Learn how to use Photoshop with ease while having fun!  

My approach is simple: we focus on real world cases and I present the best techniques that require minimal effort yet produce maximum results. All the lessons are focused on getting the job done in the least amount of time possible. I'll be using the latest version of the program - Photoshop CC, but I explain my workflow for all users, no matter what version you have installed.

  • Customize the program to best suit you   

  • Get the best Photoshop version

  • Create new projects and share your work   

  • Master layers and the layers panel   

  • Move, select, and edit layers

  • Design business cards  

  • Create app icons  

  • Design cute characters   

  • Manipulate and repair photos in creative ways   

  • … and so much more!   

The most important thing about this course: it's the foundation to any designer. After you finish it, you can decide if you want to specialize in: web design, app design, graphic design, retouching, photo manipulation, and so on. You'll have a lot of possibilities, it's up to you to choose what you like the most.

Why is this course different?   

  • Progressive difficulty: we start slow and we build our way up  

  • Tons of activities, exercises, and challenges  

  • Cheat sheets you can review to refresh your memory   

  • Quality instructor support: I respond to most questions in under 12 hours   

  • All lectures are straight to the point - minimal effort, maximum results  

  • Learn by working, not by memorizing!   

By the end of this course you will be able to use the program with ease. You'll feel in control as you pursue and complete more ambitious projects.
