This is a great course on Photoshop. I could hardly do anything in Photoshop before I took this course but now I am making all types of adjustments non destructively. Great way to learn! Congratulation Dave and thanks!

I loved Dave's concept of non-destructive editing, Smart Objects, and Camera Raw. I have used Photoshop for a few years but have a lot to learn. Dave has inspired me in so many ways! Thanks Dave :-)

Best place to start for anyone who wants to learn Photoshop. Jumping all over YouTube is not the answer. Dave manages to present up-to-date information that is understandable without talking down to you.
