  Here’s what our students are saying…

“For an absolute beginner, the details and instructions were easy to follow. The instructor spoke slowly and gave reasons why or why not he would be using certain features. So far so good.”

– Anne Davidson

“The course was correctly paced and well presented by the instructor, the layer’s section was the area I was most interested in. Although I do not use the Organizer, I have a much better understanding of it now. Overall a very good introduction to PSE 2018 and most of its capabilities, some areas were out of scope for the course, of those not covered I would have liked to see a least a brief tour of in camera raw.”

- Jim Westfall

"Very detailed, and appreciated. It makes it easy to be motivated rather than discouraged for someone that finds this part of photography difficult. Thank you"

- Kristi Yacavace

Very thorough and easy to follow. Well explained and I do enjoy the red marker which circles what is being explained.

Extremely well organized. Literally hundred of mini concepts explained in a straight forward, easy to understand manner I feel I now have a good working knowledge of PSE

I like how the speaker goes slow and explains all the different elements of PSE. One bad thing is that so far, everything is blurry on the screen he is showcasing.

Thank you Toby! This was awesome! I had been struggling trying to create a photo book for my grandson's graduation. I was overwhelmed by this software (even though I used to use Photo Shop years ago.) Now I feel much more confident that I can create a really awesome gift for him!

YES! A decade ago I took an Adobe Photoshop course. Not only do I want to refresh my existing skills but I want to learn all that has changed/improved in the last 10 years. PSE is a great place to start to reacquaint myself with photo editing. I'm half way through the course and have learned ten times the amount I thought I would. The instructor is very thorough and gives detailed instructions as he demonstrates techniques.

yes. Great match. I had fooled around with using the program and finding lessons for particular things. This is a comprehensive course, so far.

It starts a little bit slow for my taste, but i'm mindful that the course is designed for complete beginners. Other than that the instructor speaks very clear and makes it easy to follow.

Some screen shots are out of focus. Overall good presentations. I am now on lecture 30 and an out of focus screen is rare. Raised rating to 5 stars.

Very easy to follow and looking forward to learning more from the instructor. Very riveting. Looking forward to learning more. Thanks. I recommend Toby A. He is very knowledgeable. There's a lot of material and I'm learning a lot. I hope I can remember it all.

I can tell already from just a few videos that this course will be extremely beneficial for me! I have a feeling that once I complete the entire course I will be very confident at editing and organizing my images.

This has been an excellent review, but I am most interested in getting to the Editor Expert training.

The visual for lecture 11 is blurry most of the time. I already have photos and a catalog so need to set up a new catalog for this class. Good refresher since I haven't used PSE in months and it was an older version.

So far so good. I am pleased with the in-depth description of the individual steps. Good for a beginner.
