Digital Photo Editing Techniques

Description

Photo enhancement, manipulation + AI-powered techniques in Adobe Photoshop

For digital scrapbooking, memory keeping, photo storytelling, and digital collage art.

Your photos are the heart of your pages, so make them shine 🙂

In this class, you’ll learn all my favorite photo techniques in a simple, repeatable photo workflow.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “My photo is good… but it’s not popping.”

• “The colors are dull or off, and I don’t know how to fix it.”

• “My photos are not fitting together quite how I would like them to.”

• “I want an easier, simpler way to create image extractions.”

You’re in the right place. 💛

• Improve photos quickly using contrast + color tools

FAQ

Do I need Adobe Photoshop?

This class is demonstrated and documented using Adobe Photoshop, and the techniques shown are Photoshop-specific. While many of the concepts and approaches do translate to Photoshop Elements, some tools or features may not be available in every version.

That said, PSE enthusiasts will be interested in the technique application to memory-keeping pages—especially the varied approaches for placing extractions and using them with frames and blendable clipping masks in your pages. If you’re a seasoned scrapbooker using a newer version of Photoshop Elements, you’ll likely be able to follow along and adapt the techniques with confidence.
