Masters Academy

Learn to apply creative effects to your images using Photoshop’s filter menu. You’ll learn how to transform a photograph into a detailed oil painting, add a soft contrast treatment, perform sharpening using the high pass filter and much more. You’ll also see how to combine filters with other features in Photoshop such as smart objects, blending modes and layer masks. We’ll also demonstrate how to build up an effect using multiple filters and how to apply the same filter multiple times and mask the result to have precise control over which settings are used in different areas of an image.

Note: This lesson does not have a PDF companion guide available. We include PDFs with all new lessons and will add them to lessons in our archive as time permits.
