Prepare images with correct bleed, trim and safe zones for print and for app overlays

Retouch non-destructively and check rights and consent before publishing an image
Deliver and self-assess a finished print file and social media image with a quality checklist
About this course
In this advanced capstone, Pixel from Team Creativity shows you how to turn one photo into two professional results: a print-ready file for a printer and a web-ready image for social media. You will plan the job, protect your original, and work from one layered master file instead of editing exports again and again.
You bring together everything a careful image maker needs: pixels for screens and ppi for paper, RGB and CMYK in plain language, colour profiles and soft proofing, bleed and safe zones, file formats and compression, non-destructive retouching, and the basic questions about image rights and permission.
The final module is your own project. You follow a concrete step-by-step plan, deliver a print file and a social media image from the same master, and assess your work with a detailed quality checklist.
