Mastering Photo Editing: Transform Your Photos into Great Art

What You Will Learn?

• This class will enable you to edit your photographs that you’ve already taken and transform them into great art. Whether you use Photoshop, Lightroom, Affinity, Snapseed, Gimp or any other photo editing application on the desktop or mobile device, you will learn the quick and easy methods to truly realize the artistic potential in your own photography..
• Whether with a cell phone or dedicated camera, you likely have thousands of photos in the gallery on your phone or your computer's hard drive. Using almost any application, whether it's Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom on the desktop or Photoshop Express or Snapseed on mobile, we will learn quick and easy steps to create beautiful images from the photos you've already taken. The specific application doesn't matter and there is no reason to go out and purchase an expensive program..
• We'll begin by exploring what makes a great image - composition, exposure, rule of thirds, and design. Then we move onto essential tone adjustments by setting the darkest darks and lightest lights in your photo before getting into easy color modifications using color temperature, clarity, and saturation tools. Before getting into simple and quick retouching techniques, we will learn some easy and very effective ways to convert your color photos into dramatic black and white art..
• This class is for anyone regardless of experience or background. The goal is for you to easily and effectively transform your photos into display worthy art, not to become a Photoshop or Lightroom expert. You will come away with the knowledge, tools and methods to make great images in just a few minutes. This is a terrific foundation to begin your journey into really learning photography and image editing..
