Best PS tutorial on the internet

Master Piece

Okay, first of all, THANK YOU! Im not a beginner, i would say im something around intermediate in photoshop, and yet I found it sooo entertaining to watch! Plus it showed me how you can do many things differently and easily! Second of all, your teaching skills are on totally different level. Like wow dude. Your commentary is so good and your humour had me really laughing out loud. I didnt want to watch the basic stuff, like zooming, but your commentary just kept me watching it for 4 hours straight... Unbelievable! Thank you for making this video, i believe its the best photoshop tutorial on the internet! I hope and believe that everybody who watched it will be successful in his/hers creations! <3

Overwhelmed by Photoshop

Somesh Rai

Thank you so much. I was so overwhelmed thinking that PS is so complex. I am really grateful to you for putting together 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 [...] You are an amazing teacher!

Better than Lynda!

Mollie Morrissette

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!!!

Been using PS for the last 10 years

Brian Kingston

Hi Jeremy. I've been using Photoshop for the last 10 years and consider my self a fairly advanced user. I've just completed watching your video course, and I must say, I am blown away at how good it was. I learnt a few things that I didn't know. I love the way you took us through a whole process from start to finish without getting too complicated. This is a great video for someone just starting out with Photoshop and doesn't want to be overwhelmed with the complexities of advanced image manipulation. WELL DONE SIR....YOU DID A GREAT JOB.

Jump started my PS learning

Francesco Sisto

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!

Learned more in an hour

tbu1mi

I just learned more in a few hrs that I was able to do in a week reading the book I had. Great job by a fine teacher.

FAQ

  • What are masks? Why should I care?

    Masks are a tool in Photoshop that allow you to make much more precise selections. This class starts with exactly this question.

  • I've been using masks for years on a professional level. Will this help me?

    While the first few videos will be review, the class escalates and I'm sure you'll learn a few tricks you never knew were out there. There's a 30-day money back guarantee, so give it a shot.

  • I've never heard of and/or barely used masks. Will this class be too advanced?

    The first few lessons assume that the viewer has never heard of masks, and we ramp up from there. You'll be in great shape.

  • Can I sample a lesson from the class first?

    Of course. If you go above to the course curriculum, there are a couple videos you can click on to see a sample. It will prompt you to create a login, and then you can watch them. Alternatively, you can google 'Four Hour Photoshop Crash Course' and get a sense of my teaching style that way.
