In this hands-on session (both camera and laptop) you'll create a movie poster from start to finish. We'll start with a photo shoot, taking photos specifically with Adobe Photoshop in mind. Then we'll go through a complete design process from extracting the model from a green screen background to compositing several images together to adding type and special effects.

His class is for anyone who has ever taken an image and the focus was a wee bit "off." Or tried to photograph a waterfall, and no matter what, the image was a little too soft.

This class is also about a new way of thinking about your images, as well as a new way of seeing and creating.

All photos are about light and lighting. Available light, strobe light, ambient light, studio light, it's all about being able to see and control light. Some days the lighting gods smile upon you and kiss your photos with a glorious light and some days the lighting gods frown and you end up babbling in a corner, mumbling to yourself. This session is about seeing the light, understanding light, and controlling it to make the light do and look the way you want. It doesn't matter if it's artificial strobe light or natural available light like the sun, the principles of light are the same.

Jack will show in this lecture, how moving your feet a little bit can drastically change the light and look of your photos, no matter if you are using the sun or a strobe. He will discuss how where you place your light in relationship to your subject can make a huge difference in how the light reacts with your subject. A few feet can mean the difference between just another portrait and an award-winning photo.

When Dan demonstrated his latest blending moves, which aren't in any of his books, audiences at previous Photoshop Worlds were flabbergasted at the speed at which drab outdoor originals could be transformed into astonishingly vivid, yet realistic, final images. Only half a dozen basic moves are illustrated here, but you'll be shocked at the results.

Note: these two advanced sessions (Part 1 and 2) assume that attendees have a basic understanding of 1) LAB channel structure and 2) the function of layer masks.

Explore the various ways of fixing truly terrible color in your images, including a non-destructive way to use Variations and the Shadow/Highlight adjustment in Adobe Photoshop. You'll also learn how to use blend modes to lighten or darken your images in certain areas, how to zap a stubborn color cast, several ways to master a Levels adjustment, and tips for using Curves. Last but not least, you'll learn a solution for fixing the unfixable!

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Camera Raw popularized two color correction options, temperature and tint. And yet, despite their unrivaled utility (if you only had two options, these would be the ones) temperature and tint exist nowhere inside the larger world of Photoshop. Nowhere in RGB, that is. But when you switch to LAB, you enter a world in which temperature and tint are everything and everywhere. Better still, you can re-saturate colors with a degree of simplicity and control that neither Lightroom nor Camera Raw possess. LAB is scientific... LAB is even controversial... but it's also great. Here's LAB the practical way.
