About the Photoshop course for beginners

This Photoshop course for beginners is for people who want to learn but freeze every time they open the program. It is short and clear: you get to know the interface, learn the tools you will really use and move straight to practice.

There are three guided photo edits, two composites, the filter gallery and a full lesson on colorizing a black and white photo.

What you will learn

  • Know the main Photoshop tools and what each one does
  • Use layers without fear, which is what unlocks the program
  • Edit images hands-on, from start to finish
  • Create composites and use the filter gallery
  • Colorize a black and white photo

Questions about the course

Do I need Photoshop installed?

Yes. To follow the lessons you need Photoshop on your computer.

Does it work with the current Photoshop?

The tools it teaches are still in the program and work the same way. What changed is the look of the interface, because the course was recorded in an earlier version. A new version is in production.

What language is the course in?

The lessons are recorded in Portuguese, with automatic Portuguese captions. There are no English captions yet, so watch the free preview on Udemy before buying.
