Photoshop continues to undergo radical changes. Ever since Adobe introduced their artificial intelligence routines to Photoshop, eLearning professionals have been able to use "magic" to do what used to only be done by professional graphic designers. They make editing images amazingly easy, if you know about these features. Many eLearning professionals may quickly learn the basics of a tool. However, there are tools, routines, plug-ins, filters, and extras that can save you a lot of time and money.

In this hands-on session you will download some sample files to start learning about the new features of Photoshop. We will start with the new Sky Replacement. We will look at the new way of selecting a subject and refining the hair selection. We will also look at a new way of modifying a person from stock images using the new Neural Filters. Another new feature is the Live Shapes that includes a shape that has been missing for many decades. There will also be a lesson on how to take a 2-D graphic and convert it into a 3-D object. You will also create a time-saving feature using Actions and then apply that action to multiple images using Batch processing. You will also learn how to best optimize your content for both web and mobile devices. This is really important for the professional delivery of your eLearning.

In this session, you will learn:

• How to replace the background with a new background
• To use a variety of selection methods depending on the subject
