    Colin Smiths Photoshop 2020 For Digital Photographers
    is a great way to learn Photoshop. His style of teaching is second to none as his explanations are clear and precise.
    You always learn something new even if you are proficient in Photoshop. His tutorials are also a great reference too as I don’t have to go searching the internet. Everything is there.

  2. Traci Brennan (verified owner) –

    Well worth waiting for! I am halfway through the content and am so happy I purchased the course.

  3. Stephen Lyon (verified owner) –

    Colin Smiths Photoshop 2020 For Digital Photographers;
    This is a very comprehensive training package, you have all the time you need to understand and benefit from Colin’s vast experience & knowledge of Photoshop, something he is willing to share at a very reasonable price, even his free tutorials are up to the same standard as the paid for one’s.
    I have tried reading the manuals; but I have found it easier to follow Colin’s work flows to do what I need to do but allowing me the flexibility to work my way.
    Excellent work Colin please keep it going.

  4. Colin Smith (verified owner) –

    Hi there, This is a video course, not a book. However there are written instructions included in this course for Frequency Separation, Luminosity Masking and High Pass sharpening.

  5. michael traina (verified owner) –

    Have been looking at Colin’s site for a few years now and have a tried a couple of his tutorials,
    and have not been let down once. So after getting a copy of his 2020 Digital Photographers package
    I was really pleased to have a wide variety of lessons and a huge amount of information. I could never remember
    everything here and why should I when the way Colin explains things makes each lesson easy to listen to.
    Highly Recommended.

  6. John Rockey (verified owner) –

    You make all of your tutorials so easy to follow. Splitting them up into modules allows me to go back and review just the task that I am having trouble with or want to improve upon.
    Keep up the great work.

  7. Steve Baldwin (verified owner) –

    I’m about half way through. Lots of valuable stuff. Just hoping I can remember enough of it to do what I want when I need it. The good news is that it appears to be laid out so that I can go back and review specific techniques when the need arises. This tutorial will be useful for a long time. I will say I’m glad I have two computers so I can watch the exercise on one and work on the sample as we go along.

  8. Roopesh (verified owner) –

    Colin is the best when it comes to photoshop or lightroom skills. I just bought photoshop secrets course a week ago and went through some of the lessons and I am already enjoying them. These are short to the point lessons and great reference material if you struggling for a particular issue and just want to quickly refer a lesson. Thank You so much Colin for putting this together. Its well worth the money.

  9. Gary Allen (verified owner) –

    Colin has been posting lessons online for FREE for a long time now. So to show my support and thankfulness I purchased his latest product–2020 Digital Photographers package. Now I have all his knowledge at my fingertips. A wonderful, organized tutorial. AND he always adds something new! I never stop learning for him. Thank you, Colin.

  10. Gary Wheeler (verified owner) –

    I am at lesson 37 currently, just going through to get a flavor. I will go back and “learn” certain parts for whet I use Photoshop and Lightroom as I guess a hobbyist although I use for some of my consulting work. Colin has a way of presenting the information that fits well with how I like to learn. This is an excellent way to catch up on all the changes made to Photoshop. Keep up the good work!

  11. Sarah Goddard (verified owner) –

    I’m not even halfway through the course but I have learned so much already. Colin makes Photoshop easy to understand. I have played around in Photoshop for a couple of years but Colin has really opened my eyes to what I can actually do with it. I’m very glad I purchased this very worthwhile course.
