Unfortunately, that's exactly where most people end their Photoshop journey-with a fundamental appreciation of the program and the ability to execute a few helpful techniques. But without a full understanding of and capability with layers and selections-arguably Photoshop's most powerful tools-you're leaving the vast majority of Photoshop's power and potential untapped.

In this book, you will: • Start off with a detailed breakdown of the Photoshop workspace and how best to set it up for your workflow • Learn everything you need to know to work like a pro with layers • Conquer selections and cutouts, whether you're working with the Magic Wand Tool, Quick Selection Tool, Pen Tool, Select Subject feature, Color Range feature, or Vector Masks • Dive into additional techniques to improve your skillset: color correction, composite blending, removing reddening in portraits, using Content Aware Fill to perfection, and more Finally, in the last chapter, Glyn works through a start-to-finish project that brings all of the concepts together to show how they work in a real-world scenario.
