Course Description
Easy workflow and great for those who want to start with Photoshop
All Photoshop work materials are provided & ready for you to download
Full lifetime access to the complete course
All Work Materials are provided & ready for you to download
No Prior Photoshop knowledge needed "Guaranteed"
My approach is:
One thing I have learned through all the years of working with Adobe Photoshop is that knowing and understanding the essentials of adobe photoshop is just as fundamental as the heavier and trickier Photoshop techniques when it comes to honing your craft.
This Photoshop Beginner course is great for Beginners. You do not need any previous knowledge of Photoshop. We start by going through what the photoshop software is and where to start.
A step-by-step guide on photoshop, we'll start by going through what you need to get started. Then we head into the photoshop workspace and how to set it up so that it suits your needs. We'll then head into the essentials of photoshop tools, layers, masks, blend modes, adjustment layers, colour profiles and much more. I've added a small bullet point list down below.
I've also added a bonus lecture towards the end of the course. That focuses on what & how when it comes to using a Wacom tablet combined with your photoshop workflow.

What sets this course apart:
I will teach you how to get into photoshop, so don't worry if you don't have prior experience with photoshop. We start slow and then build our way up.
Receive all work material (Photoshop files) from the start and work along.
Many beginner techniques, photoshop tools, exercises, and work challenges.
The idea is to make photoshop fun and easy! "Great to work along"
Instructor support within 24 Hours. "I do my best to answer every question"
One final note: My goal is to teach you photoshop, so don't stress about not having worked in photoshop before. "I do my best to make it simple & fun"
Thank you!

I Love Sharing & Teaching Online.
Here on Udemy, I'm an instructor that teaches Photoshop for beginners, but if you are more experienced, then take advantage of my free Photoshop courses. I’ve been teaching Photoshop & Retouching on Udemy since 2012.
In my personal capacity, I’m an owner of a Digital Media Agency where the core focus lays in Content Creation. I’ve been an active photographer and retoucher since 2010 and have worked on many advertising campaigns in Cape Town “South Africa” for clients like Mercedes, Zara, H&M, etc,
When I'm not working on campaigns, I'm producing online training courses & I have realized that it has become my passion to teach online, this may vary between Photoshop, Photography, Design or Business Content. In the next years, it is my goal to teach you how to become a better version of yourself with all kinds of skills. Most of which I have used to make my life better & to gain financial freedom.
Feel free to reach out to me on Udemy at any time, if you have questions about the courses or just want to say hi!
Thank you, Manni

It would be great if there is a session as to how to use photoshop for rendering interiors or a home layout plan which is relevant for interior designers. Great Class! Thank you.

He presents everything very thoroughly, keeping in mind that those watching are total newbies. I can follow easily. He doesn't leave me behind. I stop the video and practice what he has shown to make it sink in.
