“As a beginner photographer with no guidance I thought I would be able to find the education I needed on YouTube. Maybe that is true, but after years of searching I never found a comprehensive fundamentals tutorial. This guide has all of the information you need to get started immediately!”

Colt M.
“Out of ALL the resources that I have downloaded, purchased or viewed this has been the ONLY one to get me out of my Photoshop "rut". The sad part is I purchased this almost a year ago and did not open until I attended the Portrait Masters this year and met and saw Pratik in person. After Sue's final talk with us, I decided I would use all the different resources I already had and stop being wasteful. I immediately came home and opened this and have been working the lessons every week. Thank you Pratik!”

“Couldn't stop watching!! I have taken in person and online photoshop courses over the years to improve my technique and to stay current with the changes that PS continues to make and this series is by far more comprehensive than anything I have taken previously. I love your explanations not only of what you are doing but also why you are doing it. Thank you Pratik...you are a master at your craft and we are so blessed to be learning from the best!”

“Wonderful! Pratik, you are so easy to follow and understand which isn't always the case when watching a tutorial.”

“Hi Pratik,
How much spacing do we need for healing brush, brush, etc?”
Janina A.
“Thank you Pratik for making it so simple to understand. Photoshop is such a complicated program and you narrowed it to the basics. I'd love to hear about using the "flatten button" and how you save and export your images. Wonderful tutorial!”
Mary Jane S.
“Love this series so far. I wanted to write in for those who can't find the LEGACY option in 2019. If you open the healing brush, you will see a check box that says "use legacy" on the menu bar. It's to the left of your sample drop down.”
Dylan S.
“just a simple question, in the actually Photoshop version I cannot find "Use Legacy healing algorithm for The healing brush" is it not possible anymore to switch it off ? than you in advance”
