Amazing, well structured course. Easy to follow and easy to implement. You'll quickly master photoshop and be very comfortable using it. Now I will say this not a photoshop design course but it's a great place to learn the foundations of working with photoshop and more. It's really awesome. I enjoyed every bit of it and I now feel very comfortable in photoshop and can use almost any tool within it.

A lot of information. Will watch a few more times to pick it all up. I am hoping that the 2nd half is more about Graphics instead of Pictures.

lessons seem to be not in correct order. So, I have spent lots of time figuring out how to complete steps that have already been done in lesson only to discover that the next lesson jumps back a couple steps.

Exemplary in clarity and simplicity! This Photoshop course surpasses others I've taken. Concepts that previously eluded me are now crystal clear thanks to the thorough explanations and user-friendly guidance provided.

By Izzy Abiera on 3/7/2023

This course was amazing! I was so intimidated by photoshop and scared to even touch it but thanks to this course and to the mentor, I am now confident to play with photoshop and begin my graphic design journey! The explanation was so good and included a few mistakes that will make you feel that it's okay to do so.

What an excellent Instructor! I needed a brush up since I started learning PS back in '93 and had of course forgotten EVERYTHING! Now I got it all at my fingertips and that feels so great! Highly recommend! Thank you so much!!

By Donna Mortenson on 1/8/2023

Teaching was very good. I used Photoshop CS5 since 2010 for basic editing, cropping and optimizing so I'm amazed to see what Photoshop CC can do now. The only issue I had is that the Photoshop software has been updated several times since the course was recorded so some of the functions that were demonstrated have been removed or replaced. I learned quite a bit though that I hope to master and use going forward.

Been using Photoshop since the late 80's. These videos allow learning something new in every single video segment. The pacing was also great, not too fast or too slow. Dave was clear and concise with great example files to boot! That includes additional documentation and handouts for further discovery. Wow, thanks, Dave!

By Sherry Lisa on 11/26/2022

I am only partway through and it's quite good, but is very confusing. Lessons start without being told what tools (provided) you need for the lesson, or you start a project, and then abruptly changes to another, only to be picked up at a later date. Many times a lesson picks up from the one before with something changed, only to be told how to do this in a later lesson. So often I was left wondering if I have missed something along the way because of this. The content is very good, but the way it is presented needs to be refined so that it flows better.

By Robert Lebowitz on 8/11/2022

I've been looking for a easy to use and understand course to learn Photoshop. I was amazed by how this course went into so much detail on every aspect, but also made it fun to follow along as well. This was a GREAT course to learn and highly recommend for anyone.
