Photoshop 2.0: The Modern Photographer’s Editing Toolkit

Triolo, Kathy – Morning Star

Take your editing to the next level with a practical, photographer-focused workshop that shows how today’s Photoshop tools—both traditional and AI-powered—can dramatically improve your images with less work. This session is designed for Photoshop users who have a basic understanding of how to work in Photoshop and want faster, cleaner, more intuitive ways to solve everyday editing challenges.

We won’t be building fantasy composites or creating scenes from thin air. Instead, we’ll focus on the real issues photographers face every day—tricky lighting, distracting elements, lackluster skies, uneven skin tones, tight framing—and how to fix them beautifully and efficiently.

You’ll learn how to blend essential Photoshop skills with powerful modern features like Generative Fill, Remove, Relight Subject, and AI-guided selections to create photo-realistic results that feel natural and polished. Along the way, you’ll compare the “old way” and the “new way,” giving you a clear look at how these tools can streamline your workflow and help you spend more time shooting and less time fighting layers.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to enhance natural light, deepen mood, or add subtle shafts of light for dramatic atmosphere
  • Smart, believable lighting fixes for portraits—without endless manual dodging and burning
  • Quick ways to remove unwanted people, objects, power lines, and distractions
  • How to expand a composition or rebuild missing areas with realistic texture and tone
  • Better skies, cleaner backgrounds, more depth, and more balanced color
  • When to combine classic Photoshop tools with AI tools for the best results
  • Practical prompts and adjustments that keep your edits natural, not artificial
