He covers a number of different techniques, including using channels and blend mode tricks for easy masking. You’ll learn how to match tone and color and finishing moves that pull it all together.

Join Photoshop master Corey Barker and learn how to take your 3D skills to the next level! In this class Corey takes you through all of the steps involved in three different projects that showcase some of what you can do in 3D. Starting with a logo project that was originally done two dimensionally, Corey shows how it can be done in 3D as well as what the benefits are of having the logo as a 3D object. From there Corey steps you through a project designed to show you how to create a product in 3D and then place it in an environment that looks just like a product photograph. The final project takes things a step further with a demonstration of how you can merge 3D objects with photographic elements to create a composite image with incredible realism. This class has something for illustrators, designers, and photographers, and will leave you wanting to dig in and see what you can do in your own work.
