A Lesson 6-10 of ‘Learning Photoshop – For Busy People’! In these next 5 lessons, a collective of almost 1 hour of training, you will start to get a more full understanding of Photoshops features, how to use them together, and start going into the more intermediate features!
Learning Photoshop – For Busy People, is aimed at teaching you, over the course of 20 lessons, to go from a complete Photoshop Newbie to being able to understand and follow the most advanced tutorials out there.
A lot of teaching material for Photoshop ends up focusing on all the little details that you really don’t need to know. Do you really need to have a full understanding of the coding in Actions? Or a deep knowledge of how Batch Processing works? No, you don’t. I skip over features that are rarely used, and focus solely on the stuff that people actually use to make their work.
Everything is taught hands-on, with practical applications as we go through it all. It’s gonna happen in a relatively fast pace, so fasten your seatbelts!

You also get the same JPEG files used in the tutorials, including the finished looks, so you can work alongside the video and compare results!
IMPORTANT NOTE : A Photoshop Sketch action is used in the tutorial, which is NOT included in the download files. The action itself is not important, and is merely used to demonstrate how features work together.
