The second in Pacific New Media's three-part series of Photoshop Courses with Sean Duggan, This course focuses on essential Photoshop concepts and techniques for creating accurate selections, alpha channels, and layer masks for precision control in the modification of photographs. Masks can be used in a variety of situations for many different tasks including contrast and color correction masks for photographs and intricate masks for compositing multiple images together. In many cases, the beginnings of a mask are already present in your photograph; you just need to know where to look for it and how to modify it to suit your purposes. This class is an excellent companion to Duggan`s Creatve Collage workshop.
