Colour fundamentals for photo editing
You won't ever be frustrated again editing photos when you grasp these colour fundamentals.
Description
In this course you will learn the fundamentals of colour that underpins digital photo editing, from how colour is formed and defined to how to measure and manipulate it effectively to save time making drastic improvements easily, using free or professional software.
In this course freely available photo editing software will be provided for practical purposes in case you do not have access to software such as Photoshop, Paintshop Pro etc., although the fundamentals are not linked to any particular software.
You will be surprised how many otherwise useless digital images can be rescued or given a second life if you understand how to read colour channel information off a histogram and identify what information is still usable of the image to repair, modify or improve it.
I will also share my favourite free stock photo and image sources on the internet and provide ample practical examples to experiment with in each lecture to ensure you get hands on experience to cement in your newly acquired knowledge.
