A Practical Guide to Canvas Size and Image Size in Photoshop
In this class, you’ll learn the essential difference between Canvas Size and Image Size in Adobe Photoshop, and how to use each tool correctly and confidently. While these two options may seem similar, they serve very different purposes, and understanding when to use each one is key to working efficiently and maintaining image quality.
We’ll begin with Canvas Size, which controls the workspace around your image. Think of the canvas as the background or sheet of paper your image sits on. You’ll learn how to add or remove space without changing the image itself, making canvas size ideal for adding text, borders, or design elements, as well as for cropping and repositioning content.
Next, we’ll take a look at Image Size. This is the paint you put on your canvas. You’ll learn how pixel dimensions, resolution, and resampling work together, how enlarging or reducing an image affects sharpness and detail, and how to choose the correct settings for making great images. We’ll cover the key aspects working with image size resizing images, preserving quality and adjusting for specific size requirements.
Through guided examples and a variety of explanations, you’ll develop a strong understanding of when to use canvas size versus image size, allowing you to make informed, confident decisions that improve both your workflow and the quality of your final images in Photoshop..
What you’ll learn:

Printing in Photoshop 101

The “What’s Next” portion helps you understand how to keep learning Photoshop after this summit—without feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Welcome to Photoshop (aka The Photoshop Interface)

Using Photoshop is a kind of conversation. You “talk” by clicking and dragging; Photoshop “listens” and tries to do what you want. The language of this conversation is a collection of on-screen words and symbols that we know as the interface.

Like any language, the interface is a bit complex. Which is why Adobe has organized the interface into seven distinct parts: The Home screen, the central image window, the menus (which offer commands and dialog boxes), the panels (Layers, Properties, and so on), the vertical toolbox, the horizontal options bar, and the contextual task bar.

At first (as my description suggests), the interface may seem crazy complicated. As your skills improve, the interface becomes so deceptively familiar that many of us take it for granted.

This is your chance to take a fresh look at the Photoshop interface and understand how its distinct parts work together to anticipate your needs.

In this session, you will learn:

• How to switch in and out of the Home screen
• How to work menu commands and dialog boxes
• How to work with and organize panels
• How (and why) to save a workspace
• How to select and use tools in the image window
• How to work inside the tool-sensitive options bar
• How to take full advantage of the contextual task bar
• How the on-screen canvas works

Introducing Blend Modes

Photoshop’s Layers panel allows you to isolate image elements. This way you can modify, say, a person independently of its background. The more you use layers, the more your future self will thank you.

Near the top of the Layers panel (below the word “Kind”), you’ll see “Normal,” “Opacity,” and “Fill.” These are the blending options. And as their name suggests, they allow you to blend the active layer with the layers below.

Opacity and Fill are pretty straightforward. (Don’t worry, I’ll cover them both!) Normal is something different.

Click Normal to reveal a list of 26 blend modes, starting with Dissolve and ending with Luminosity. (Strictly speaking, Normal is not a blend mode; it is the same as turning the blend mode off.) Each blend mode creates a special interaction, one that you can change anytime you like.

It's tempting to imagine that you should master each and every blend mode. But as you’ll see, a few blend modes are more useful than the others. And these few modes are essential to your understanding of Photoshop.

In this session, you will learn:

• How to use the Opacity and Fill options
• How to preview a blend mode on-the-fly
• How and why the blend modes are organized into six groups
• How to use the primary three blend modes: Multiply, Screen, and Overlay
• How to use the secondary modes: Color and Luminosity
• What to do if a blend mode doesn’t quite meet your expectations

Working with Type

The very name “Photoshop” inspires many of us to imagine that its main purpose is to edit photographs. But it’s more accurate to think of Photoshop as an exceedingly flexible, still photography-based design program.

For example, let’s imagine that you want to integrate one or more photographs with type. That sounds like a job for Illustrator, right? Or maybe InDesign? Actually, it’s much easier and more efficient to stay inside Photoshop.

Type in Photoshop offers all the formatting options you might reasonably need. Type in Photoshop is forever editable, and scalable to meet the needs of even the most high-resolution images. Type in Photoshop can weave in and out of any and all photographic elements, whether objects, people, or hair.

In short, when you think “type + photographic artwork,” think Photoshop.

In this session, you will learn:

• The basics of using the Type tool
• How type scales automatically with an image, so it remains forever smooth
• The difference between point and paragraph text
• How to format type from the options bar
• How to use the Character and Paragraph panels
• The wonders of the Glyphs panel
• A few simple ways to mask type with hair
• What to do when type looks jagged

The Photoshop Orientation

A Photoshop Glossary: Demystifying “Photoshop Speak”

Have you ever felt that Photoshop has a language of its own––a language that includes important terms you’d like to understand better? Well, you’re not the only one. Most of us have run into terminology we didn’t fully understand at some point in our Photoshop learning curve. This class is designed to help you with that.

We’ve identified some terms that you need to know to become an effective Photoshop user, but that may not be completely clear on their face. In this user-friendly class you’ll learn what essential terms like masking really mean. You’ll see clear, practical examples that illustrate fundamental concepts like non-destructive editing. And you’ll get help decoding proprietary names of often-used features, like Blend modes and Smart Filters. Among the terms we’ll cover in this class are:

• Non-destructive editing
• Compositing
• Masking
• Blend modes
• Layer Effects
• Smart filters

These and other terms will be broken down for you so that you can feel comfortable using them yourself. By the end of this class, you’ll have a better understanding of fundamental Photoshop terminology, and you’ll be able to “speak Photoshop” with anyone.

Creating New Documents

The first step in many Photoshop workflows is to create a new blank document using the settings in the New Document window. It’s important for you to be able to work through those settings in an informed way whenever you want to start a project with a new document.

This class is an in-depth look at the settings and controls in the New Document window. We’ll walk you through those settings with practical examples for online and print workflows. The focus of the class will be on essential settings like image size, image resolution, and color mode.

You will learn:

• When to start with a new document, as opposed to an existing image;
• How to get started with a new document Preset;
• How to set the size and orientation of your new document;
• What Resolution means in the New Document window, and how to set the best Resolution for your document;
• What the Color Mode setting does, and which Color Mode to choose for your document;
• How to save your own new document Preset.

After taking this class, you’ll be more comfortable working in the New Document window, choosing settings that are best for your projects.

Choosing Colors

Color is at the heart of every project in Photoshop. Choosing a color to use is central to many Photoshop workflows, whether you’re painting, adding type, making shapes, designing a gradient background., and lots more. Photoshop offers more than one way to choose a color. This class is a deep dive into different ways you can choose colors in Photoshop.

In this session, you’ll learn essential ways to choose colors, along with some tips and tricks, including:

• How to use the settings in the Color Picker to choose colors, and what the Color Picker teaches us about the properties of color in Photoshop;
• How to choose and save colors in the Swatches panel;
• How to access a hidden color wheel in the Colors panel;
• The best tool for sampling a color that matches your image;
• How to quickly switch foreground and background colors.

By the end of this class, you should be able to confidently choose colors using a variety of color features in Photoshop.

Tackling the Toolbar: A No Sweat Guide to Making Sense of Photoshop’s Toolbox

Filters Without Fear — How and When to Use Photoshop Filters
Photoshop filters can feel like a mysterious grab bag of sliders, previews, and “what did I just do?” moments. In this session, we’re going to demystify filters and turn them into reliable, creative tools you’ll actually want to use — without wrecking your image or painting yourself into a corner.
We’ll start by breaking down what filters really are, where they live in Photoshop, and why some filters permanently change pixels while others give you flexibility and control. You’ll learn when filters are helpful, when they’re overkill, and how professionals use them subtly rather than destructively.
A major focus of this class is understanding Smart Filters — what makes them different, when to use them, and how they allow you to edit, mask, and fine-tune your effects long after you’ve applied them. If you’ve ever wondered why experienced users almost never apply filters directly to a layer, this class will make that click.
What you’ll learn:

By the end, filters will feel less like a gamble — and more like a creative advantage.

Open Sesame! — Every Way to Get Images Into Photoshop (Without Losing Your Mind)
Before you can edit an image, you have to get it into Photoshop — and surprisingly, there are a lot of ways to do that. Some are obvious, some are hidden, and some can cause real confusion if your system settings aren’t playing nicely. In this foundational session, we’ll walk through every common method of opening images and explain when (and why) you’d choose one over another.
We’ll start with the basics, including File > Open, drag-and-drop, and double-clicking files from your computer. Then we’ll tackle one of the most common beginner frustrations: file association problems — when images open in the “wrong” app or refuse to open in Photoshop at all.
From there, we’ll briefly explore how Adobe Bridge and Lightroom fit into the workflow, why many photographers use them as gateways into Photoshop, and how they differ in purpose (without stepping on the sessions dedicated to them).
What you’ll learn:

By the end of this class, getting images into Photoshop will feel effortless — not like the first obstacle of the day.

Crop It Like It’s Hot — Mastering Cropping for Composition, Size, and Sanity
Cropping isn’t just about trimming the edges — it’s one of the most powerful ways to improve composition, storytelling, and final output. In this class, we’ll take a deep dive into Photoshop’s cropping tools and options so you can crop with confidence instead of guesswork.
We’ll explore the Crop Tool in detail, including its settings, overlays, aspect ratios, and non-destructive options. You’ll learn how to straighten images, lock proportions, and use visual guides to make better composition decisions. We’ll also cover how cropping fits into different goals — whether you’re preparing images for print, social media, or web use.
Beyond the Crop Tool itself, we’ll look at Image > Crop, cropping based on selections, and how Photoshop treats resolution and canvas size during the process. Understanding these differences helps prevent accidental quality loss and ensures your images are sized correctly for their final destination.
What you’ll learn:

Hidden Power, Big Impact: Gradients & Patterns in Photoshop
Gradients and patterns are two of the most powerful “foundation” tools in Photoshop—because they instantly add depth, style, and polish without needing advanced skills. In this beginner-friendly session, you’ll learn how to build clean, modern gradients, work with pattern fills the right way (hello, non-destructive!), and combine both to create backgrounds, textures, and design elements you can reuse again and again. Expect simple steps, lots of visual payoff, and a workflow you’ll actually remember.

What you’ll learn

• How to create smooth, professional gradients (and avoid the “muddy” or banded look)

• The difference between Gradient Fill, Gradient Tool, and Gradient Maps—and when to use each

• How to use Pattern Fill Layers for fast, non-destructive textures and backgrounds

• How to scale, rotate, and update patterns without degrading quality (and keep edits flexible)

• Simple “power combos”: blending modes + opacity + masks to make gradients and patterns feel dimensional and intentional
   

Saving your Work

Saving your work in Photoshop can feel confusing at first, but understanding it early will save you time, stress, and lost files. This session focuses on the essentials of saving, helping you make smart choices about file formats, versions, and image quality from the very start. You’ll learn not just which buttons to click, but why different saving options exist and when to use them. Whether you’re designing for print, web, or social media, this session gives you a clear foundation you can build on as your skills grow. By the end, you’ll feel confident that your work is saved correctly, efficiently, and ready for whatever comes next.

· you will learn the difference between Save, Save As, and Save a Copy, and when each one matters

· you will learn how common file formats like PSD, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF are used and what they’re best for

· you will learn how to avoid common beginner mistakes that can permanently flatten or degrade your images

From Average to Awesome

This is a practical, confidence-building session designed to show how much improvement is possible with the right adjustments and a clear process. Starting with an ordinary, slightly disappointing photograph you’ll learn how to thoughtfully transform it into a stronger, more polished image. Rather than relying on presets or gimmicks, the session emphasizes understanding and control, helping you see what an image needs and how to fix it step by step. You’ll explore how small, intentional changes can dramatically improve clarity, color, and impact, while still keeping the photo natural and believable. The techniques shown are broadly applicable, so you can use them on travel photos, portraits, landscapes, or everyday images. By the end of the session, you’ll not only have a better photo, but a repeatable workflow you can apply to any image that feels “almost, but not quite right.”

· you will learn how to crop and reframe an image to strengthen composition and focus attention

· you will learn how to remove visual distractions and clean up problem areas without overediting

· you will learn how to use color, tone, and sharpening together to add depth, contrast, and clarity

Sharpening

Sharpening is an often misunderstood step. This course breaks down what sharpening really is, what it is not, and how to use it in a controlled, intentional way. Rather than chasing a “crisp” look that can quickly turn harsh or noisy, you’ll learn how sharpening works at a technical and visual level. The session focuses on perceived sharpness, helping you understand how sharpening interacts with resolution, viewing distance, and output. You’ll also see why sharpening cannot fix poor focus or motion blur, and how to avoid common mistakes that permanently damage image quality. By the end of the course, sharpening will feel less like guesswork and more like a deliberate finishing step that enhances your image without calling attention to itself.

· you will learn what sharpening actually does to an image, and why it’s different from increasing contrast

· you will learn when to apply sharpening in your workflow

· you will learn how to apply sharpening selectively so important details stand out without introducing halos or noise

Working with Panels

The Photoshop interface is highly customizable, allowing you to choose which panels are visible versus hidden, and how those panels are arranged within the larger interface. This makes it possible for you to tailor the panel configuration to your specific needs, including creating and saving custom configurations for specific tasks. There are literally dozens of panels available, most of which you'll probably never need. But there are also panels that can be tremendously helpful for particular tasks. By creating a saved workspace with the panels you want available at various stages of your workflow, you can activate a saved workspace at any time. This class will show you how to leverage the full power of panel configuration in Photoshop.

You'll learn:

• How to reveal the panels that are most helpful to you, and hide those you don't need
• The various options for positioning and docking panels to reduce clutter and improve efficiency
• Options for saving and resetting saved workspaces for specific panel configurations

Important Keyboard Shortcuts

Photoshop is an incredibly powerful and complex application, enabling an incredible range of adjustments and creative effects that can help you realize your vision for any image. Taking full advantage of the many features of Photoshop can benefit from leveraging keyboard shortcuts. In fact, within Photoshop there are a pretty good number of hidden features that involve a keyboard shortcut to access, and that are otherwise virtually impossible to discover on your own. In this class, you'll learn about some of the most helpful keyboard shortcuts to take advantage of in Photoshop, and strategies for discovering helpful features and choosing which shortcuts to commit to memory and which you may not need.

You'll learn:

• The power of modifier keys such as Shift and Alt/Option, and how these keys can unlock otherwise hidden features that can improve your workflow
• How to discover all the main keyboard shortcuts available in Photoshop
• Tips for choosing which keyboard shortcuts are worth memorizing, and how to access features without using keyboard shortcuts

Removing Distractions

Blemishes and distractions in a photo can distract from the key subject in the photo and significantly reduce the perceived quality of an image. You may have noticed, for example, that once you notice a distraction in an image you have difficulty pulling your attention away to focus on the key subject. It is difficult to enjoy an image of a beautiful sunset if there are power lines going across the middle of the scene. In this class you'll learn powerful techniques for easily removing dust spots, blemishes, distractions, and other unwanted elements from your images. From simple tools and cropping to more powerful features that leverage AI, you'll learn how to eliminate distractions from your images with ease.

You'll learn:

• The power of a simple crop to remove blemishes at the edges of an image
• One-click techniques for removing simple blemishes such as dust spots
