There are two things about Photoshop you need to master to take your work to the next level: selections and masks. You use selections in most of the work in Photoshop. Do you need to cut out the object, make smooth edges, compose things into your image? You will more likely need selections to do such a task. On the other hand, if you want to change a background, you'll probably want to learn how to use masks. This course will show you basic tools to do simple tasks and then move on to more advanced concepts and techniques so you can work with shadows, highlights, contrasts, and more.
