1.1 Introduction

Hello, and welcome to "Introduction to Photo Manipulation in Adobe Photoshop". I'm Abbey Esparza, and I fell in love with photo manipulation and compositing over ten years ago, usually playing with themes in the dark and surreal genre. However, today, we'll be putting together a fantasy-themed composite, ancient ruins, monstrous moons, and all. This course will cover all aspects of photo compositing, including how to composite both landscapes and subjects, such as statues of people, packed with everything from lighting and shading, blending, and of course, a slew of other tiny little special effects that will help to give your composites at detail and story. So make sure and watch it through till the very end, so you don't miss a thing. Enough talking, let's go into our very first video, setting up a Photoshop workspace. This is "Introduction to Photo Manipulation in Adobe Photoshop".
