Overview

Broaden your knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and sign up for this course, which will guide you through some of the more advanced techniques that are available within the application. While having proficiency using the Photoshop essential features is certainly an advantage, mastering more complex techniques will help prospective employees to stand out that little bit more and help them to beat their peers and secure that job or promotion.

Get to Grips with Complex Features

This project-based series of tutorials and exercises will introduce you to some of the more advanced functions that Photoshop possesses, including Smart Object workflow, Photoshop 3D and 32-bit colour space. This course is delivered online and so can be picked up, and put down, as and when your free time allows. There are no deadlines to adhere to either; simply complete the syllabus within 12 months.

Description

Four Chapters, One Syllabus

With the help of expert, Brian Maffitt, you will work through four distinct chapters that will help you to get to grips with the more complex features of the application.

KEY LEARNING POINTS

While it’s predominantly ideal for professionals looking to develop their Photoshop understanding and show a well-rounded grasp of its advanced features as well as the more basic functions, this course is also useful for anyone who likes to ‘dabble’ with the application in their spare time, too.

  • Get to grips with how to choose suitable material for artistic compositing, and learn how to use channels for difficult masks.
  • Learn more about layer management with smart objects, and learn how to create more complicated textures from illustrations.
  • Explore 3D modelling within Photoshop, including creating seamless objects and smooth gradients from grayscale, using curves as a modelling tool and merging 3D layers to create fantastic results. Learn more about how to import, export and combine your 3D projects.
  • Gain further insight into the various textures and lights that can be created, such as metal textures, material shininess, point lights and spot lights. Learn how to create an ivory material to texture the skull and use bump maps to amplify texture and detail in metalwork.
  • Explore the use of 32-bit as an artistic tool and learn how to reduce bit-depth in order to export using Smart Objects.

ADVANTAGES OF THIS COURSE

  • Add this course to your skillset and embark on an exciting new career as a freelance photographer, photo editor or graphic designer.
  • Online study whenever it suits you, providing a flexible approach to learning. All you need is a PC and access to the internet.
  • Course material is available for a full year after enrolment, so there’s no need to cram all of the study into a few days when you don’t have to. Just take your time!

Why settle for just learning the basics of Photoshop when you can master the more complex functions, too?

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
