    Thank you! I have completed all of the beginner’s courses on Adobe and Lynda and – you know what? I learned more in your 4-hour course than I did on watching 20+ hours of their lessons. So thank you!!!

      @hormari naftaada I recorded the course in a day, basically in one six hour session (had to take a few breaks, but mostly in real time). Edited it in a second day. And then uploaded it originally to Udemy on a third day. However, I’d workshopped the material live over the course of teaching a very similar class to rooms of 5 – 100 people over a couple of years. Probably taught it live about forty times in that span. I worked it like a stand up set, taking parts out and adding them in whenever people were either bored because it was too slow or lost because it was too fast or irrelevant. Actually, the first time I taught the class all four of my students ended up walking out of the room because it was so boring. The second time, it felt better. By the fifth time, better still. It took a lot of work to get it to this point, but it was worth.

      There are a few factors in photoshop tutorials. One plan I discovered which successfully combines these is the Trevs Photo Blueprint (check it out on google) definately the no.1 plan that I’ve heard of. Check out all the incredible information.

    Thank you for this crash course. I couldn’t understand other people’s courses and almost gave up till I found this one in December 2019. Your down to earth style is great. I highly recommend this to absolutely new beginners like I was then

    One hour in and I have to leave a comment. I love how he points out where you could go wrong, and how to solve it. It always happens to me as a beginner. Hell knows which key I accidentally clicked.

    I want to thank you so much man, you really jump started my Photoshop learning, I was always getting stuck at very beginning of my many attempt to learn it, but you made me pass that crucial stage and now i can go on and keep learning. Thank you!

    Thank you so much. I was so overwhelmed thinking that PS is so complex. I am really grateful to you for putting such a well designed course. It keeps things confined to basics and i like how you do the mistakes on purpose to show us what to expect and how to correct it. I loved your way of teaching. And i dont know if everyone realise it that you actually provided this video here for free which you actually provide on udemy. I wanna say thank you again. I definitely subscribed to you and i promise to donate to you the day i make my first money with photography. You are an amazing teacher!

    You my friend are a blessing and miracle! I’ve been trying to break into the media and film industry and have decided to take my skills up a notch by learning Photoshop, InDesign and Premiere Pro (which I already have some experience with). This upload is so amazing, I’m so grateful to youtubers like yourself that can provide education for those of us that don’t have the money or time to go back to school, but want to learn. Thank you
