Photoshop CC 2020 MasterClass

Master the industry leading image manipulation/editing application with this in-depth course.

A little more information

Adobe Photoshop is the industry-leading tool for improving and manipulating the way images look. You can remove unwanted details, improving their colours, exposure, contrast, sharpness and overall look. But it doesn’t stop there, you can also combine images to create seamless compositions and even add animations, videos or 3D objects into your designs.

A rock-solid knowledge of Photoshop is essential to so many roles within the Creative Industry. It is the flagship product of Adobe and has been for a long time. 

Here are a few areas where most professionals couldn't live without Photoshop as their primary tool: photography, photo retouching, photo manipulation, digital art, concept art, game design, poster design, graphic design, user interface design, web design and 3D texture design.

In this course, we are going to start from the very basics of working in Photoshop. Then we will move on to explore far more complex tools, techniques and so much more.

The Photoshop Masterclass is presented in a clear, detailed and cleverly structured series of chapters. Martin's brilliant style of teaching and speaking clearly, provides a pace that can be easily absorbed by the student. The techniques are covered in a way that they overlap chapters to demonstrate a suggested workflow. The beauty of Yes courses is you can stop the video or return to a chapter to revise your skills and follow along with the tutorials at your own pace. I've bee using Photoshop for some 18 years, but was amazed at how many shortcuts and techniques have have learned which have greatly improved my productivity as a Graphic Designer, and also been shown all the new features in Photoshop CC 2018. I highly recommend this course.

Martin goes into great detail in this series, ensuring extremely vital elements of the program are not ignored. I've completed a few other tutorials on Photoshop and studied it as a module for two separate academic courses and I was amazed by how many important tools and features of photoshop were overlooked in the past once I took this course. There's a lot of information to take in, so I'd recommend taking it section by section and practicing what is taught to ensure you fully understand it. I've still got a lot of practice to do myself, but I definitely view Photoshop in an incredibly different light now and see this course as a major milestone in my path to become a professional designer.

There is so much in photoshop but I think Martin did an awesome job explaining some really useful tools. I use photoshop for collages so the retouching with gradients, information on levels, etc. and the masking lessons were extremely helpful. Looking forward to my next course!!!
