(Everything listed below can be done in Photoshop® Elements
OR Adobe® Photoshop®)

Discover the versatility of Layer Masks

Adobe Photoshop lets you apply layer masks so you can to do some fantastic things with your photos and scrapbook pages.

Photoshop Elements isn’t supposed to have the ability to create layer masks, but I’ll teach you a little-known trick that reveals the power of layer masks hidden in Elements so you can do exactly the same thing as the much more expensive full version of Photoshop.

If you want to advance to a pro level of digital scrapbooking, layer masking is one of those “can’t-do-without” skills! In Volume 2 you’ll learn three essential masking techniques that will allow you to:

Spot of Color

• Turn a photo into black and white and paint back in a spot of color
• Fix only the part of your photo that needs adjusting
• Put your photo inside shapes or type
• Create elegant, soft-edged vignettes
• Design intricate collages
• And much more

Watch me create
a collage from these three snapshots with the help of layer masks!

Learn techniques for fixing your photos

Why settle for a second-rate photo when so many imperfections can be easily fixed in Photoshop? You’ll learn the four steps I apply to every photo I plan to frame or put in a scrapbook, plus you’ll learn how to fix common problems like

• Red eye
• Bad lighting
• Distracting elements
• Undesirable color shift
• Glasses glare
• Dust and scratches
• Harsh shadows
• And more!

Even if you already have some knowledge of fixing photos, you’ll be amazed at the many tips and tricks that will make your job easier and improve your workflow in other areas of Photoshop!

Harness the power of blend modes

Expand your practical and artistic abilities with blend modes, one of the least utilized tools in Photoshop. Watch as I use blend modes to:
• Turn an “unusable” photograph into a great page embellishment
• Give studio quality lighting to an ordinary snapshot
• Help remove dust and specks from a scanned photo

• Simulate a lovely watercolor painting
• Remove the gray out of hair
• And more!

You asked for it and I listened!

Several customers said it would be helpful to have a printable manual of the steps for each project, so that’s what I’ve done. Besides including all the photos I use so you can follow along, I’ve included a PDF manual with all the written steps for each lesson, making it easy for you to duplicate what I do!
