Really helpful course for people who haven't really used much photoshop. A great way to do hands-on learning and following along with the trainer.
I think this course provided incredible insight into the basics of Photoshop. John was really great methodically going through each step and provided different ways to solve the solve the same problem.
Course was really helpful for me as someone who's new to Photoshop. The instructor shared some tips and techniques on how to use the tools and in what instance they're most suitable for. Course is highly recommended for anyone who's starting out with PS.
