In this lesson, I work on a challenge image that was submitted by a member. It's an overly dark shot of a hummingbird that needs to be brightened, have noise reduction applied and then have the background removed. One of the challenges with this image is that the wings of the bird are semi-transparent. In the process of working this image, you'll learn about Adobe Camera Raw, Select>Focus Area, Select & Mask, Levels and much more.Please submit your own challenge images here.The downloadable practice images for this lesson have been compressed into a .ZIP file. That means you'll have to double-click on the file to extract its contents after downloading before you'll be able to open the images in Photoshop.
NOTE: Some Windows users have reported issues accessing the video playback controls. While we're working on the issue, here's a Temporary Workaround: Click "Introduction" in the table of contents to the right of the video and then immediately click within the video to give it focus. After doing so, use the spacebar to play/pause the video and the left/right arrow keys to scrub forward or backward within the video.
