Learn to Create Photo Collages and Composites with Photoshop
Making photo collages (combining parts of multiple images into one) and composites (think diptychs and triptychs) can be an exciting way to extend your creative practice, but some of this you can’t do with Lightroom. With Photoshop, we’ll explore tools you’ll need to combine multiple images into one — including layers, different ways to select and cut parts of images, masking for hiding and revealing, how to resize and transform, and some retouching tools to enhance your images. Weekly assignments will help you feel comfortable navigating Photoshop and using the tools you need for your creative workflow. This class will begin with an overview of the Photoshop interface and settings, and is designed for those who are new to Photoshop, as well as students who want a refresher in these processes.
