Learned a lot about what I can do within the Photoshop application. More than I knew before and what I could apply it to within my workplace.

Anthony was friendly, detailed and very easy to follow online. You could tell he knew the tool and gave good explanations and multiple examples we could practice with. The group was a good small size. Definitely recommend this course. A real eye-opener to how much Photoshop can do. Very valuable for my work. Thanks Anthony!
