Mastering Adobe Photoshop 2024

Making Photoshop Work Harder and Smarter

We all discover Photoshop differently, often learning about tools and features that are relevant to our needs. However, this can lead to knowledge gaps that may hold your skills back. Part 1 of this book, Raising Your Photoshop Game, will focus on essential skills and building upon them, starting with Chapter 1, which establishes a streamlined interface and tools setup.

First, we’ll look at significant updates and new features to arrive in recent versions of Photoshop. Easy to miss, updates can pass you by, often installed automatically without being discovered. You could be missing out on valuable time-saving enhancements to your workflow. From sharing files on the cloud to edit along with others and receiving feedback on live projects to the web browser version of Photoshop (beta) and restoration filters, you can get a feel for the latest changes.

Then, we’ll customize the interface, modifying panels and tools so that they’re easier to locate, putting the most effective features front and center in your interface while keeping less frequently used features just a mouse click away. We’ll reorder the Tools panel, stripping away redundant tools in place for your favored go-to, high-impact tools, and set up keyboard shortcuts that make little-known features easy to activate or modify a tool with ease.

Then, we’ll finish with a little digital imaging 101 to ensure you’ve got a clear understanding of key industry terminology. Having an appreciation of how images are composed will make the process of deconstructing them and enhancing them easier to comprehend while avoiding common mistakes.

As with many concepts in this book, the first chapter focuses on attaining the best possible quality from the outset while leveraging time-saving techniques whenever possible, essential for today’s busy digital image editors. In this chapter, we’ll cover the following topics:

  • Updates and new features
  • Creating a bespoke workspace
  • Modifying preferences
  • Quality-first approach

Description

Unlock the full potential of Photoshop, the go-to app for content creators, by mastering its complex tools and features. This book, drawing from the award-winning author’s 25+ years of design experience, builds on your existing Photoshop knowledge with proven industry techniques, serving as a launchpad to develop professional skills and transformative personal growth. You’ll fine-tune color and tone in your images with non-destructive adjustment layers and conceal content like backdrops with precise masking techniques for fine details like hair. Working through a series of real-world editing projects, crafting realistic brand mockups and traditional marketing collateral, you’ll learn robust methods for building social media assets in Photoshop, from images to animated GIFs and videos. You’ll also be able to bring your typography to life with styles and effects that are simple to edit and store as preset effects. The final section of the book encapsulates all of your learning to create complex montages using advanced masking and compositing techniques. You’ll have fun elevating your designs with surreal art styles and conceptual imagery using retouching, blending, and liquify filters. By the end of this Adobe Photoshop book, you’ll be equipped to create captivating visuals that leave a lasting impression on your audience.

I was sent this book for review and the first thing that struck me was that it was one of the few Photoshop books I've read that is genuinely aimed at people with some existing familiarity of the software, and has a more commercially-useful focus around the exercises and examples than some that I've read.As anyone that has ever used Photoshop knows, the software is capable and useful in many different scenarios and industries, and this book does a good job of reflecting that. I've been using the software for years and like most users I have my specialist area of use, and so it's great to go through exercises and techniques that are used in other areas of post-work and pick up tips and approaches that I can utilise in my own workflow.Another point touched upon is Photoshop updates, and some really good explanations of the latest big ones. It's not always easy keeping your awareness up to date with the latest updates, so it's great to have these covered here.All in all, I'm very happy that after 20+ years of using the software there are still things to learn and still ways to improve my workflows and techniques, and very happy that these lessons are all in one place. I'll be referencing this one for a while.

This book is extremely thorough in walking you through the fundamentals of setting up your space, resolution and tool bar functions to more advanced tutorials to bring your images and artwork to life. Each chapter takes you step-by-step with accompanying images to support you. The book is structured in clear sections, which will be great to dip in and out of when I need to return to it. As a Graphic Design Lecturer, this is going to be a fantastic resource to help my students to advance their skills! The different tasks included are enjoyable to do and the skills you learn, will take your image editing skills to another level. Thoroughly recommend!

i am just so thrilled to have this book. It has really helped me in my continual learning of Photoshop. Being an educator and trying to ensure that my students keep on top of the lastest skills is so important to me. Thanks for the whole book but ,my personal favourite section is the masking section. Learning to use this masking tool have also helped me to understand the link when masking in Premiere Pro. Again thanks.
