    Photoshop Layers and Masks, the Key to Creativity.<\/h1>\n

    Learn how to use the creative tools that are critical to Photoshop; Layers, Layer Masks, Blending Modes and ore. Layers are the control center for almost everything you do in Photoshop. Layer features can appear complex and confusing. In these practical and fun lessons, you will realize that Layers and Masks don\u2019t have to be difficult.<\/p>\n

    Rather than merely listing off features, we present real-world projects where we will put all these features to use. As you work your way through the inspiring projects, you\u2019ll learn all the features, but more importantly, you\u2019ll learn where and how to use these techniques, as well as why.<\/p>\n

    If you are new to Photoshop, the first few lessons will explain the basics, so you don\u2019t get lost when we dive into the projects. If you already know these basics, feel free to jump right into the projects. The lessons can be viewed in any order.<\/p>\n

    By the end of this training, you will be very comfortable working with Photoshop layers, layer masks, blending modes, adjustment layers, smart objects, clipping groups and a whole lot more. You will learn how to combine images and blend them together seamlessly. If you have ever wanted to create collages, web graphics, magazine art, brochures, posters, NFTs, or just cool art for fun, this is the place.<\/p>\n

    What sets this training apart, is the almost 30 years of Real-World experience your instructor, (Colin Smith) has from working as a commercial Photoshop artist\/Designer. You have probably seen his work in magazines, album covers, ads, billboards, websites and more. Colin is the real deal, but he also loves to teach, and paces the content in a way that you can follow along and understand. These is no gibberish jargon here, just practical, conversational instruction.<\/p>\n

    This course will help you to understand how to approach creative tasks in Photoshop with confidence. You will be happy with the results. You\u2019ll learn how to get the highest quality results in a fraction of the time.<\/p>\n
