“Just to say I think these tutorials are brilliant. I have been on various workshops over the years and have mostly switched off after a few minutes of techi stuff! But for me this is at the right pace and it’s sinking in!”
Sharon Harmeston – Photoshop For Photographers.
“Great pace. Outstanding depth of knowledge. Remarkably good communication skills from highly skilled professionals. And so relaxed in presentation style. These tutorials are master classes ☺”
David McLarnon – Advanced Photoshop For Photographers
“Hi Karl, a brilliant series of videos with Victor. I was extremely impressed with the visibly huge difference between the original and final version after a great many apparently small adjustments adding up to a very polished result. Whilst I do not shoot any fashion, I can certainly put to good use the information gained to improve and refine my own retouching skills within my business. I Exactly love the visual aids. Thank you Victor.”
Mark Eaton – Advanced Photoshop For Photographers
“Karl, you have no idea just how good this tutorial is. I have been tearing my hair out trying to find online courses for Photoshop that doesn’t jump from one concept to the next or over-estimate my basic knowledge of this software. I finally feel like I am in control of this learning journey now. Excellent programme on interface. Extremely well explained. Thank you.”
