  • Render exposed lightbulbs so they glow

ABOUT BEN’S CLASS:

Shooting at night is a challenging situation that often produces noisy images that lack detail. Capturing images during the daytime and then adjusting them to appear as if they were captured at night gets around the limitations of night time shooting. This is a standard process used in movies and TV shows and now you can learn how to accomplish the same effect on your still images in Photoshop.

  • Someone who wants to learn to create custom color lookup tables that can be applied to video in real-time
