# Adobe Photoshop Bootcamp Canonical URL: ## Overview This 3-day bootcamp will take you from novice to power user. You'll learn to use Photoshop to retouch and color correct photos, combine images, prepare graphics for print/web, and much more! You’ll get started with the basics and then move on to more intermediate features. You'll feel confident using masks, tools, and channels, creating vector drawings, automating hundreds of repetitive image tasks, producing consistent color for print, creating artistic interpretations of pictures using filters, and tackling advanced corrections of digital photos. Photoshop is much more than a photograph editing program. Learn how to create digital graphics for social media, websites, and apps. Edit many photos at once or create detailed digital drawings and even 3D artwork. Use a variety of tools including paint brushes, textures, and filters. Throughout this course, you’ll work on a wide variety of projects. You will adjust color and contrast, remove unwanted elements from photos, make selections to work with specific parts of an image, take part of one photo and put it into another, as well as save images in the proper file formats. You’ll learn about layers, masks, paths, filters, type, and more. By the end of day 3, you'll have designed an entire brochure. ## What you'll learn - Learn to retouch photos & create graphics - Improve your images by adjusting color, brightness, & contrast - Use selections to work with a specific part of an image - Prepare images for use on the web or in print - Make updates easier by using adjustment layers - Remove backgrounds using layer masks & clipping paths - Sharpen photos - Create visual effects with filters, shadows, bevels, blend modes, and much more ## Curriculum ### Section 1 #### Getting Started - Zooming - Scrolling - Getting around - Tools - Copying & pasting #### Photo Retouching - Spot Healing Brush - Content-Aware Fill #### Cropping Photos - Cropping Photos - Straightening Photos - Straightening a Layer #### Creating Graphics: Combining Photos, Text, & Graphics - Adding Type - Smart Objects - Importing Vector Graphics (Such as Logos) - Type Anti-Aliasing ### Section 2 #### Replacing Backgrounds - Select Subject - Select and Mask - Image compositing #### Blend Modes & Opacity - Blend Modes - Opacity - Placing & Editing Smart Objects #### Color Correction Using Color Balance - Creating adjustment layers for color correction - Adjusting color balance - Adjusting brightness/contrast #### Color Correction Using Curves - Color correction with a Curves adjustment layer - Adjusting brightness and contrast with Curves - Setting white, black, & mid points #### Preparing Digital Photos for Print - Viewing/setting image size - Resampling pros & cons - Saving as PSD - Saving as TIFF #### Exporting Files for Web/Digital - Resizing images for the web/digital - Reducing image size with resampling - Exporting an optimized JPEG - Exporting a transparent PNG ### Section 3 #### Sharpening Photos - The Smart Sharpen filter - Sharpening photos for digital & print #### The Liquify Filter & Intro to Smart Filters - Smart Objects & Smart Filters - The Liquify Filter: Facial Features - Editing the Smart Filter: Using Liquify to Push Pixels #### Layer Masking - Creating a Mask - Adjusting a Mask by Painting On It #### Masking Smart Filters - Object Selection - Using & Masking Smart Filters ### Section 4 #### Converting to Black & White & Lens Correction - Converting to Black & White - Bringing back color in a specific area - Removing Lens Distortion #### Placing Your Designs in Pre-made Mockups - Placing Your Design into a Mockup - Customizing the Mockup #### Adjustment Layers & Masks - More Curves practice - Masking out unwanted adjustments - Organizing layers into groups #### Retouching - Healing Brush with Rotation - Content-Aware Fill - Patch Tool ### Section 5 #### Changing Color With a Blending Mode - Change the color of an object - Using the Color Blend Mode #### Clipping Masks: Filling Shapes with Images - Masking a graphic with a shape/type - Clipping masks - Adding a Drop Shadow #### Using Adjustment Layers as Clipping Masks - Adjusting the color/brightness/contrast of specific areas in an image - Using Adjustment Layers with Clipping Masks #### Camera Raw Fundamentals - Opening & editing RAW files #### Camera Raw as a Filter - Applying Camera Raw as a Non-Destructive Smart Filter - Using Dehaze - Masking in Camera Raw ### Section 6 #### Batch Actions & the Image Processor - Creating & running actions - Batch processing files - The Image Processor script - Adobe Bridge #### Photoshop for Design: Adding a Title & Layer Styles - Creating a File with Photo & Text - Adding Effects: Stroke & Outer Glow - Fill vs. Opacity - Editing a Gradient & Saving a Gradient Preset for Later Use #### Photoshop for Design: Creating Digital Art in Photoshop - Vector shapes - Brush Settings #### Photoshop for Design: Compositing into a Photo - Distorting & warping a graphic onto a photo to create a mockup - Adding texture & shading ## Schedule - Oct 18, 2026 – Nov 1, 2026 — NYC - Oct 26, 2026 – Oct 28, 2026 — NYC - Dec 7, 2026 – Dec 9, 2026 — NYC - Jan 11, 2027 – Jan 13, 2027 — NYC - Jan 31, 2027 – Feb 21, 2027 — NYC - Feb 2, 2027 – Feb 18, 2027 — NYC - Feb 23, 2027 – Feb 25, 2027 — NYC - Apr 5, 2027 – Apr 7, 2027 — NYC - May 23, 2027 – Jun 13, 2027 — NYC - May 24, 2027 – May 26, 2027 — NYC - Jun 28, 2027 – Jun 30, 2027 — NYC - Aug 16, 2027 – Aug 18, 2027 — NYC - Sep 14, 2027 – Sep 16, 2027 — NYC ## FAQ ### Is this course open to beginners?
