Requirements
Just about any version of Photoshop. Preferably Photoshop CC. CS6 is fine, but not ideal. Lightroom or Elements are not ok!

All these projects are going to be done in Photoshop, but the great thing about it is you don’t need any serious experience with it. As long as you have a very basic understanding of the program, I’ll teach you everything you need to know. In case you never opened Photoshop and you have no clue about it, then this course may not be for you.

Important Features Included:
Course workbook: use it to get up and running fast. It contains answers to most questions, detailed explanations about certain techniques shown in the videos, and much more;
Live chat: my students frequently find me on our Discord group chat. This is a free program where you can chat with my fantastic community of students, ask questions, and get help fast. I’m regularly on there!
All the sources files are included (PSDs): this means you can quickly replace my content with yours and use my designs without any strings attached!
Facebook group: get access to a private group of over 4000 people who regularly share their designs, insights, and comments.

Photoshop is not just about manipulating photos, making waist smaller or removing acne! Through this course you’ll learn how to use it like the powerful tool it is and you’ll be able to supercharge your career or personal projects.
