Course Description
Featured Review:
"This course is a very thorough and informative lecture on Adobe Photoshop CC. There's a detailed section on Layers, which I think is a very important concept in Photoshop editing and a must for anyone interested in using this tool. Sandy describes the various selections in the menu bar and the different functions available in the toolbar. This is a great resource indeed. Sandy did another fantastic job with this lesson. :)"

Are you a photographer who is looking to learn Photoshop, but doesn't know where to start (or there is too much confusing info out on the internet)?
Looking for a practical approach that doesn't confuse you with technical terms and jargon?
This beginners course is for photographers who want to understand all the important functions in Adobe Photoshop in a very practical approach. It will be like I'm taking you by the hand, explaining everything in a very visual and conversational way, so you don’t have to worry that it’s too technical or difficult to understand.
But I don't just skim the surface! This course takes you in detail through the most useful Photoshop tools and menus, all while applying them to an image so you can see their effects. This way you will be able to implement them on your own images immediately.
You will learn:
The Photoshop interface
The Tool Bar
The Menu Bar
The different layer options and their blending modes
you will get to know all important filters and adjustments so you can bring your images to their fullest potential without any problems.
I will also go through two workflows where all these tools get put into action: a wildlife photograph, and a portrait image.
I had once the same questions that you have now and we will explore all those tricky looking photoshop buttons and functions so that you don't have to worry about them, and can start getting the best potential from your images.
At the end of the tutorial you will not only understand all those photoshop techniques that are relevant for photographers but you will also love photoshop! You will be mesmerized how it can bring your images to a whole new level, how it will spark your creativity and how much fun it is!

I thought it was beginners. It has started seemingly in the middle of the knowledge? I am a true beginner, I need to know how to import an image to start work and go from there. I will continue to use this as she keeps saying 'don't worry I will go over this in more detail' Also, she uses terms that I am not familiar with like 'dodge' and 'burn'.

Finding it a bit confusing so far

Sandy talks very clearly and concisely and I've been looking for a photoshop beginner course like this. Excellent and informative.
By Will Perez on 6/20/2018
Well balanced and detailed, following on the on-screen is good to help me remember all the steps. Photoshop has always been a bit of a mystery to me, so I am happy to get some in depth instructions
By Ivan Sunden on 6/4/2018
Clear explanations and photoshop experience really shines through! The instructor is very knowledgeable and it's nice to hear how she enjoys sharing all the information to make things easier for you.
By Randall Hewell on 2/27/2018
Enlightening and interesting, Sandy covers the basics in a very clear manner, and goes steadily deeper without going too fast to lose you, or too slow to bore you.
By Eva Nemet on 12/1/2017
I love how clear and straightforward the Photoshop explanations are, especially for a relative beginner like me. Sandy dives into the details without making things too complex - it's easy to follow along. I will use this a reference for my editing for sure.

By Peter Wood on 8/21/2017
