Transform Your Images Using Extensions
Sometimes, to achieve the perfect composition, we have to extend our images. In this class, Simon Raible will help you master transforming, liquefying, rendering, illustrating, Content-Aware and vanishing point techniques using Adobe® Photoshop®, which are valuable not only for extension exercises but innumerable other photo manipulation challenges as well. You’ll learn how extending tasks can be prioritized from large to small to best economize your time, and you’ll discover several professional-level techniques to feather your artwork in problem areas.
SOFTWARE USED: Adobe Photoshop CC 2018
I dug his class. As you can see by my Posted student work, I extrapolated a bit. But it was Simon's tips that made the difference.
Simon is just awesome!
Fantastic course. Great teacher. Learned new skills that I never even knew were out there. More tools for my toolbox. Great job Simon and CreativeLive.
This was an excellent class. This is NOT for beginners - Simon assumes you know most of the tools and techniques to get around PS but he shows you how to use the tools to get these extensions done. The Cityscape Extension is just amazing. I learned so much in just that one 20 minute class. Simon is fun to watch and the class is definitely worth the time and money.
Simon Peter is funny and this class is fun. Lots of goodies. He moves fast, this is definitely not for beginners. I'm sure I'll watch it several times.
I LOVE this class! Let me preface this by saying that it's not for beginners. IMO you should be at least intermediate-advanced to keep up with the fact that the instructor assumes you understand how layers, channels and shortcuts work. Having said that, he's a fantastic educator. As someone else mentioned, it's refreshing to see someone who is teaching exactly what the course name promises, he doesn't hold back and he doesn't try to sell 3rd party products. It was interesting to learn how he goes about his edits considering there's 1000 ways to do one thing in Photoshop. I would love for Creative Live to give Simon a full course on advanced Photoshop techniques since he's funny and clearly knows his craft. For the price of this course, I highly recommend it!
Dude, I really like this instructor's style! He is funny, he explains what he does, doesn't spends time selling his own business, like many instructors do here on Creative Live. The class itself is right on point, explaining how to use the various tools to create way bigger scenes from scenes you already got, but maybe they are not big enough to fulfill your needs. The use I saw in this class is, for example, when you do a big panorama, and somehow part of it is missing, then you can complete it with examples presented here. Also, recommended for making posters, or big wallpapers. If I understood correctly, the attached files contains step by step instructions how to achieve exactly what he does, which are handy for practicing. He is definitely one of my favorite instructors from Photoshop 2018.
After the incredible value of his Business of Professional Photo Retouching class, I was itching to gain some hands-on Photoshop instruction from Simon Peter Raible in this class. I honestly don't think I've ever had more "wow!" moments or learned more immediately useful techniques in my many years of watching CreativeLive courses than in this class. I've immediately been able to do things I'd never known in 15 years of using Photoshop. Simon is also such a laid-back, relaxed instructor it's a pleasure to learn from him. An absolutely must-watch course.
Good class with project based demonstrations. I like how it was split up between sky, water, foliage and architecture to show the different methods and challenges with extending each one. I liked how the instructor thought ahead to speed up his work with actions and preplanning markups. I definitely learned some good tips from this that I'll be applying to my own work.
Great class. Tons of information and detailed step by step instruction that anyone can follow. The bonus material provides additional sample to practice with. Love it!
