DESCRIPTION

In this course, you’ll learn skills that go beyond those covered in the Photoshop: Level 1 course. You’ll further your understanding of isolating image areas by creating and saving masks with specialized tools, commands, modes, and layer elements. You’ll learn how to use vector paths for a variety of purposes, including masking, clipping paths, and illustration. You’ll also learn to create and apply creative elements such as gradients, patterns, and color overlays, and to save them along with effects in easy-to-apply layer styles. When you’ve completed the course, you’ll have a firm grasp on Photoshop concepts that are applicable to almost every facet of using the application, including Web design, preparing photographic images for printing, and illustration.

• Create color swatches, gradients, and patterns, all of which can be saved and loaded in sets for convenience.
