  • Open, save (the different export formats), reduce,
  • enlarge, select, crop, rotate and distort
  • move and transform selections,
  • multiple selections, crop, use layers.
  • Use correction filters.
  • Simple contrast and brightness corrections

COLORS AND TRANSPARENCY

  • The different chromatic correction tools, level curves
  • Color replacements, coloring, choice of colors, saturations, corrections of dominants, transparency on layer or applied to color, printable colors, creating gradients, working in duotone, etc.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE APPLICATIONS

  • Adjustment layers, layer and vector masks, Effects (fx), dynamic objects and clipping masks.

FORMATTING AND EDITING

  • Standard text functions:
  • (paragraph formatting, size, line spacing, letter spacing, etc.)
  • text coloring, distortion and pixelation.
  • Configure the grid, use the marks, the ruler, the magnetism,
  • Object alignments,…
  • Import EPS (Illustrator), use filters and layer styles
  • Selection and clipping tools (magic wand, lasso, magnetic lasso, shape selection)
  • Retouching tools
  • Use layer masks (auto, manual creation, movement and modification, retouching masks).
  • Interpose adjustment layers, association of layers, create an export mask.
  • Creation and export of paths (advanced pen manipulation), import of vectors (creation of vectorized symbols), creation of vector masks
  • Automation actions (scripts, photo album, etc.).
  • Raw Development
