Photoshop CS5

About a month ago, Adobe released Creative Suite 5. In that suite, is of course the one and only Photoshop. And so, I am currently enrolled in a 2 week summer course, of every day 5 hour lectures about the new photoshop cs5 and all the new features that it has. I am taking the course with the most amazing photography professor on the planet. Well, that's of course my opinion, but he really is amazing. He has quite the reputation, and has traveled the world giving these photoshop seminars.

I just finished week one and had an absolute blast. It has definitely been demanding, especially with the 5 hours of computer work and lectures, but it has been worth it. The new photoshop has new tools that have content awareness that allows you to literally take a brush tool, and paint over a wrinkle, pimple, or mark on someones face, and it will completely make it disappear.

He has also taught us how to use adobe bridge, and the 6.1 camera raw that comes along with adobe cs5. It is amazing. It allows you to do the basic editing with your photographs, before you import it into photoshop.

Here are some of the before and afters that I worked on this week.
