Layers and Masks

The program clearly reviews all the benefits of learning and using Photoshop. The benefits of going back and reviewing the different videos to answer questions you may have. Really like this program.

Layer Upon Layer

This is not the first, or probably the last, Photoshop learning program I have used. Photoshop is a huge program filled with many different features to help you improve your pictures. If you are not skilled in the use of complex programs such as this you will not be aware of the many, many things you can do with Photoshop. Having someone explain many of the features and how to use them is absolutely essential. Each new course I use opens new uses to me. I plan to go back and improve many of my earlier efforts. Thanks for providing this class for me.

Great Class

Each lesson is very short and to the point. Nicole explains everything in very easy to understand terms. I bought the class because I am weak on masking.

I recommend Layers and Masks 100%

I recommend Layers and Masks 100% to beginners and experienced Photoshop users who have had questions but weren’t sure where to turn. Nicole’s videos give information about layers and masks and then shows how everything fits together step-by-step. Whenever I watch a masks and layers video, I don’t have questions related to the content because Nicole’s videos are professional and clear and frankly a joy to watch!

Best Photoshop Course Ever

Over the years I have taken several Photoshop on-line courses. This course is, by far, the best. What makes it the best? (1) It is technically superior; sound quality and display are first rate, (2) It is divided into short modules which makes it easy to remember and a lot easier to find what you want when you want to review material, (3) Nicole's soft style is pleasant to listen to listen to; no jarring movements or harsh sounds, (4) and most important, the editing is superb; it is clear the Nicole put a lot of thought and time into the entire course; very professional and very user friendly.

An excellent source for learning Photoshop masking

This course is excellent. There is no better online photography teacher than Nicolesy. The course content, Nicolesy's teaching methodology, and clarity of her course materials are unparallel online.
