Photoshop’s filters are incredibly powerful and useful, but there’s a trick to using them safely. In this 90-minute session you’ll learn how to use them non-destructively to produce a gorgeous shallow depth of field and tilt-shift effect, how to create a painting and hide the effect from portions of your image, how to use the Liquify filter to push a portrait's pixels into perfection, how to add motion for visual interest, and control where the viewer’s eye enters your photo by using Camera Raw’s Radial filter. This session is key for anyone who wants to get the most out of Photoshop.
