AFTER THIS CLASS YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

• Get a brief introduction to After Effects (from a Photoshop perspective)
• Work non-destructively with linked layered Photoshop files
• Seamlessly remove elements from a 360º photo
• Create adjustments without causing a ‘seam’ in the final composite
• Introduce 2D artwork (including logos) without distortion
• Add special effects including a sunrise and sky replacement

ABOUT CHRIS' CLASS:

As 360º photos continue to grow in popularity, especially in social media and hospitality industries, the next logical step is to begin editing and enhancing these images just as you do with traditional photography. The challenge is, however, that these are not flat images. As images are “unwrapped” in photo editing tools, we need to use alternate workflows for editing and compositing these types of photos.

This course will show you a step-by-step, non-destructive process, for masking out your tripod, applying 2-dimensional artwork, retouching, and color adjustments, as well as adding special effects to your image.
