“If you can imagine something,” says Tim Grey, “you can probably create it in Photoshop.” In this one of-a-kind workshop Tim puts his money where his mouth is by sharing his favorite techniques for using Photoshop’s effects and filters to create imaginative, out-of-the-ordinary images. He starts with simple things like black-and-white interpretations, monochromatic tints, vignettes, and film grain, then moves on to more dramatic effects like Surface Blur, Tilt-Shift Blur, Oil Paint. From there you’ll head into “wild territory” as Tim explores some experimental ways to stylize and distort your images.
