This one is the one of the best Raw Image processing course that I have ever taken. Within 2.5 hours of course I understood the way pro process their image. Though I knew about many tools & tricks before enrolling into this course, I was not able to understand them till I take this course fully. Thank you Kasia for such an amazing course.

Kasia is a very knowledgeable instructor. She really helped me to understand luminosity masking and the benefit of using them for complex selections. I would definitely enroll in another one of her courses.

She use an image that is not available to download and I still don't know why she start to talk about lens corrections, which has nothing to do with the subject she was discussing and she come back to the first subject after this, really makes no sense and again, the image she used wasn't available to download.
