Teaches how to edit and modify images using software such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

Color Theory: Color Theory is the study and understanding of how colors interact with one another, and how they can be used to create aesthetically pleasing and harmonious compositions in architecture and design as well as in image manipulation.
File Types: File types refer to the specific formats and extensions used to store and organize digital images, designs, and architectural files.
Resolution: Resolution refers to the number of pixels or dots per inch in an image, indicating its level of detail and clarity.
Layers: Layers refer to the technique of composing or stacking multiple visual elements together to create complex compositions or modify existing images in architecture, design, and image manipulation.
Masking: Masking in the context of Architecture and Design and Image manipulation is the process of selectively hiding or revealing certain parts of an image or design using a masking tool or technique.
Filters: Filters in the context of Architecture and Design and Image manipulation refers to digital tools or techniques that alter the appearance or characteristics of an image by applying various visual effects, enhancing or modifying specific elements, or adjusting color attributes.
Adjustment layers: Adjustment layers refer to a non-destructive technique in image manipulation that allows users to apply and modify various adjustments, such as color, contrast, and exposure, independently from the original image.
Retouching: Retouching refers to the process of enhancing or altering an image to improve its overall appearance or remove imperfections.
Typography: Typography refers to the art and technique of arranging and designing visual elements, such as fonts, to communicate written language effectively and aesthetically in various forms of media.
Composition: Composition in the realm of Architecture and Design refers to the arrangement and placement of elements within a space or image to create a harmonious and visually pleasing result.
Vector vs Raster: Vector vs Raster: Vector refers to graphics made of geometric shapes that can be scaled infinitely without losing quality, while Raster refers to images made of pixels with fixed resolution.
Image Manipulation tools: Image Manipulation tools refer to software or applications used to edit or modify digital images, allowing for the enhancement, transformation, or modification of various visual elements.
Batch processing: Batch processing in the context of Architecture and Design and Image manipulation refers to executing a series of tasks or edits on multiple files simultaneously to automate repetitive actions and enhance efficiency.
Creating a storytelling image: Creating a storytelling image refers to the process of visually conveying a narrative or a compelling story through carefully chosen aesthetic elements, composition, and design techniques.
Special effects: Special effects refer to the artistic techniques and modifications employed in architecture, design, and image manipulation to create visually stunning and illusionary elements that enhance the overall aesthetic or convey a particular atmosphere.
Image resizing: Changing the dimensions of an image, making it either smaller or larger.
Image cropping: Removing unwanted parts of an image by trimming its edges or by highlighting the area to be retained.
Image rotation: Changing the orientation of an image by rotating it at different angles, usually by 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
Image flipping: Mirroring selected areas of an image, usually horizontally or vertically.
Image compositing: Merging two or more images into one, using different layers and blending modes to create new images.
Color correction: Enhancing, adjusting or modifying the colors of an image for artistic or corrective purposes.
Image filtering: Applying different image filters to an original image to generate artistic effects, vignettes, blur, sepia or other interesting features.
Image retouching: Editing digital images to remove imperfections such as blemishes, scars or wrinkles, among others.
Image restoration: Repairing damaged or old photographs, restoring them to their original condition.
Image stitching: Joining multiple photographs together to create panoramic images.
Image conversion: Converting images from one file format to another without losing quality, usually from RAW to JPEG, TIFF or PNG.
Image extraction: Extracting specific parts of an image, usually for image recognition or machine learning.
Image watermarking: Adding a text, logo or graphic that identifies the authorship, ownership or source of an image.
Image annotation: Adding captions or text overlays to an image to provide context, description or reference.
Image manipulation techniques: Advanced techniques such as frequency separation, compositing, and masking that require specific software and professional skills to achieve specific results.
"Image editing encompasses the processes of altering images, whether they are digital photographs, traditional photo-chemical photographs, or illustrations."
"Traditional analog image editing is known as photo retouching."
"Tools such as an airbrush are used to modify photographs or editing illustrations with any traditional art medium."
"Graphic software programs, which can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors, raster graphics editors, and 3D modelers, are the primary tools with which a user may manipulate, enhance, and transform images."
"Many image editing programs are also used to render or create computer art from scratch."
"The term 'image editing' usually refers only to the editing of 2D images, not 3D ones."
