Description

Hi there, my name is Dan Scott. I am an Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI) for Photoshop. 

Are you struggling to learn Photoshop on your own? This course will allow you to use Photoshop professionally. You will be able to add Photoshop to your CV & start getting paid for your Photoshop skills.

In this course I will teach you everything you need to know about getting started with Photoshop. You'll learn how to use Photoshop for use in Graphic Design & for Photoshop Retouching. You will create lots of your own projects that you can add to your own portfolio to help your employment.

  • David: "AMAZING course Dan! Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us!! Your teaching style is very professional and easy to understand. I feel comfortable with the skill set you've given me to handle small projects now. I've already purchased your Advanced Training Course in Photoshop and can't wait to dive in!! Thanks again!

This course is for beginners. You do not need any previous knowledge of Photoshop, photography or design. We will start right at the beginning and work our way through step by step. 

You will learn the Photoshop 'secret sauce' whereby we will magically enhance our background and when necessary completely remove people from images.

There are exercise files available to download so that you can follow along with me in the videos. There are lots of assignments I will set so that you can practice the skills you have learned. 

  • Simon: "I just finished the Adobe Photoshop Essentials Training Course and I want to say I totally loved it! For me, a person who had zero experience in using Photoshop this course was very helpful to get into the graphic design area with a lot of interest and fun. This course is very good structured - from easy to hard topics. Also it has a lot of detailed explanations and really fun practical tasks. I've got all I needed for starting to work on my own first graphic design projects. And again, Daniel is just a great teacher! His teaching style is awesome and I am really glad I picked his courses for learning my new profession. With Daniel it's really fun and interesting journey."

If you have never opened Photoshop before or you have already opened Photoshop and are struggling with the basics, follow me and together we will learn how to make beautiful images using Photoshop.

I felt that a lot of time in the videos was wasted on unnecessary jokes and repeated repetitions of the same phrases that had already been absorbed from the beginning of the course There are many tools and shortcuts that are great and better than what was presented in the course, most of which I learned through YouTube

Everything I wanted from an essentials course, I recommend 100%. This course was so good that I bought more from him, they're all great.

Yeah it's a good match for me but the course should come with a link to get an updated Photoshop application. The only challenge I have is my version of Photoshop

I was always afraid of using Photoshop because of the endless features it has, but Dan has explained everything in clear and concise manner which makes the studying effortless and fun! I recommend it to everyone, even if you are not a photographer, with the things you learn in this course you can do basic stuff with photos in no time!

Dan's course has been brilliant, have learned lots of new tips and tricks. Will look to now do the Advanced Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator courses.

Hello Dan, you have excellent teaching skills in that you can pass your sense of how to use photoshop to newcomers of the software. Quick question, can these Udemy videos be applicable to digital art? It seems that these lessons are catered to people new in photoshop but the direction seems to lean towards those who want to use Photoshop for graphic design purposes. I have an interest in digital painting than graphic design. Instead of letters and typographical themes do I just have to replace them with shapes and images? It seems like I know the answer but I'm new to this and was wondering to what extent is it possible for me to get a more "digital art" education than a graphic design one through your videos? Take care and thank you for your time.

Daniel's voice is lovely to listen to and makes the content much more engaging than some professors I've had in the past.

Excellent teacher, clear explanation, love his style. After the Premiere Pro, I bought the Lightroom and Photoshop without even checking the free intro lessons. Great structure and really handy for re-referencing them after you forgot something.

I am glad that I found Udemy and Dan. I have no idea about this, but now I have confidence to do something on my photoshop. Dan is a funny person, so it helps me excited to learn. I need to pause and go back how many times because he talked past, but rather than that everything's fine.

I Prefer Being Taught a lot of the updates and shortcuts or tricks earlier on to save time since i tend to apply what is taught/practice. But Everything else was on point. Saved a lot of time. Had to Figure out some things in the newer version but twas not an issue. Thank you very much for the work you've put in to make this course Teacher Dan & See you in the advanced version of the course.
