Advanced Selecting: Density Masks & the Pen Tool

One full day or two evenings of training.

In Photoshop, knowing how to make excellent selections is an indispensable skill. In this workshop you will learn the tricks

It’s easy to silhouette a product and drop it onto a new background. (At least it will be once you have mastered the pen tool!) But what about silhouetting a person with crazy hair? That’s where you really need to draw on all the tricks of the trade. In this workshop you will learn the easiest ways to create complicated selections, and in the process will get comfortable using alpha channels, as well as finally mastering the pen tool (if you haven’t already)!
