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.

Transcript

Hi there, welcome to the end of the course. I'm glad you made it, I nearly didn't, it's like a 100+ videos. It's a really big course because Photoshop is such a big product. There's so many kind of use cases for it so it deserves this many videos, but it's a long grind, you're here now, let's talk about what to do next. 


Leave me a review or a comment on how you enjoyed the course, what I could do better, that stuff helps. But in terms of your kind of professional development, what do you do next? Let's say you're a photographer, the next step for you would be something like Lightroom, if you're not already into that. If you're in the more Graphic Design fields, you might already have skills in say Illustrator or InDesign. So I've got advanced courses on those if you want to jump into those ones. 


If you are in the kind of Web UI world, or you want to get into that world, something like Photoshop, I've broken off a separate course for Photoshop for Web Design. It's a big enough course on its own and it goes through all the kind of considerations you need to become a Web Designer using Photoshop. You mock up websites, and yes, work with a developer to get them built. So that's Web Design, you can do the same thing in Illustrator. I've got Illustrator for Web Design course. It depends on where your skills lie. You end up at the same place, you end up with a mock up for an app or website. You just got to decide whether Photoshop or Illustrator is right for you. I've got courses on both of those. 


The next step after that would be something like XD. Now what is XD? XD is Adobe's User Xperience or UX Design tool. It allows you to do a lot of the same things you do in say something like Illustrator, to design an app or a website, but the cool thing about it is that it adds a level of interactivity. You get to kind of add clicks, and drags, and swipes, and stuff to really get things tested in design phase before you move into designing this thing. I've got courses on both of those. 


What else? If you enjoy the kind of Motion Graphics side, that might be your next step. So Motion Graphics is taking stuff we've made in Photoshop, which is static, and then moving it around. So type, animated, intro videos, that type of thing. Maybe animated infographics. Something like After Effects. Check out my Animated Infographic course for After Effects. That might be the next step. I find that really cool, I really love the, you know, taking the stuff we've made and then adding it to music, animations. They're such a good kind of place to do that. We have a home for that now, online with things like YouTube and websites. 


In terms of next step for video you might look at something like Premiere. Say you did the course and you really like the editing, remember my Talking Head video, we added a little intro the beginning. You can do that for a while but you'll get to a point you're like, "Man, I wish they had these extra features." And that's where something like Adobe Premiere would be useful. So check out that course. 


That is going to be it. It's really hot in here, that's why I'm sweating. A really long course. Thank you so much for doing it. I'll see you hopefully in another video. Goodbye, from sweaty Dan.
