Decription
Photoshop CS4: Smart Objects explores the creation and use of Smart Objects, one of the most technically demanding tools in Photoshop. Deke McClelland walks through the four primary purposes of Smart Objects, and focuses on one of their most practical advantages, non-destructive transformations. This feature allows any object to be manipulated in any way, while still maintaining its original pixel information. Finally, Deke shows how to crop compositions without affecting a single pixel, even in masks. Exercise files accompany this course.

Download Deke's customized keyboard layouts and color settings for Photoshop from the Exercise Files tab.
Topics include:

* Preparing a composition for masking
* Manually adjusting problematic edges in a composition
* Combining layer effects and adjustment layers
* Roughing in a polygonal mask
* Cloning a super-massive Smart Object
* Applying Variations as a Smart Filter

In Photoshop CS4: Layer Masks in Depth, senior trainer and photographer Jan Kabili takes an in-depth look at using layer masks to create professional-looking image composites and make targeted photo corrections. Jan examines some common situations in which layer masks are the key to creating convincing image composites. She demonstrates practical ways to enhance photos with layer masking, including masking adjustment layers and Smart Filters to affect part of a photo. She explains how to use layer masks to combine different exposures of the same scene, and teaches how to work with vector masks to achieve a clean, graphic look. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:

* Adding grayscale pixels to layer masks to hide and show layer content
* Refining the edges of layer masks in the Refine Mask dialog box
* Using filters and adjustments to manipulate layer masks
* Blending photographs into composites by applying gradients to layer masks
* Using layer masks with Smart Objects and Adobe Camera Raw to combine different adjustments of the same photo
* Simulating shallow depth of field and targeting sharpening with Smart Filter masks
