Photoshop CC - Drawing, Selection, And Layers

This course will review image editing capabilities for modifying and touching up photos, and will help readers understand resolution and size for posting on the web or creating artwork. Selection of "raster images" is a big part of the course and will be explained in detail. Also, since the use of layers will help to isolate different elements of an image, the course will explain the effects of layers to blur a background which will highlight clearer images such as people, etc. This program is designed for aspiring graphic designers, photographers, or anyone who has a need to touch-up and fix photos. Note: The documentation supports both Adobe Suite CS6 (Version 11) and Adobe Suite CC (Version 12.)
