I found it hard with the channel mask at start and the levels I was using the levels next to properties which created another layer mask above my blue channel and then I discovered it was the channel under image and adjustment! But at the end I managed to do it:)

For this one I´m not sure if it was better to bleed out part of the leaves to sell the effect better or size it so it fits in the composition.

Channel Mask. Go to channels. Toggle between command 3, command 4, command 4. pick the one with the most contrast. Duplicate layer. Use your brush with black selected paint the bottom everything but the edges. Click the selection tool in the channels panel. Select inverse. Go to layer. create mask. copy and paste other image.

Overview

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!

Course duration 13 hours 45 mins + your study.

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.

All right, I've got an exercise for you to practice with, also a shortcut. Now I'm not sure if this is for Mac or PC only, I don't have a PC here to test it on, so leave a comment to let me know whether it works on PC. 


So I've got my Finder open here on my Mac, and I want to open up the project file, so 'Class Project 02'. I want to select both of these, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to start dragging, hold down 'Command Tab'. 'Command Tab', but if I just hold 'Command' down, and just cycles through all the open programs, and before I let go, to go to Photoshop, I'm just going to drag it into it and let go. Is that a shortcut? It is for me, maybe it's not for anybody else. 


You can also do the same thing - if I undo - by dragging it down here. Just dragging it down here into the dock, and into the actual icon for Photoshop, that works as well. But I'm hoping this whole thing works for PC as well, because I know you can hold down, maybe the Control key and hit Tab to do it. You'll have to help me out because I couldn't find it online. 


Anyway, we've got the things open. What I want you to do is mask, using your Channel Mask amazing skills. Mask this thing out, and stick it in front of the Sunflower. Let's look at the requirements, use those images, cut out the-- We'll use the Channel Mask to get started, but you can use the Select & Mask, and the Brush Tool. 


Remember, we set it to Overlay to kind of fix the edges. You'll have to adjust the levels of probably the grass or the background, just to get them to look believable. Then take a screen shot and share it with me. Either in the projects here or on social media, which is all at the top. Good luck, advanced Photoshop user, I will see you in the next video.
