Selections are at the heart of powerful Photoshop editing—whether you're isolating a subject, replacing a background, or applying targeted adjustments. In this in-depth online course, you’ll learn how to create, refine, and manage selections with confidence and control.
Starting with the fundamentals, you’ll explore what selections are and how Photoshop defines an active selection. You’ll gain hands-on experience with the essential selection tools—like the Marquee, Lasso, and Magnetic Lasso—and learn the “math” behind combining selections to work more efficiently.
The course then moves into advanced territory, covering powerful tools like Color Range, Focus Area, and automatic selections such as Sky and Subject. You’ll learn how to refine your selections with precision using edge detection modes and global refinements.
Beyond just making selections, this course shows you how to save and load selections as masks, use the Channels panel, and master essential keyboard shortcuts. You’ll finish with a deep understanding of how to apply edits using both direct selections and layer masks, allowing for non-destructive, professional-level control.
