If you're already a Photoshop user and want to learn techniques that will enable you to go even further, this course is for you!
Photomontage generally begins with the selection of one or more elements of an image (clipping), and you'll learn to master the techniques that enable you to make very precise selections. As each image has its own specific characteristics, you'll learn to use the appropriate tools accordingly.
The following points, which are not an exhaustive list, will be discussed:
- Selection tools (polygonal lasso, pen, color range, etc.)
- Techniques for refining a selection
- Alpha layers, for certain complex selections such as very fine elements (e.g. hair)
As a photomontage is generally the assembly of several elements from different images, the important thing is that the final result is photo-realistic. As colorimetry, for example, can vary from one image to another, you'll need to make the necessary adjustments to obtain a balanced result. During the course, you'll learn how to balance the various elements.
Finally, a number of tips are explained. They will help you improve your productivity.

The quality of Photoshop's selection tools is impressive once you've mastered them. They offer a wide variety of options for selecting and isolating specific parts of an image, whether by manual selection, color range, use of masks or edge detection.
Clipping is also very precise, allowing complex elements to be separated from backgrounds with great accuracy. This feature is extremely useful for photo montages, integrating elements into a new scene or even simply creating attractive visual effects.
David uses and teaches all its selection and clipping functions to achieve impeccable results, guaranteeing high quality and total mastery of their visual compositions. It's an essential tool for any artist or designer wishing to achieve professional, creative image retouching. Its use is therefore essential.

I am a very advanced Photoshop user but I have seen David so some amazing things with selections. So I bought this course and was delighted with all the things he taught me. He is a terrific teacher and what he taught me I am already using in my work. I highly recommend this course and David as a teacher.

after taking 2 courses with David, I'm starting on photomontage and the different selection techniques. Bluffing, David always listening and patient (I'm not a PS expert), and available even after the course has been given (advice if you're stuck, an opinion on the work ...), and what a pleasure it is to be able to endlessly redo the courses or parts of courses to practice, thanks to the video. I highly recommend it. Thanks David, there's still a lot to learn.

It's just what I needed.
I used to have a dread every time I wanted to crop a sky, an object or vegetation, but after today's course, my fear of messing up is gone!
Thank you David for recommending this course to me, I didn't know what was the best tool to get a perfect crop, but in the end there are several depending on the situation and the need.
This course is essential for anyone wishing to do artistic and creative photography, it offers multiple tools and methods to achieve this, especially with the clear explanations and concrete examples that David puts in my hands to fully understand and assimilate every movement and every action, I now feel more skilled and even "smarter".
I really recommend this course without hesitation, it changes your life.
Thanks again and again David, I'm on cloud nine.

This is my second Photoshop course with David, and I don't regret it. Clipping is certainly a "basic" element, but it's essential for successful photomontages, and one that can leave us perplexed when faced with the multitude of tools offered by Photoshop.
In terms of form, David carries out an exercise to demonstrate the interest of the tool, and the learner then carries out the exercise to make sure he understands how to use it, with the help of the "chef" if necessary. And the icing on the cake is that, after the course, we receive videos of each method used.
Clipping tools obviously depend on the situation, and David offers different and complementary exercises in this course, which have enabled me to go one step further in this field. I'd like to thank him very much for this and recommend the course to anyone who is demanding and wants to progress in this field.

After taking the black and white architecture course with David, I was immediately won over by his generosity and his desire to share his knowledge. I had only one thing in mind: to take the technical photomontage course, and like the first time, I wasn't disappointed - quite the contrary. Training with David allows you to progress in leaps and bounds. What's also great about David is that just because the course is over doesn't mean it's over. He still takes time out afterwards to follow you up and answer any questions you may have. I can only give you one piece of advice: if you want to progress, now's the time to book a course with him. See you soon.

David was able to provide personalized support and teaching methods that enabled me to make rapid progress towards my goal. The tools used made it easy to work together, sharing a screen. In short, a very pleasant session, relaxed but serious as I like it. Thanks again David!

My second photoshop course with David and once again I'm very satisfied, the contract is fulfilled with a thorough overview of clipping techniques. In addition to the instructor's pedagogy and kindness (as well as his talent as a photographer), the Skype course is a real plus compared to other offers on the market, as the course is necessarily interactive and can be personalized.

This is my second course with David, I started with the black and white course, very instructive, I recommend it.
With this photomontage course I've broadened my knowledge, it's incredible what I've been able to learn in three hours.
Even though I've been using Photoshop for 5 years, I'm still expanding my knowledge.
Thank you David for your kindness, your advice and your patience.
I'll be taking another course very soon.

Having used Photoshop for many years, the problem of clipping has remained a problem in its own right for me, despite the numerous tutorials I've received on the subject. If you're demanding in terms of results, you soon realize that it's a real headache... After a first course on b&w with David, I quickly understood that precise cropping was required to obtain quality images. So I decided to take the Photomontage course. After 3h++ of an extremely rich course, the results are amazing! From twigs and foliage to fine details on buildings, anything is now possible! Some of the (many) methods used by David were totally unknown to me, and nowhere to be found on the Net.
And that's not counting the convivial time spent in his company. His teaching skills, his competence, his kindness and his generosity are unquestionable!
Thank you so much David for the quality of your contribution, and see you soon!
