It's a very good course. It will be truly helpful, when I will be able to continue to go through the course again and again to clear my doubts. Thank you Sir. A very big thank you for the Great Instructor.

Presenter is very engaging a speaks clearly. Examples are relevant and it is very easy to follow along. It would be awesome if this could updated to reflect the updated version of Adobe Photoshop 2017 as there are some differences. I would highly recommend this course to others.

This is one of the best courses in udemy. The instructor knows his stuff, and you may have to review or practice to really master the material, but it's all there. When going thru the classes, he will restate various things to make sure you really did take them in while giving the lecture. Another great thing is this the latest PS - CC 2015. Yes, Adobe photoshop is variable with different versions. PS is a complicated program - so thanks to this instructor for making this course. I tend to skip ahead - so perhaps miss important things. If you really want intricate knowledge of PS, this is a great course!

Andy is clear and concise, he also injects his personality and humour into his presentation, which keeps you engaged. Love his courses! The only thing I would say about this course is that it seems to lack all of the possible working files. I would have liked to have been able to follow along in some lessons, but the files weren't there. Having said that the course really picks up later on and you couldn't ask for a better beginners introduction to the world of Photoshop.

Great attention to detail and an engaging delivery of the content. I'll admit, I watched chronologically until about halfway through section 2 and then skipped ahead to the fun stuff. I promise I'll go back and watch the rest later :-)

The pace is really good, and he is talking in a simple language that is easy to follow and understand. However, when he talks about layers (and other sections), he has no files in the "working files" file. Meaning that you cant follow along. this is frustraiting if you are a "hands on" kinda guy (like myself).

I’ve used Photoshop long enough to know that I could be better at it. There are many features that are hard to discover and understand without being shown by someone like Andy, who knows the program inside and out. I particularly liked the integration of Adobe Bridge and Photoshop in this course, along with the sections on filters and adjustment layers. Andy’s organization, pacing, and enthusiasm makes it easy to learn and retain new information. His courses are packed with information but never frustrating, so it’s easy to stay motivated, follow along, and learn an amazing amount of usable stuff.

This is a good course, but there needs to be some updates. I was lost during the Refine Edge section as it's changed. I would also like the layers example to be available to work on along with the instructor. Otherwise, it's proving to be a very helpful course and the instructor is great at explaining things.

His speaking voice is very clear. So far, the instruction is detailed and informative. I've been working in Photoshop for a few years now and by no means do I know everything about it, so this is exactly what I need.

Andy is great, great, great... he is probably the best presenter/instructor on Udemy and is definitely the guru of all things Adobe.

Instructor is very systematic, personable and knows how to transfer his competence to a student. I'm very engaged and have looked forward to watching the lessons. I skipped over what i "thought" i knew already but Andy's teaching is so well done that i'm going back to concepts to make sure i truly do understand them--from his perspective and training. I am very, very pleased with this course.

Have taken courses with Andy Anderson and his enthusiasm for the product and the subject matter is contagious. Though I am not as adept as he is with the product, his teaching style makes me believe I will become as skilled with the product as he is.

A very important lesson, and perhaps the early intro results in a beginner not seeing the immense value of the content.

I've only done the first couple of sections, but the course seems great so far. I'm a novice so this has taught me lots about the basics of Photoshop

Andy is a good teacher. He makes learning very easy and intuitive. What I like about his method of teaching is that he does not show-off but he explains the menu and tools properties and why/how to use them. Another super course.
