Course Description

You are familiar with the Photoshop tools and techniques used to design and create images. Applying the correct image and color correction processes and techniques ensures that you get the desired output while printing images for commercial purposes. In this course, you will learn professional techniques for obtaining consistent, predictable, high quality images in Photoshop. You will learn to adopt a balanced approach, starting with system calibration through image enhancements and color correction. You will also create traditional printed effects such as duotones and spot color overlays.

Course Objective

You will identify two contrasting approaches to handling color images. You will begin by calibrating your monitor and using color management profiles to control the image display to match its intended output. Next, creating a crisp line art image, eliminating dust and scratches, suppressing moiré patterns, and correcting red eye defects will help you to make that picture perfect. You will apply color by the numbers approach—using curves adjustment layer—to eliminate color casts and maximize contrast in important regions of images. Finally, you will apply techniques for improving sharpness, converting color images to grayscale, and adding spot colors to images.
