With these skills students will feel confident when:

• combining and colour-correcting multiple images into a final composite
• retouching portraits
• accentuating or warping features of a face or scene
• “relighting” figures
• removing or adding blemishes and wrinkles
• adding effects such as fire, smoke, or sparks.

The instructor will provide image files for participants to use during workshop exercises.
