In this series of Photoshop classes you’ll see the complete post production process for the Clinique-style advertising image that Karl shot (this is available in our Product section).

This first chapter focuses on creating the group shot. This involves layering and compositing the final images, cleaning up the background and base surface, removing water droplets and reducing the reflection in the base surface. To do this, Karl uses a variety of tools and techniques, demonstrating how to work with masks, use the clone stamp and brush tool and adjust highlights and contrast.

Class objectives:

  • Layering files in Photoshop – Demonstrate how to manually align images
  • Show how to recover highlight details
  • Demonstrate how to use the Clone Stamp tool
  • Show how to clean the background and base surface using the Clone and Brush tools
  • Show how to reduce reflections on a white surface
