Great Class to get started
I had used photoshop in the past for projects and felt limited due to my lack of knowledge about the tools at my disposal. This class walks you through the vast majority of the tools needed to accomplish most tasks. Even the lessons that weren’t about a field I am particularly interested in where worth doing as they helped me pick up lots of little tricks. My only complaint is that some of the downloads were broken, but still I was able to find images that allowed me to follow along. I will use this course for a refresher when its needed. Thank you!
Great stuff
THIS COURSE IS TOP NOTCH!!!!
