Course description
You’ve seen all the amazing effects and results that are possible in Photoshop, but with such a daunting, in-depth piece of software, where do you even get started? With award-winning trainer Geoff Blake at your side, you’ll master Photoshop’s fundamentals in no time. Geoff’s casual, step-by-step approach makes it easy to understand otherwise complex topics and tough tasks. You’ll learn how to navigate through your images within the Photoshop environment, resize and crop images like a pro, and how to make pixel-perfect selections using a variety of techniques. Geoff will then introduce you to layers, including how to combine images together, apply effects like blending modes and opacity, and show you how to keep your projects organized. Then, it’s on to retouching images and working with Photoshop’s powerful colour correction tools, where you’ll learn methods for making your images look their best. Finally, you’ll be introduced to various special effects and how to work on your images non-destructively. All this and more awaits in Getting Started With Photoshop CC!

“Never have I come across such a thorough method of teaching. Your courses have helped me tremendously! Thank you!”
Let a friend show you how
Hey, I’m Geoff. I help graphic designers, small business owners, and creative people just like you learn about web design, develop valuable, in-demand skills, launch online businesses and creative projects...and yeah, make more money! Learn more about me here.
Learning how to build websites is no different than figuring out perspective drawing, how to weave literary prose, or how to combine chords to make beautiful music. It’s like cooking or woodworking or learning how to fix your car...But for whatever reason, web design’s made out to be highly technical and overly complicated. Let’s change that.
