From powerful shortcuts to precise masking, this course will help you see Photoshop CC's adjustment layers and blend modes in a whole new light. Rich Harrington leads a workshop that unlocks some of the least used options for these powerful features. Learn how to use adjustment layers and blend modes to colorize images, convert photos to black and white, add style, and fix color and tone issues—all completely nondestructively. Rich also explores your "auto" options, lookup tables, gradient maps, and Smart Objects, and shows how to limit your adjustments when you want to achieve a more subtle effect.

Topics include:

* Improving color and contrast with Auto Curves and Auto Levels

* Creating custom black-and-white effects

* Using a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to recolor artwork

* Expert color grading with color lookup tables

* Using gradient maps

* Making nondestructive adjustments with Smart Objects and stack modes
