Review of Photoshop Tools and Techniques

Basic Editing

• crop to 8x10 or 10x8 > using the Rule of Thirds grid to avoid "Bull's-eye" compositions 
• black and white (using Image > Adjustments)
• brightness/contrast (using Image > Adjustments)
• levels (using Image > Adjustments)
• curves (using Image > Adjustments)
• exposure (using Image > Adjustments)
• burn
• dodge

Adjustment Layers

• adjustment layers (for each Image > Adjustment)
• using masking (painting with black/white) to be selective 
• choose only the most appropriate areas to apply adjustment 
• NOTE: when using these, it is best to flatten the image afterwards (Image > Flatten Image)

Filters - duplicate Background layer each time!

• Correct for Clarity/Blurriness: Filter > Stylize > Emboss 
• Correct for Clutter/ Create Differential Focus: Filter > Gaussian Blur; then erase areas to make them clear once more (also known as Depth of Field)
• NOTE: when using these, it is best to flatten the image afterwards (Image > Flatten Image)

Advanced Editing Tools

• Shadow/Highlight: to correct for flash or poor exposure (make sure to Show More Options)
