Daniel –
This course was really fun and taught really well on how to use Photoshop. I had no prior experience in Photoshop but by the end of the course I was able to make some amazing stuff. The instructor in the videos makes everything very clear and fun. It did take a while for the assignments to be graded but they were graded quickly when finally graded. Overall, a great and fun course!

If you want your student to learn photoshop, this is a perfect class. It covers everything you will need to know to use photoshop in detail with video guides. By the end of this class, your student will be editing photos like a professional, whether realistically or stylistically. (Note: the student does not have to have any experience in photography.)
