Video2Brain: Freistellen in Photoshop – Power-Workshops: schnell, flexibel, kreativ (Video-Training auf DVD mit Bonusmagazin + Tutorial to go: Mit Videos für iPod, iPhone & Co)
Bildteile auswaehlen und unerwuenschter Hintergruende austauschen sind das A und O jeder kreativen Fotobearbeitung. In diesem Video-Training zeigt Ihnen Olaf Giermann einen gut sortierten Werkzeugkasten aus praktischen und brandaktuellen Freistelltechniken, den er sich in langen Photoshop-Naechten zusammengestellt und optimiert hat! Wenn das Freistellen einzelner Haare oder von Fell fuer Sie ein « haariges » Problem ist, wenn Sie geschwungene Kanten Klick-fuer-Klick mit Lasso oder Radierer freistellen oder wenn Sie das Gefuehl haben, dass Ihre Freistelltechniken viel zu langsam oder ungenau sind – dann sind Sie hier genau richtig! Extra: Die 6 Gesetze einer glaubwuerdigen Fotomontage erfahren Sie im Bonusmagazin!
Mit « Freistellen » bezeichnet man das Entfernen unerwuenschter Hintergruende und das genaue Auswaehlen von Bildbereichen. Und das ist immer ein Kompromiss zwischen der Qualitaet und der Zeit, die man fuer diese Qualitaet aufwenden muss. Gerade, wenn Sie Photoshop professionell einsetzen, zaehlt jede Minute.
