Photoshop Foundation – Level 2

This course is aimed at those with a good understanding of the basics of Photoshop and image adjustments and who want to take their image retouching to the next level. 

The main focus of our intermediate Photoshop class is to develop an efficient and non-destructive workflow from capture to output. Covering key areas such as non-destructive retouching, working with adjustment layers, cloning in Layers, organising the layer stack, keyboard shortcuts and the workspace, Level 2 will deliver a comprehensive follow on from the Photoshop Foundation. 

You will cover fundamental editing skills, such as colour with curves, layer masks and selective corrections. All editing will be taught with image quality in mind.
