Learn by Doing

Complete Photo Edit 1: Ana

Follow the complete start-to-finish edit for this portrait shot of our subject, Ana, in Malta. Working on this image, you will have a chance to see color harmonies in action — we will color grade the portrait with complementary hues. Together we’ll create a soft, feminine mood with seamless luminosity adjustments and subtle “matt” finish.

Complete Photo Edit 2: Lauri

Apply your newly gained skills and use precise masks based on luminosity ranges to create a subtle mood and add a sense of depth to this image of our subject, Lauri. You’ll add impact by extending the luminosity range and increasing the contrast in the image with the Curves and Histogram tools. We’ll also use the “Selective Color” tool to fine tune the color for a stunning finished product.

“Kasia Zmokla is a very gifted teacher and educator. the course is build up perfectly and she always repeat the important stuff again and again. She is working very logically with the pictures and explain why and how she will proceed. Her understanding of photoshop is high so she can explain complicated task in a simple way for everybody to understand. Working with luminosity mask is a powerful tool and I can't wait to start practise on my own work. Only cons, I can say about this is that there are a little to many word. please take a little longer breaks between sentence, vary your tone of voice and maybe cut back on repeating everything. Thank you for your great educating - it is a pleasure to follow your courses”
