Description

Ever feel that Photoshop is too complicated to use? Give me 4 hours of your time and you'll never look at Photoshop the same way again!

Use Photoshop to edit your everyday photographs, beautify yourself, create design works such as posters and logos, and share them with your friends on social media - Instagram and Facebook etc!

Photoshop is a GIGANTIC software. This course focuses on tools that you are likely EVER going to use in your daily life! Do not waste time on lengthy courses that compromised on common everyday tools, and teach you stuff which you are never going to use!


What This Course Entails:

  • The first 9 Sections consist of lectures to teach you all the Photoshop Essentials.
  • The last Section is a 1 hour long Case Study Section whereby I will show you examples of how people combine different knowledge of Photoshop to achieve their goals. You will have a good idea of all the Photoshop essentials and capable of using this software on your own.

  • Either a total beginner who have not touch Photoshop before, or just started using this piece of software. This course assumes you have no prior knowledge!


What Makes This Course DIFFERENT from other courses:

  • This Course is designed to teach you Photoshop in a succinct manner, and last ONLY 4 hours!
  • Even though the Course lasts only 4 hours, it teaches you all the Photoshop ESSENTIALS in a totally BEGINNER FRIENDLY way. This is possible by carefully crafting the course content, and not bombard you with unnecessary topics and words.
  • A short Course gets you started right away without boring you through lengthy lectures! 
  • Updated for CC 2017 version!


Who this Course is NOT for:

  • This Course does not teach you 3D, as well as animating in Photoshop.
  • If you have been using Photoshop for years, and looking to learn more advanced topic, this course might not be for you as it is designed for beginners who wish to start and understand more about Photoshop.
