In a nutshell Photoshop is the tool for improving

2

how images look by removing unwanted details

3

from them, improving their colours, exposure,

4

contrast, sharpness and overall look. But

5

it doesnt stop there, as you can also combine

6

images creating seamless compositions and

7

even add animations, videos or 3D objects

8

into your designs.

Photoshop is the flagship product of Adobe

10

and has been for a long time. Its popularity

11

comes from its unbelievable image manipulation

12

techniques and effects and its versatility

13

that made it the industry standard tool in

14

most creative fields. To mention but a few

15

areas where most professionals would Photoshop

16

as their primary tool: photography, photo

17

retouching, photo manipulation, digital art,

18

concept art, game design, poster design, graphic

19

design, user interface design, web design

20

and 3D texture design.

21

Photoshop is one of the few applications that

22

has a big fan base and is actually part of

23

popular culture. Its name is part of our everyday

24

dictionary when we talk about something out-of-this-world

25

or unbelievable. As a term Photoshop can also

26

have a negative connotation as something being

27

fake or unrealistic. Thanks to Photoshop you

28

can never be sure when you look at an image

29

whether you see a real photograph or a manipulated

30

digital creation.

31

In this course we are going to start from

32

36

journey, that will be challenging but fun
