Advanced: Compositing & Masking in Photoshop with Dennis Dunbar

In this workshop, Dennis will share some of his favorite pro techniques for creating eye-catching composite images—whether you’re combining a bunch of different elements or giving one shot a total makeover. He’ll cover the usual challenges like masking, color correction, blending, and getting the noise or grain to match perfectly. You’ll learn different ways to create clean, accurate masks and how to make sure they’re working right. Dennis will also walk you through color correction with curves, using clipping groups to simplify your layers, and blending everything together smoothly with tips like matching depth of field, color, and texture. By the end, you’ll have the tools to make all your elements look like they belong together!

We’re excited to announce a special raffle during the event! 🎉 One lucky attendee will win a 12-month Adobe Creative Cloud subscription! Raffle tickets are available for $5 each or 3 for $10—every ticket is an entry to win.
