Lab B Overview
Overview
In Lab B, you will learn some intermediate functions within Adobe Photoshop; to include how to: duplicate an image's layers, add a new layer to an image, select an area of an image for manipulation, and manipulate both a selected area of an image as well as the entire image by using Photoshop's built-in adjustments. The knowledge of using layers and adjustments will be beneficial when you are working on your own photos in Photoshop as you will know how to make adjustments to an image while preserving the original image for future use.
