The guide shows you how step-by-step from start to finish.
The Guide is both an online guide for viewing on larger screens in the comfort of your home, and a downloadable eBook for mobile devises and offline viewing.
Introduction
Introduces the image I select for the editing. I use an image that will need quite some work to demonstrate all the steps and techniques needed. Using a perfect image would be too easy. I give my thoughts on what ‘Fine Art’ images are.
Gear & Shooting
Tips for gear you will need, how to shoot long exposures, how to work out exposure time and composition.
Photoshop Workspace
Never used Photoshop or intimidated by it? I explain the Workspace, how to set it up and where to find Tools, and even give tips on setting up keyboard Shortcuts to make the editing faster.
Editing with Photoshop
Complete editing from start to finish. You will learn how to edit the sky, water and horizon, how to add contrast and how to fix issues. You will learn how to make Selection, why they are useful, how to create and use Masks, the power of using Layers and many other tools in Photoshop. You will even learn how to use Luminosity Masks and why they are useful.
You will also learn quick ways to create borders for your images to present them to the world, and how to create a template for consistency. I explain Actions and how you can use them to speed up repetitive tasks.
