This 4+ hour class on the basics of Photoshop is divided into easily viewable chunks to maximize your learning.
While we recommend you watch the lessons in order (and mark the lessons complete at the end of each), you can jump around to the sections you’re most interested in and come back at any time to review.
Where applicable, there are notes and resources below the lesson videos which will lead you to more in-depth descriptions of the principles from the lesson.
At the bottom of this lesson, you’ll see a note on how our course software works, so if you’re new to this system, you can read about that here.

Photo Editing Terms Used Within the Course
Throughout the course, I may reference a photo editing term you may or may not be familiar with. It’s fairly important to understand the definition of the term or phrase if you want to truly understand how the tool works or what I’m describing within the lessons.

How Our Course Software Works
From your profile page, you’ll be able to start any course you’ve purchased. Just click the course name and you’ll get to the course page with the lessons listed.
Once a lesson is complete, you’ll click the “mark complete” button to move forward. Marking the course complete also helps to know where in the process you are (started, in progress, or complete)
Also on your profile page is a “resume course” button which is an easy way to get back to the lesson you were on, in the course you were last moving through.
Having purchased this course, or any course on our site, you’re also enrolled into a group that contains all our free webinars or classes. So if you see other courses on your profile page, that’s likely what they are. There may or may not be free courses available depending on when you become a member of our site. They will be added when they’re available and you’ll be notified by email.
