What you'll learn
In this Photoshop course, we will learn how to process our photography using Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop. Throughout these lessons we will extensively cover the tools and techniques we can use on our raw images to process them into a final product. Along the way we will look at how these tools are utilized to drive more fundamental concepts such as composition and color theory. This course will primarily aim to address any issues that commonly occur with images, then applying our desired look or grade before outputting our final results. By the end of this training, you will have a greater understanding of the post production process of raw images and will help inform you about what you should be looking out for next time you wish to take a photograph. Software required: Adobe Bridge CS6, Adobe Photoshop CS6, Adobe Camera Raw 7.3.
