As a teacher I can tell you that I found your tutorial to be fun, precise and very laid back. Your humility shines in the moments you made mistakes (and thank you for not editing those out) and also created many smiles while learning a program that can be overwhelming and frustrating. You did a fantastic job and I learned SO MUCH. Thank you.
Phew!! I’m just about to dive into Adobe!! This is so useful! Hmm…. On the off chance you might want to help?? The Canon D5 (second hand) or a new Nikon D5600?? I’m lost!! Cheers
@Wheelz I’m not sure as well haha..now getting enroll into photography and knowing about cameras..
This course was invaluable. So Dan, if you’re listening, thank you. To everyone else, take this class. I’ve sampled about 10 photoshop tutorials and this is by far and away the best. He takes the time to walk you through steps rather than just doing them and hope you’re following along. It really is for beginners. I’m very grateful.
Agree with you
Totally agree with you…
Much appreciated!
Hello Dan, I wanted to let you know that in 3 hours you have taught me more about Photoshop than I learned at my 4-year design school. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

@QuantumThugLife Base12Organic Well, I’m glad that he did! Now we don’t have to go back 6 months to find the time stamps!
@Torque you can ,I did hour of it in one day.
So you are not supposed to learn every single one of them back to back….. 😕

Thank u so much
like
very helpful sir.
It’s in description!
I finished the entire course in a few days. Thank you SO MUCH for putting this out for free! I learned a lot!
Great to hear!
I think the least that i can do after i just finished this course is to drop a HUGE THANK YOU, it was very fun and laidback aswell as really productive and the fact that you offer this for free is just jaw dropping for me in a time where you have to pay for almost everything. You really seem to enjoy helping people improve and for that yoy deserve all the respect and love from this world. Keep being awesome!
Thank you Dan!! i have been meaning to learn Photoshop for eons but didn’t find any tutorials that were even half as half as good as yours. The pace, examples, the background info, tips and most importantly your cheerful voice and humility made for a wonderful learning experience
Fantastic course Dan. You are a top teacher. Thank you! You mentioned next steps for a photographer (which is my use case) might be Lightroom. I’m already fairly experienced in LR but I’m a beginner in PS. Are there any additional PS courses you would recommend for photographers (and especially for landscape photography, which is my fave)? Again, many thanks!
Amazing, I watched other tutorials before and had to google and trouble shoot every step for like 15 minutes cause my photoshop did things completely different. You pointed out all defaults and required settings to follow along. Best tutorial I have seen so far.
Hi Dan, thank you so much for your kind effort! It’s unbelievable to find such great course absolutely free – very precise, well organised and absolutely very productive with no wishy washy talk! By far, the best I have seen. I have learnt a lot from this. Once again my sincerest thank you from the bottom of my heart for your selfless sharing! God bless you! ???
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this course Dan!
It was so useful. I learned so much and look forward to building on them.
Please what version of photoshop is used in this course ?
Thank you so much Dan! I thought I knew quite a bit in Photoshop, but learned so much and how to do things properly. Would love to know if you have more tutorials BY YOU on Photoshop and Illustrator with more in depth learning like this. I’ve watched both of the beginner ones and loved them! 🙂
Dan Scott, sir.. you’re the man! I followed your tutorials for Adobe illustrator six weeks ago and now I’m so good with shortcuts, logo designs and character designs which was my main reason I wanted to learn.
Though, I couldn’t make the kind of backgrounds I wanted for my characters due to the limitations of the brushes on Illustrator. I read that Photoshop would be better and immediately, you came to mind. I had no doubt you’d have a tutorial for Photoshop. I’ll begin tomorrow and I’m absolutely excited about it.
Thanks, for making these videos. You’re the best.
Truly, I can’t thank you enough.
This is such a lot of significant worth to be free and I simply love the energetic way you’re clarifying things, I’ve in a real sense partook in each moment of it and didn’t consider it especially hard or exhausting (as it’s the situation for all abilities)
Be that as it may, I am totally pursuing further developed stuff
Thank you for the tutorial! That last hour was gold!
Been using photoshop for about 16 years and I finally just upgraded to 2021 from 7. What an improvement!
Hi man
I had a question if you wouldn’t mind
I’m looking into using Photoshop skills and video editing skills and such things in that category and area of tech as my job
You know
To make money with it
But i have nooooo clue how should I do it
Do you have any tips for me?
And sorry it got too long
Dan,
Honestly, I can’t thank you enough.
This is so much valuable to be free and I just love the playful way you’re explaining things with, I’ve literally enjoyed every minute of it and didn’t think of it as particularly hard or boring (as it’s the case for all skills)
But I am absolutely signing up for more advanced stuff
Thanks again 🙂
@DZ Ghost 06 Their only is one
Can you tll me which is the best photoshop app for pc ?
@Arvind .T Adobe Photoshop CC 2018

I have never had more fun working along to a tutorial. I think I have found a new passion! Even my mood has been significantly lifted since doing this. Thank you, Dan! You are an awesome teacher, easy to listen to and even funny!

This course was wonderful and I love the teacher’s fun personality. 🙂 I’ve tried a few courses from paid subscriptions and they were just too complex for beginners, I couldn’t finish them. I was able to do this without much difficulty and actually enjoyed myself. Thank you so much, I will be looking for your other courses asap! 🙂 The exercises were interesting and you explained them so well.
Awesome, thank you!
