Course Overview

Hi there, my name is  Dan and I am an Adobe Certified Instructor for Photoshop  - this is the Advanced Photoshop course.

This course is not for people new to Photoshop. This is for people who already know the fundamentals. It is for people who have their own ways of doing things but believe there really is a better, faster way to work. 

We will start by learning the best selection techniques available. I promise, by the end of the first section what took you 30mins to mask will now take you 30 seconds. 

What am I going to get from this course?
  • 13+ Hours of content!
  • 10+ Interactive exercises
  • 68 downloadable resources
  • You'll learn the best selection and masking techniques
  • You'll know how to fix images that look 'hard to fix'
  • You'll master advanced levels and curves tricks, specifically with skin, adjusting and enhancing colors
  • You'll learn how to enlarge images without distortion and what to do when things go wrong
  • You'll know how to convincingly remove all kinds of objects from images
  • My favourite: You'll master the ability to distort, bend and reshape images
  • Lets look at how current trending styles are super easy to duplicate
  • You will become a type nerd. We'll use font pairing in Typekit. We'll also use Photoshop's ability to guess fonts
  • Your Artboards skill will be mastered
  • A master of retouching, you will become!
  • You'll learn to edit videos in Photoshop, who'd have thought?
  • We'll also create awesome cinemagraphs, AKA: Moving pictures!
  • You'll learn to master 3D in Photoshop!
  • You'll learn lots about professional, reusable mockups, techniques and shortcuts!

Here's some of the things we'll be doing in this course:
We will correct 'hard to fix' images and learn what to do with blurry images. We will master Advanced Levels & Curves tricks and will work specifically with skin, adjusting and enhancing colours. 

You will learn how to enlarge images without distorting them and also, what to do when things go wrong. 

We will learn how to convincingly remove all kinds of objects from images. My personal favourite section will show you how to distort, bend & reshape images.

We will look at how current trending visual styles are easily created, duotones, glitches and orange/teal colour grading.

We get 'type nerdy' and use font pairing in Typekit. We will use Photoshop to identify the fonts used in an image and learn how to work with hidden glyphs & ligatures as well as variable & open type fonts.

You will master artboards while you are learning how to make easily updatable multiple sized social media & ad banner graphics. 

There is a big section on advanced retouching techniques, advanced healing, advanced cloning & patching. 

You will learn how to edit videos in Photoshop. We will also animate static images creating parallax videos plus the very cool cinemagraphs sometimes called 'living pictures' - great for social media. 

You will learn to master 3D in photoshop. We will finish off the course with professional, reusable mockup techniques & shortcuts. 

This course has a strong focus on workflow. We use real world, practical projects and show you the professional techniques and shortcuts which will save you hours using Photoshop. Throughout the course I have many class exercises for you to use in order to practice your skills. 

Who am I? 
As well as being an Officially Certified Expert by Adobe, I’m photoshop guru and user with 18 years Photoshop experience. I make tutorial videos directly for Adobe and will again this year be presenting a seminar on  Photoshop at Adobe’s 20 thousand attendee strong Max Conference.  

If you can’t remember the last time you sat down and went through the updates in Photoshop, let this course be your one stop professional development and upgrade path.   

Even if you consider yourself a heavy user, I promise there will be things in here that will blow your Photoshop mind. Sign up now!

I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Transcript

Hi there, my name is Dan. I'm an Adobe Certified Instructor for Photoshop, and this is your Photoshop Advanced course. Now this is an advanced course, so it's not for beginners in Photoshop. It is for people who already understand the fundamentals of Photoshop. You have your way of working, but you know that there is a better, faster, more efficient way of working. That thing that takes you half an hour to do, you know that there's probably a one-click solution. Now if that sounds familiar, this course is for you. 


We'll start by learning all the best selection techniques available. I promise, by the end of this first section, what took you 30 minutes to mask will take you 30 seconds. We'll fix the hard images, we'll do the blurry images. Advanced levels and curls tricks. How to work specifically with skin, plus adjusting and enhancing colors. We'll learn the tricks for enlarging images without distorting. What to do when it all goes wrong. You'll learn to create more of something, like this grass here, where there wasn't something before. You'll learn the tricks for convincingly removing, all kinds of objects from images. 
In my personal favorite section, we'll show you how to distort, bend, and reshape images. We'll even make this guy dance. Hey, does he dance? You'll learn how lots more trending visual styles are created easily. Duo Tones, Glitches. Orange and Dual color grading, Double exposures, there's loads more to it. We get Typeknit, font pairing with Typekit. Getting Photoshop to guess fonts that are being used in an image. Heading Glyphs and Ligatures for fonts, plus Variable, Open Type, and similar fonts. It's Typetastic. It's a word. 


You'll master Artboards while you're learning, how to make easily updatable, multiple sized social media posts. There's a big section on Advanced Retouching. Advanced Healing, Advanced Cloning and Patching, as well as face adjustments. We'll be a little bit more subtle than this. We'll master teeth and eye corrections. You'll learn how to edit videos in Photoshop. We'll also animate static images creating these parallax videos. Plus the very cool Cinemagraphs, better known as Living Images. Really great for social media, playing on and on. 


You'll learn how to master 3D in Photoshop. We'll finish off the course with professional, reusable mock-up techniques and shortcuts. Now this course has a really strong focus on work flow. We're going to use practical real world projects, to learn the tips, techniques, the shortcuts, that really shave hours out of your Photoshop day. So, who am I? As well as being an officially certified Photoshop expert by Adobe, I am an 18-year Photoshop veteran. I also get to make Adobe Help videos directly for them. And again this year I'm presenting Photoshop, at Adobe's 20,000 attendee’s strong conference called Adobe Max. 


This course comes with downloadable exercise files, so you can play along with the course. Throughout the course as well, I set class projects, so that you can practice the skills you're learning. Now if you can't remember the last time you went through all of the updates and upgrades to Photoshop, let this course be your all-in-one professional development for Photoshop. 


All right, even if you consider yourself a pretty heavy user of Photoshop, I promise, you'll find stuff in this course that will blow your Photoshop mind. So what are you waiting for? Sign up, and I'll see you in there. I'm not sure why I point back there.
