What you'll learn
Photoshop is non-negotiable for anyone whose work involves images professionally. Photographers retouch in it. Designers composite in it. Social media managers prep visuals in it. E-commerce sellers clean product photos. Yet most 'Photoshop users' only use 10% of it. This certification proves you can do real Photoshop work. Covers interface and panels, layer fundamentals (styles, masks, smart objects), selection tools (Marquee, Lasso, Quick Selection, Object Selection), refining selections, color correction (Levels, Curves, Hue/Saturation), retouching (Spot Healing, Clone Stamp, Frequency Separation), compositing, typography, filters, Camera Raw, web export, print prep (CMYK, prepress), Smart Objects, actions for batch processing, and file formats. Capstone: produce production-ready output (retouching, compositing, digital imagery) from a brief.
