Poetic Image Post-production in Photoshop

You will start by learning about Carol's work and her career in the world of photography and post-production. You will discover what her main references are, not only in the field of photography but also in other artistic areas such as literature or cinema.

You will learn key concepts and tools to get started. First, you will go into the highlights and shadows, then the histogram, and finally you will see the brightness settings in Adobe Camera Raw. Finally, you will do a series of exercises where you will apply everything learned.

Next, you will delve into the uses of color and chromatic aspects. Carol will show you examples of photographers and painters who make good use of this resource and will introduce you to the color wheel. You will see how to apply color adjustments in Camera Raw and you will do a series of exercises.

At this point, the post-production part of your essay’s assembly will have arrived. You will do a briefing to work on your images and analyze how to get the desired result with Camera Raw. Carol will teach you how to use layer masks and other Photoshop-specific settings.

Finally, you will see how to save a file that is still in process and another that is already finished to print it or, publish on websites and social networks. To conclude and assimilate everything you learned in the course, Carol will explain photographer Lívia Aquino’s process, from her initial briefing to the final essay.
