Photoshop For Beginners
Learn how to master Photoshop and go from complete beginner to total pro in just a few hours!
Adobe Photoshop is used across multiple industries and in many different careers and hobbies. Whether it be for a profession or just for fun, Photoshop can seem completely overwhelming when you are first getting started. Some of you may have even opened the program only to quickly close it and walk away...
Do you face any of these challenges?
You’re feeling overwhelmed at the thought of even opening Photoshop.
You don’t know where to start let alone how. Maybe you've opened Photoshop only to decide it was overwhelming.
You’re a photographer who only works in Lightroom but you would love to be able to enhance your images and expertise.
You don’t have the time to invest in lengthy and advanced workshops.
Your boss has asked you to retouch a corporate headshot or create quick graphics.
You want to create your own graphics rather than always hiring someone.
or maybe... You would love to be able to edit everyday photos to remove imperfections or people and objects in the background.
You just want to have some fun and feel some creativity again.
Or maybe you just need a Photoshop-refresher to brush up on some skills (pun intended!)
PLEASE NOTE: This course was recorded in 2020 and gives you a solid understanding of Photoshop before AI. There is NO AI included in this course. If you are looking for AI lessons, please contact me!
I've been there too...
It feels like it wasn’t that long ago that I opened photoshop for the first time. I looked around and thought, "there is literally no way that I am ever going to be able to create anything in here!"
I decided to seek out help and buy every Photoshop book I could possibly get my hands on. My days were spent learning how to make text look like it was on fire and laughing at the way I could liquify my face to look like an alien.
Fast forward a 15 years and now I’m working for Adobe and still enjoy learning advanced Photoshop techniques, creating images that I thought could only exist in my imagination, and teaching people how to do the same!
Just because photoshop may seem like a daunting program, it does not mean that you won’t be able to learn it and begin your path to becoming a pro.
