Overview

Photoshop: Mastering Advanced Techniques with Brian Maffitt introduces viewers to techniques for texturing and lighting models using the 3D Panel, choosing appropriate scene settings and render presets, and creating photorealistic detail with bump maps. The chapters close with a look at 32-bit color space as an artistic tool, and managing bit-depth for export using Smart Objects.

This is a practical, project based series that will give viewers a new appreciation of some of Photoshop’s most creative tools. Viewers will gain a new appreciation for Smart Object workflow, Photoshop 3D, and 32-bit color space.
