Dive into the world of photo editing where you'll discover the magic of turning good photos into great ones with the help of Adobe Photoshop.

You'll learn how to adjust lighting and color, straighten horizons, remove blemishes, and make your images pop - all the fundamental tools and techniques that are the bread and butter for any photographer looking to add a professional touch to their work.

By the time you've finished, you'll not only have a solid grasp of layers, masks, and filters, but you'll also know how to prepare your masterpieces for the web and print.

What you will learn

I started this course with one thing in mind: to make the first-time beginner succeed with Photoshop. Rest assured, every lesson is meticulously designed to build your confidence and skills step by gentle step without overwhelming you.

Unique in this process is to explain how to go back and start over when you mess up and don't know what you did wrong. Believe me, this will happen when you first start with any new software, but it's especially frustrating with Photoshop.

Before long, you'll be enhancing your photos with a level of polish that you may not have imagined possible when you first picked up your camera. Plus, the resources are organized in such a straightforward way that you can always go back to revisit any point whenever you need a refresher. All lessons are downloadable for anytime access. Trust me, by the end of this journey, you'll look at your photos and think, "Did I really do that?" and "Photoshop was not as complicated as I thought!" I can't wait to guide you through each step of the way!
