Well structured and easy to understand and follow. Reinforced many of the concepts I have learned before and also help me to better understand how they work/affect images

I have used Photoshop for quite a while, but was missing many of the basics. I have found things in every lesson. I have 2 things that have been most helpful. Firstly, a better understanding of Smart objects. and secondly a better understanding of select and masking workspace.

I was wasting time with YouTube until I found you. Thanks Brendan.

Your course is thorough, yet streamlined, and your teaching style is clear, concise, and extremely helpful. You are an outstanding teacher, teaching a subject that is often not taught well. The way you introduce topics and let us know we will be delving into them later in more depth, is a beautiful way of layering information and building on concepts from conceptualization through effective utilization. And the way you organize the presentation of topics is so effective and something I don't encounter often. The most valuable thing I've learned is that I can trust you to guide me to enhance and deepen my skills and that there is a lot of wisdom that I will gain as I progress through your course. Thank you!

I started with zero knowledge and have a good basic understanding. At first overwhelming but now I can follow along and kinda know what we need to do with each tool. You have presented the deeper knowledge which I do understand overall but know it will become second nature with a lot of practice

Many things have become more clear, especially with the demonstrations of "blend-if" and use of the Pen Tool. I most enjoyed putting the previous exercises together with the last two projects: building Instagram and YouTube banners.

This has been an excellent course for my portrait / Wedding photography business. It is a ton of learning so I will be going back many times and reviewing certain modules as I need. Brendan's style of no nonsense teaching is the best I've found on YouTube.

5 Star. Course clearly set out with the addition of images used included so you could create what was being taught. Although I made notes I also found the included text useful. There were so many areas where I had some knowledge but did not realize that there was so much more to learn. I had been worried that the course would be predominately on how to take photographs, an area that I am not involved with - more 'snaps' on an iphone but now appreciate how any image can be improved. I am primarily involved with using friends' images and trying to improve them. This usually means deleting odd legs and hands or caravans! from dog agility events (a topic you used in your youtube banner video) and trying to merge in backgrounds. I really liked the idea of using shapes to create an area to merge images into as in the instagram video.
