Live Photoshop Introductory Lectures in Colorado

Instructed by Mike's Camera Educator Joe Klocek

Over the course of three mini-lectures, we will discuss the basic concepts of how Photoshop works and the essentials tools you want to have at your disposal for photo editing. The most powerful tool in photo editing is Adobe Photoshop, but most photographers are too intimidated by its complexity to give it a try. We will make the basics of how Photoshop operates accessible.

Join us on one of three days

Thursday November 21: Mike's Camera Colorado Springs

Friday November 22: Mike's Camera Boulder

Saturday November 23: Mike's Camera Lone Tree

‍

Lecture One: Layers Basics: 10:00am - 11:00am

The cornerstone of editing in Photoshop is layers. We will discuss the five types the layers, with special emphasis on adjustment layers and how we use them to begin our editing.

Lecture Two: Masking Basics: 11:30am - 12:30pm

Once we have our layers, we want to target our edits to one part of the image and not another part. This means masking.

Lecture Three: Blending Basics: 1:00pm - 2:00pm

In Photoshop we can alter how one layer interacts with other layers. We call this “blending”. In this last series we will explore the basics of blending.
