Description
Hello!
My name is Chris Parker and I m a
photographer and graphic designer that has been using Photoshop professionally since 1991
. Yes, I m that old. But, that just means I have a lot of pro experience to share with you.
I ve also been teaching other creative artists on how to use Photoshop for the last 10+ years.
This course includes 7 Photoshop courses in 1! Learn Photoshop retouching, image editing, portrait editing, portrait retouching, RAW retouching, JPG retouching, photo editing, special effects and more.
Check out what a recent student had to say about this Photoshop course
Chris is obviously very much in love with what he does. This is equally important as knowing stuff and being able to teach stuff, in my opinion. I am 100% satisfied with this course. He responds to questions within a day! And he obviously cares about what his students think. I totally recommend this course for beginners. He covers everything and he seems to know everything about photoshop.
~ Busra
and another
A heart felt thanks to Chris Parker for such a comprehensive Adobe Photoshop course. Highly recommend course for every photographer & graphic designer to become more creative and productive.
~ Hassan
and another
I have already done several courses with Chris and I think he is a great teaching professional. To be a good teacher, not only do you need high technical knowledge, but you also have to know how to communicate it to the students.
Also, in my case, the English language is not my native language, I appreciate very much that Chris speaks slowly and with a "neutral" accent, which allows me not to have to "rewind" because I have not understood the sentence in English. Thanks, Chris.
