## Overview

Adobe Photoshop Bootcamp covers the photo editing, retouching, and compositing workflows that professional designers rely on every day. You work through selections, layer masks, adjustment layers, blend modes, Smart Objects, filters, and Camera Raw, plus the AI-powered Generative Fill and Generative Expand features that now sit at the center of production retouching. Each technique is introduced on a real image rather than in isolation, so you learn when to reach for a tool as well as how it works.

The projects mirror the work designers are actually asked to do: removing unwanted elements from a photograph, replacing a background, correcting color and contrast, building social graphics, and placing artwork into a product mockup. Everything is built non-destructively, so your files stay editable and revisions cost minutes instead of hours. You finish with a portfolio-ready composite that pulls the advanced techniques together into a single polished piece.
