This Learn by Video course offers in-depth training on the interface, workflow, and features of Adobe Illustrator CS6. The contents of this course include:
Introducing Photoshop CS6
This chapter is packed with videos designed to quickly get you up to speed with Photoshop CS6. You’ll tour Photoshop's interface, learn how to optimize Photoshop for real-world productivity, and discover how Photoshop can be used to create compelling images.
Photoshop Project Explorations
This chapter contains a series of fun and easy-to-follow tutorials designed to introduce you to Photoshop and give you a taste of its capabilities.
Customizing Photoshop
In this chapter you’ll learn how to customize Photoshop's panels, keyboard shortcuts, menus, and preferences to suit the way you work.
Image Editing Concepts
This chapter introduces you to the basics of image editing. The important concepts you learn here will serve as the foundation of your Photoshop knowledge. We’ll explore the mysteries of resolution and color and look at the importance of layers and masks.
Layers and Masks
Layers are a core feature of Photoshop, giving you the ability to assemble different images together, create mock-ups, and make powerful image adjustments that remain fully editable after you save and close your file. In this chapter, we will break down Photoshop’s layer features.
Photo Retouching
Photo retouching can mean many things: anti-aging, removing imperfections, creating balance, drawing the viewer’s eye to your subject, and so on. This chapter will guide you through the key skills involved in retouching.
Creating Beautiful Digital Images with Adobe Camera Raw
Most images need a little color correction, but some require major work. Fortunately, Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is here to save the day. The ACR plug-in is not new, but it is woefully underutilized, and in this chapter you’ll learn how to use ACR to get the best color, contrast, and detail out of any photo.
Working with Type and Creating Mock-Ups
For a long time creating type in Photoshop was not a common practice, but with the smartphone and tablet revolution, it is becoming much more common. In this chapter you’ll gets lots of techniques and tips for working with text.
3D and Video Editing
This chapter looks at Photoshop’s tools for working with 3D and video, which are greatly improved in version CS6.
Just for Fun
No video training series would be complete without showing off those “just for the fun of it” features. In this chapter you’ll learn some of my favorites.
Outputting Your Images
You put a lot of work into your images, so when it comes time to print or share them, you want to get the best quality you can. This chapter will show you how.
Artistic Expression and Special Effects
This chapter looks at some creative and artistic effects that you might want to apply to your images.
The lessons are wrapped in a feature-rich interface that lets you jump to any topic and bookmark individual sections for later review. Full-Screen mode provides a hi-def, immersive experience, and Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window so you can play the videos alongside your application. Also included are exercise files that give you an easy way to try out the techniques you learn and a 48-page guide containing supplemental material.
