Photoshop CS5 for Video Editors

This unique workshop from veteran trainer Maxim Jago is specifically for video editors who want to become more comfortable working with Adobe Photoshop. Maybe you have opened Photoshop before, looked at all the panels and options, and shut it down right away. Or maybe you've learned to do the things you need to do, but without any systematic understanding of how Photoshop works. Either way, this course shows you how to make the most of what Photoshop has to offer, using language that speaks to video editors and examining features that relate to the video-editing workflow.

Topics include:

• Color modes, pixel shapes, and interlacing
• Working with prebuilt templates
• Understanding layers
• Using Smart Objects
• The alpha channel
• Working with video in Photoshop
• Using Photoshop documents in video editing applications
• Working with adjustment layers, text, and layer styles
• Color grading controls in Photoshop
• Using Vanishing Point and Photomerge
