Photoshop moved at a pretty steady pace for its first three and a half decades, but things have really sped up with today's AI tools. In this session we'll explore how to make the most of the new AI features that can save you serious time and let you tackle things that used to be nearly impossible, while also learning when it's smarter to step back and use traditional techniques instead to keep everything looking natural. We'll work through practical areas like retouching, color grading and correction, selective adjustments, and improving the flow of fabrics that were captured in a less than ideal way. The focus is building the right mindset so you can quickly recognize when AI will boost your efficiency and quality versus when it risks making the work feel unnatural, resulting in a smooth workflow that delivers polished, professional results that read as thoughtful art every time.
