Fundamentals of Photography
John Greengo
Get ready to master the hottest new Adobe® Photoshop® image-editing tool. Join award-winning photographer and Adobe Photoshop expert Jack Davis for an introduction to Adobe Camera Raw.
Drawing on his Adobe Photoshop expertise Jack will demystify Adobe Camera Raw (available both as a filter within Adobe Photosho® and an application within the Bridge application). You’ll learn about using Adobe Camera Raw as a flexible image-polishing tool that enhances your photographs in less time.
You’ll also learn about sophisticated retouching techniques from eye and teeth enhancement to skin color unifying. Jack will also cover creating special effects like high key black and whites, selective hand tinting, cross-processing, and changing depth of field.
Whether you’re an Adobe Photoshop beginner or a long-time user, you’ll leave this course with the tools needed to easily create jaw-dropping images with less effort.
Software Used: Adobe Photoshop CC 14.1
If Jack Davis is capable of one thing, it's keeping you interested. He wants you to be creative and lets you think out of the box. This is the course which changed how I process images in many different ways. I'd really like an updated course on the same subject with Jack, as ACR has evolved since the class has been made, please...
This was the first class on CreativeLive that I viewed from start to finish. Knowing the power that resides within ACR turns what used to be a very simple stepping stone (for me) between Bridge to Photoshop into a streamlining work-flow power house! After watching this, I was able to edit an entire high school senior's session in record time, which translated into not just more free time, but a significant increase in profitability.
This was the most comprehensive class on ACR that I've taken. Jack is a great teacher as well as entertaining. His approach was thorough, going through not only tools and their associated panels in ACR but touching on organization in Bridge and in the last few sessions, going through some things in Photoshop that ACR can't do. My mind is blown and I have a much better understanding of everything that can be done in ACR. I was pretty excited to get Jack's presets for ACR as well as most of his images with the purchase of this class. When you open up snapshots of Jack's images, all the settings are there so you get a real feel for where you can take your own images. Thoroughly enjoyed this class and consider it money well spent.
Jack Davis is my favorite Creative Live instructor, and this 3-day Camera RAW series is just amazing. I learned so much that I can apply to my own work. I shoot photos for field ID guides, and conditions are not always optimal, and the things I learned about working with RAW images really made a difference when I'm working on processing images. Thanks, Jack (and thanks, Creative Live for offering these great classes)!
I just watched this class for the second time, I am so thankful I bought it. This course teaches so much about the sliders and what they are actually trying to achieve when you move the sliders. Understanding the concepts Jack teaches is saving me a great deal of time. And, I find Jack Davis to be quite witty and entertaining while he's teaching, which never hurts. :)
This class is wonderful. It is amazing how much more you can do in camera raw than photoshop. I highly recommend this class!
'WOW Presets' zip file worked just fine for me as did the 'Follow Along Images' zip file. And the course is excellent. Well worth the price. Thanks!
Great course! Adobe Camera Raw was always part of my regular workflow; however, it wasn't until participating in this class did I truly understand how powerful of a tool it is. Thanks!
