I established this course assuming that you don’t have any former familiarity with Photoshop and this is the first time that you open it, while I have new methods that I'm sure Photoshop users will enjoy.There are 5 main goals in my classes.

First, you will learn Photoshop thoroughly and feel that convenient to use your creativity in your future designs.

Second, during classes, I'll remind you of the formerly taught skills to mention the true usage of the tools.

Third, to master all the skills that are related to portrait, from face corrections to fading the background and change its color. I even will note some clues on taking photos to make sure that if you want to have a job in portraying, then you face no obstacle.

Fourth, I put a complete project of manipulation in order to make a dreamy and well-qualified photos out of unqualified ones, so you'll witness that there is no limitations in Photoshop. So, in this course, you'll learn to use any photo and any part of a photo in another one.

Fifth, whether you are going to earn money by Photoshop or do it just for fun, this course is the fastest way to your goal. Because my lessons will be project-based and I used subjects that are absolutely useful and operational.

Besides, I record every click and key press on keyboard;so that you just concentrate on the lessons and enjoy it untroubled.

Now I should mention some points. First, Photoshop is a powerful software, which is designed to do many different things and it's used by so many people. Graphic designers, photographers, web designers, animators,...

Now the question is, if someone wants to only edit their own pictures, or learn some designing skills, or even work for a firm or company, or just work as a freelancer, do they have to learn thousands of options, tools, properties, etc. completely?

Absolutely not! You don't have to be a mechanic or an engineer to drive a car. to enjoy a trip and reach your destination, you only need to know how to drive and only a bit about cars. Second point is useful for all the activities in your life, and that is, if you want to learn something, it is very important to realize who you're learning it from. Do you want to learn from someone who's learnt it the hard way? And doesn't know any other way to teach you? Or do you learn from someone who's learnt things the easy way, and so they teach you the easy way? Let me go back to the driving example to clarify. Imagine you're learning how to drive for the first time. Now if your driving instructor has learnt driving the hard way, they'll make driving hard for you. What happens is you'll fear driving and you'll lose your learning ability.

Now if your driving instructor has learnt driving the easy way, they'll put no pressure on you, tell you the rules and let you be creative, and they'll only guide you along the way and tell you the important points when you need them. Which method do you think best helps you learn driving? The answer is clear. If you don't have any problems with learning, you'll learn to be a good driver in a month, instead of a year. So it's important who you listen to and who you follow. I didn't tell you these to conclude that you have to listen to me. It's been my honor to have worked in different areas through the years, being graphics, photography, designing, editing...., and I've been able to do my designs with simple and easy, and at the same time powerful and professional methods, and help my students achieve their goals easily and fast. I'm sure at the end of this fantastic course, you'll be the next group of students I'll be proud of. Ok, let's do it. See you in first lecture
