After completing this course, students will know how to:
- Add colors to the Swatches palette; apply colors to selections and as fill layers; apply patterns and gradients; use the Preset Manager to save presets; and apply colors and gradients by using overlay layer styles.
- Paint in Quick Mask mode and in an alpha channel to specify a selection; create layer masks to hide layer content; create grayscale masks to partially mask part of an image; and use a clipping mask to conform one layer to the shape of another.
- Use the path tools and commands to create and edit vector paths; use paths to create vector masks and clipping paths; convert type to paths and wrap type along a path; and use paths to create vector-based artwork.
- Use painting tools, filters, and blending modes to simulate different media; warp text and layers; group layers and create Smart Objects; edit images by using the Vanishing Point filter; apply Smart Filters and mask Smart Filter effects; and create layer comps.
- Use the Actions palette to record, play, and edit actions; display actions as buttons and organize actions into action sets; use actions to batch-process images; and customize keyboard shortcuts and menus.
