PIXEL PERFECT: Transforming Images with Photoshop

Content Overview

introduction

Loading Photoshop for the first time can feel overwhelming. Every great edit begins with the same fundamentals though: understanding the interface, navigating the workspace, and wielding core tools with intention.

Enhancing everyday images

Everyday photographs rarely emerge from the camera looking their best. This section arms you with techniques that fix common flaws, quickly and non-destructively. 

Photo Retouching and Repair

Photoshop’s most fundamental role is as a repair, retouching and restoration tool. This chapter will walk you through core tools and workflows to help you correct, restore, and refine your images with precision.

graphic objects and type in images

Vectors, type, and smart layers are how you add crisp, scalable graphics to pixel-based images. You’ll combine Typography and Vector Objects along with detailed examinations of key Photoshop tools.

Shifting perspectives

Perspective is the invisible grid that makes two-dimensional images feel three-dimensional. In this chapter you’ll learn how to diagnose and correct misaligned horizons, bend building façades back into shape, and integrate new objects so they sit naturally within a scene.

Recolour Your World

Learn to correct, enhance, and creatively control colour non-destructively – transforming Photoshop’s tools into reliable workflows for matching tones, boosting vibrancy, and crafting images that tell richer visual stories.
