Our take

Based on the ratings of 509 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2017. No course pays to be reviewed.

Andy Anderson's Infinite Skills course covers Photoshop CS6 in 23 sections and 173 lectures, about 13 hours in all. It starts with the interface, Bridge and Camera Raw, then moves through color, layers, blending modes, adjustment layers, the pen tool, selections, filters, actions, brushes and type, and finishes with output. The audience is listed as all levels, and the reviews back that up. Complete first-timers and people who have used Photoshop for years both say they got something from it.

The teaching gets most of the praise. Reviewers describe a relaxed, clear voice that is easy to listen to over many hours. Several like that he shows more than one method or shortcut for a task and explains why the program does what it does. Others say the pace is right for working along on a computer, and the speed controls help. Complaints are small. One student wanted to do more of the work themselves, one had a lesson that was slow to load, and one called some of the information bad without saying what. Of 509 ratings, 288 are five stars and 25 are one or two stars.

This is a CS6 course, last updated in 2017, so anything Adobe has added since is not covered. Layers, masks, curves and selections each get their own sections. There are no quizzes or exercises, so it is watch and follow along. It is a good fit for CS6 owners and for learning fundamentals at a steady pace. Anyone on a newer release should look for a course built on it.

Best forAnyone with Photoshop CS6 who wants calm, step-by-step video lessons on layers, selections and color correction.
Skip it ifYou use a current Photoshop release, or want quizzes and exercises to practice on.

Pros

  • Andy shows several methods and shortcuts per task and explains why Photoshop behaves the way it does
  • Easy pace to follow on the computer, and the player lets students speed it up to 2x when needed
  • Later sections build on earlier ones, so it works as a reference to come back to
  • Covers Bridge, Camera Raw, curves, masks, actions and type across 23 sections

Cons

  • Built on Photoshop CS6 and last updated in 2017, so newer features are missing
  • No quizzes, exercises or assignments, so practice is left up to the student
  • A reviewer wanted more hands-on work, and another hit a slow-loading lesson
Excellent, great pace. Awesome having ability to speed up video when required and Andy talks at a good pace to enable you to keep up on the computer.

ik zou graag meer zelf willen doen

By Joe Kelly on 1/3/2018

Mr. Andy Anderson of Infinite Skills is like Yoda for CS6. His instruction is very comprehensive (showing multiple different methods/shortcuts) to accomplish a task. As someone who knew very little about CS6 (prior to starting this course), I have mastered much of the fundamentals and beyond. I highly recommend anyone who is learning CS6 to pick up this course!

By Thabo Melamu on 10/3/2017

I Liked the fact that lecturer went to the bone of each and every lesson. He was always going back knowing or assuming that he went too quick, i liked that because sometimes i would get stuck on a lesson but then somehow because of his experience he'd know, "hey, maybe i'm moving to fast on this one.." This experience helped a lot on my designing skills, it has taught me how to save time, how to expand my mind when coming to designing, the possibilities are endless. Thank you For a Wild and fruitful experience

By Ionut Gheorghita on 9/20/2017

I don't like the course. Bad information, from all the courses from Udemy this is the first i don't like. I hope at the end i will change my opinion.

By Malcolm Lawrenson on 2/4/2017

nicely paced and narrated detailed instruction,download able lesson videos with small or large file size choice for those with minimal bandwidth, good narrators voice not grating . would highly recommend this course to any one interested with photo editing as I am sure with a little lateral thought you could find the way to replicate the instructions with the software of your choice.

By Michael Goodin on 5/18/2016

I want to Thank Andy for teaching this course! I was one of those that only dabbled in photo shop. I mostly use Lightroom. These has open the can of worms to do more creative works than just using Lightroom. Here is something interesting this course even helped me within Lightroom. Itruly Thankful for to Both Andy and the team at Edumy! Mickey

By Geoff Evans on 2/24/2016

Firstly I like Andy's formal presentation, I have had prior instruction from him for other applications. My way of learning is, possibly peculiar to me, to view the entire course doing nothing actively. I am now about halfway through the course which is implanted in my limited brain a lot of stuff I didn't know before. Once I have been through the course, I will then go over it again using either the files suggested in the course or images of my own to use the various standards. I will review this when I come to the end of the course.

By Romualdo Colón-Adorno on 7/11/2015

I've played around with the system before it was CS and I must say I did get a whole lot from this course! Theirs a few lectures which the sound does cut out but, I was still able to follow along while learning new tools and new ways to use old tools. Would definitely recommend to all.

By Jack Douglas on 6/26/2015

I took this course to learn and begin implementing Photoshop CS6 in my design work. Using Photoshop CS6 will certainly be a learning process, but this tutorial gave me a thorough overview of it's capabilities and the included examples let me try the newly presented techniques. The instructor was thorough, engaging, and detailed with explanations. That I could stop the video and go to Photoshop for some trial and error made it a real hands on learning process. Excellent and well worth the time and expense.

By Varoon Deo-Singh on 5/21/2015

Andy is a great instructor! He is easy to understand, and explored all areas of Photoshop CS6 -- old and new features. This course helped me achieve what I set out to do. I've used Photoshop before, but I did not understand all of the tools until now. Thanks to Andy's entertaining style of lecturing I am now able to use Photoshop more creatively and more efficiently. The videos were high quality and the lessons were easy to follow.
