Photoshop is the pinnacle of photo editing and design. Its powerful engine gives everyone the ability to produce magazine-worthy photos.
But for beginners, Photoshop can be overwhelming and confusing. Even experienced users overlook the powerful tools in Photoshop that would speed up their workflow and make a big difference to their photography.
That’s why we created this special Introduction to Photoshop course, which has been designed specifically for photographers.
By the end of this beginner-friendly online course, you’ll know all the essential tools, buttons, and features in Photoshop that will make you a fast and effective photo editor.
This streamlined course cuts through the clutter and confusion and shows you the specific tools, features, buttons you need as a photographer, so that you can tackle any project with ease and confidence.
You’ll start by discovering the basic workspace of Photoshop and how to customize it to suit your needs. Everytime you open the software, you’ll have all your essential panels and tabs at hand for fast editing.
Each module unlocks a new area of Photoshop to explore. Starting with the Menu Bar, you’ll learn how to open, close, save, convert, resize, transform and make basic image adjustments.

Yes. Having a subscription to Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud) is necessary to be able to follow along to this introduction course.
Taking the course without the software will make it harder to practise the same techniques as your course tutor. Other, similar softwares, won’t carry all the same tools and features as Photoshop which will make training compatibility harder.
