Here's what Photoshop Magic students are saying:
Mhairi Simpson
I’ve been using Photoshop for years but this has already taught me so much stuff, particularly keyboard shortcuts and ways to arrange my workspace, that I had no idea how to do.
Bjørn Kroghsbo
WOW! What an effect! – This was really an eye opener for me, both in terms of effect and in terms of understanding how to use and blend different pictures. And combined with masking it’s incredible.
Lynda Simpson
The thing I found very difficult – if not impossible – before the course – was using masks – I just didn’t get how to use them whereas now I feel confident using them.
David LeBron
I can now move forward with confidence and with a better understanding of how I work to achieve a final project!
