Adobe Training Description
You are familiar with the Photoshop tools and techniques that are used to design and create images. Applying the correct image and color correction process and techniques ensures that you get the desired output while printing images for commercial purposes. In this course, you will learn professional techniques for obtaining consistent, predictable, high quality images from Photoshop. You will learn a balanced approach, starting with system calibration, through the scanning process, image enhancements, and color correction. You will also create traditional printed effects such as duotones and spot color overlays.
Adobe Training Objective
You will identify two contrasting approaches to handling color images. You will calibrate your monitor, and use color management profiles to control the image display in Photoshop and for printing. You will also create a crisp line art image and eliminate dust and scratches, suppress moiré patterns, and correct red eye defects. You will apply a color by the numbers approach using curves adjustment layers to eliminate color casts and maximize the contrast in important regions of images. Finally, you will apply techniques for improving sharpness, convert color images to grayscale, and add spot colors to images.
