Level 2 is for the point where the basics stop being enough. You can already build a layered file and paint a mask, but hair against a busy background still leaves a fringe, composited elements still look pasted on, and a folder of two hundred product shots still gets resized one at a time. This course fixes those three problems in that order.
The first day is about control. You build masks from channels rather than by brushing at the edge, use Blend If to drop a subject into a scene without a halo, and move your whole file onto smart objects so that a Camera Raw setting, a filter or a resize stays editable a week later. You also build layer comps, so one document can show a client three versions of the same layout instead of three separate files.
The second day is about making composites believable and making production fast. You match colour, contrast and light direction between two photographs shot on different days, then paint the contact shadow and cast shadow that make an object sit on a surface rather than float above it. After that the class moves to automation: recording an action, running it across a folder with the Image Processor, exporting artboards at several sizes in one pass, and soft proofing a file against a printer profile before it leaves the studio.
Everything is taught on working files rather than clean stock: a portrait with flyaway hair, a product shot with the wrong background, a set of images that arrive in mixed sizes and have to go out as a consistent set. You keep the exercise files, the workbook and the class recording for twelve months. Classes run live online or in the classroom in Colombo, with pricing in LKR for Sri Lanka and USD elsewhere.
The techniques here extend the Adobe Certified Professional exam objectives introduced in Photoshop Level 1. If your goal is the exam itself, take Level 1 first, since that is the course built directly against the published domains.
