What\u2019s the most important Photoshop skill you should learn?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Masking<\/strong>. Hands down. No question about it.<\/h2>\n

Let’s say you want to change the color of a shirt. What\u2019s the best method for selecting objects in your photograph? Magic this or Magnetic that? Sure, automated tools such as this will make the change, but they\u2019ll also cause your picture to look fake and amateurish.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t put yourself through this. In my two-hour Photoshop Masking tutorial, you\u2019ll learn how professionals properly create masks, as well as which skills work best in a wide variety of situations.<\/p>\n

In general, we\u2019ll cover following the topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
3rd Party Tools
\nSelection Tools
\nBrush Palette
\nQuickmask
\nColor Range
\nReplacing the Sky<\/td>\n		Alpha Channels
\nVector Masking
\nType Masking
\nRefine Edge
\nMasking Groups<\/td>\n		Hair Cutout Using Refine Edge
\nHair Cutout Using Channels

A Whole Lot, for Very Little<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now you\u2019re probably thinking, \u201cWow. That sure looks like a lot of material!\u201d That\u2019s<\/strong> because<\/strong> it is<\/strong>. But most importantly, I won\u2019t simply throw a bunch of information at you and call it a day. Instead, I\u2019ll show you how to actually use these tools<\/strong> in order to achieve the best results<\/strong>. We\u2019ll start out simple with the Selections Tools, and slowly increase the complexity over the next hour. And before you know it, we\u2019ll be working on more advanced, professional-level masking techniques.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the truth<\/u>: When I started working on this Photoshop Masking Tutorial, I had no idea how large of a topic it was going to turn into. Every time I thought about what needed to be included, I realized there were more and more topics I needed to cover. I was amazed by how involved everything became.<\/p>\n

But the end result is this: I\u2019ll help you develop the skills you need to effectively manipulate images in ways that you never dreamed possible<\/strong><\/p>\n
