You got Photoshop and don't know where to start?
You feel lost with so many options?
Unsure what Layers are or how to use them?
Image sizes, dimensions & resolutions are a mystery?
Don't know which selection method is best?
Dodging, burning, brush sizes, flows and opacities - wwhhaaaaatttt!?

If you feel any of these statements to be true, Photoshop For Beginners is for you

Let me teach you how find your way around and work on your images with the most frequently used tools.

Most photographers use Lightroom to retouch their images these day, but photoshop has some powerful tools that are not available in Lr - like Layers and fine selection. It’s about maximising an image to match the excitement and impact you saw when you captured it. If you want to go beyond that, it's a creative choice for you to make.

I had no experience with Photoshop when I bought the course, I now feel confident in manipulating images to a competent standard. Mike makes everything simple and easy to digest. It's taken my photography to the next level and I recommend it 100%, worth every penny (and more!)
