Using Layer Masks for Image Editing in Adobe Photoshop CS5: Learn by Video
with Tim Grey, Video2Brain
Overview
This innovative product uses interactive video to explain
what layer masking is and how to use it for advanced photo editing.
Users will learn how to mask sections of a photo automatically
using options in Adobe Photoshop CS5, as well as select areas to
mask manually. The video teaches how to create a panoramic photo by
combining photos, fill text with a photo, and combine (or
composite) photos to create a beautiful finished image. Learning to
use masks to edit just part of an image will allow users to
fine-tune their photos.
Experienced instructor Tim Grey presents more than 3 hours of
exceptional video tutorials, complete with lesson files, assessment
quizzes, and review materials. The video is wrapped in a unique
interface that allows the viewer to jump to any topic and also
bookmark individual sections for later review. The unique
Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow
the student to work alongside in Photoshop. Project files used in
the lessons are included on the disc so viewers can practice what
they've learned, and interactive review questions help reinforce
freshly gained knowledge.
