Mastering Adjustment Layers

The method you use to apply an adjustment has as much to do with your success as the adjustment settings you apply, including:

• Limiting your adjustments to the bright or dark areas of the image
• Using masks to refine your results
• Seeing how blending modes can dramatically affect your results
• Quickly applying the same adjustment to multiple images
• Using the Adjustments and Masks panel most efficiently
• Using clipping masks to limit which layers are affected
• Applying adjustments to a selective group of layers instead of the entire image
• What to look out for when changing modes (RGB to CMYK for instance)

Understanding Color Adjustments

Photoshop offers an abundance of color adjustments including Hue/Saturation, Color Balance, Curves, Levels, Photo Filter, Channel Mixer, Selective Color, Gradient Map and Match Color. See how you can divide all those adjustments into three categories (warm/cool, HSB and specialty) and learn how to think about each category in such a way where your education applies to all the adjustments in that group. You'll have a much better idea about how color adjustments work in Photoshop after this class, including:

• How Color Balance, Curves, Levels and Channel Mixer are really variations of the same adjustment
• See that switching between working with light and ink is just a shift in thinking and not adjustment
• Learn how the Info panel plays a critical role in precise adjustments
• Understand simple concepts will allow you to perform professional color correction
• Walk away with the knowledge of how to choose between all of Photoshop's adjustments

• Dealing with gaps in a long panorama
• The camera settings that are essential to producing a successful panorama
• Creative panorama techniques for those times when you don't want a "plain Jane" panorama
• How to best incorporate filters such as a polarizer, neutral density and more
• Methods for producing the sharpest and highest quality results
• How to even out the sky so it matches from side to side
