 About the Course
This session will cover the steps, from start to finish, for the creation of images from scratch. Bert will share the techniques he uses in the creation of his photo-realistic images. Paths for shapes, filters for textures, layers for effects, all will be combined to attain final images that will ask the question - "is it real or is it Photoshop?"
Bert will go into detail on features like the Paint Engine that is one of the most powerful new features in Photoshop 7, and which was updated even more in Photoshop CS. Bert will take you through the processes for creating brushes to produce anything your imagination can conjure up. You will learn how to create specialized brushes to tackle a myriad of problems that arise in retouching and image creation.
 The ability to bend things on a curve has been one of the most asked for features, yet it has always been there. Bert will demonstrate the use of the Displace filter to make controlled, fluid distortions. The Liquify filter will also be explored for distortion effects. Distorting with the Transform function will be explored for perspective matching and the creation of realistic reflections.
Alpha channels, one of the most important yet underused functions of computer graphics, will be demystified. They will be applied to achieve effects that would normally require tons of extra work.
If you are involved, in any way, in the production of images for whatever purpose, this is a must-attend class.
