AI Photo Editing
Edit, enhance, and generate images with AI tools. 8 hands-on lessons covering Photoshop, Lightroom, free editors, AI generation, and photo restoration.
Remember when removing a background meant 45 minutes of careful masking in Photoshop? Now it takes one click. AI has changed photo editing from a specialized skill into something anyone can do — if you know which tools to reach for and how to use them well.
This course covers the full spectrum: retouching, background removal, object removal, upscaling, image generation from text, and old photo restoration. You’ll work with both paid tools (Photoshop, Lightroom) and free alternatives, so budget isn’t a barrier.
You’ll start with the simplest AI editing techniques — one-click tools that produce instant results — then build up to more advanced workflows. You’ll learn which tool fits which job (hint: the best tool for background removal isn’t the same one that’s best for retouching), how to write prompts that generate the images you actually want, and how to restore damaged old photographs using a multi-tool pipeline.
Lesson 7 covers the legal and ethical side: what you can and can’t do commercially with AI-edited and AI-generated images.
