A few (kind!) words from Matt R: ★★★★★
"This is the best Photoshop course I have ever watched to get you from opening the software to fast results even if you just need to export layers from or slightly edit existing images......shortcuts and all the tips from experienced instructor really add to practical skills you should use every time when working with Photoshop."
Most beginners don't understand the importance of working quickly in software. I teach from a keyboard shortcut first approach to help teach Photoshop for Beginners in a practical and useful way. Interested in shaving 10-20 minutes (or more) from your projects?
What's Unique About this Photoshop for Beginners Course?
I've taken all of the trial and error parts from learning Photoshop as a beginner and packaged it into a course. I'm really adamant about teaching fast and effective methods. Don't think that just because you're a beginner that you can't learn the quick ways from the start.
Many of the Photoshop for beginners tutorials I watch don't always show the quickest method to get projects done. Even though there are multiple ways to get one task done, it's helpful if you can save time.
I've used Photoshop for years with web design, image manipulation, social media marketing, and continue to push out Photoshop tutorials on YouTube. The trick? More work in the software = more learning! Not really a secret, huh?
Olaf Z. (cool name!) says this: ★★★★★
"I am working from time to time with Photoshop. It always takes me a lot of time to work on my photos. I thought it is too complicated to use it just once in a while and be effective. This course teaches effective methods to work with photoshop in just 3 hours."
Don't worry about the learning curve in the software. You'll understand even more than just basic skills with Photoshop for Beginners and how to effectively work in your projects.
Here are some examples of what to expect in the course:
- Complete setup of the program from the start
- How to set preferences for an efficient workflow
- Creating a workspace for easier navigation
- The importance of keyboard shortcuts
- How to save time with exporting

A Little About Me
My name's Nick and I'm just an average guy from Indiana trying to make a difference. I'm an entrepreneur that uses my family as fuel for creating media. Being creative helps me have less stress and a more fulfilling lifestyle.
I'm passionate about filming video, using awesomeness like motion graphics, and using software to take ideas from my head into reality. It's one of coolest things to do -- especially when you love what you do.
Professional Experience (and education)
For some of my expertise, I'm simply self-taught, but I've learned the correct way to do things once I found out that DIY is not always the best so to speak.
I work with clients to help their business grow using my design skills and creative knowledge. This has been a venture in itself.
From an educational standpoint, I have a degree in Computer Information Systems, but have used limited skills from what I learned attending college. Most of what I teach/use today is from my pursuit of purpose in life.
