It is great. I am using it not only for the photos. Using techiques from the video increasing quality of my work - adding those 5%-10% extra.

Good background to relationship between colour and other elements that make up photograph as well as the importance of relationship between colours. At the moment, I a little disappointed that there isn't more about colour grading in the hands on examples and how it relates back to the colour theory part of the course. But only half way through at the moment

No entra en profundidad en los temas principales, por ejemplo, no da indicaciones de cómo manejar el peso visual del color. Por otro lado entra en cosas no relacionadas con el color como la composición a través de encuadres, luces y sombras, etc... Que está muy bien, pero el título del curso debería ser otro.

The course is very good. Especially for someone like me who is working in the field without prior knowledge of colour and without doing any course on colour.

I enjoyed both learning and participating in this course and do intend to apply the knowledge gained to my own photographs. The course instructor is very knowledgeable and concise with her teaching and guidance.

Great instructor. Very good in explaining why and how she does it. I've learnt so much about channels and selective color adjustment. Really hope to see more examples from her. Overall, it's a great course. Thanks Kasia :)

From the course title I was expecting to learn all the methods to control Color in photoshop. Instead this course basically shows a photographers workflow in developing two portaits including Color adjustments. Only few tools and concepts to manipulate Color will be mentioned and explained.

I have taken many courses and most of them always end up focusing on " How to use the tools " and " How to apply certain techniques or effects " .. But in the end when we go and try it later for ourselves, we soon realize that it doesn't look very professional. The reason this keeps happening to you, is the lack of theory and concept about color and luminosity and composition. So no matter how well you learn how to use the tools, if you don't have the theory and concept, you end up using the tools incorrectly. This is why we struggle on achieving the strongly desired " Professional Look " we all want from our pictures. I really like and recommend this course because Kasia ( the instructor ) always focuses very heavily on the theory and concepts of photography. You will learn profound meaning of many things and learn how to achieve results by helping you develop your artistic side, rather than your dexterity with the tools. Kasia, I hope that you continue making courses this way and keep focusing on what I've just told you. Must instructors keep teaching us " How to use the tools " ... But what we really need to know is " Why " do we need to use the tools. If you need more detailed student feedback, just send me a message and I will happily tell you more about what is it exactly what we need and what we're looking for. Thank you all for reading and thank you Kasia for this great course.

Excellent explanations of the complex concepts of color and the techniques to achieve outstanding color (HSL) effects through the use of layer masks and the appropriate PS tools. I would find a way to highlight the brush tool outline and the pointer, perhaps by making them a different color than they are in PS, so that we can see where you are with the brush and the pointer at all times. In addition, sometimes the flow values were not discussed or visible. Learned a great deal. I will take you other courses after I work on these images and then some of my own. Great job. Thanks, Larry

Aborda os princípios básicos da cor, de forma clara e objetiva. Recomendado, para quem nunca viu sobre o assunto, mas já utiliza as ferramentas do Photoshop.
