    Colin Smith is the best of the best. I have just completed the first few lessons and have learned something new with each one….and I’ve been using Photoshop for 26 years. Well done, Colin.

  2. jbaker9618 (verified owner)

    I have used Photoshop semi-professionally for the last 20 years. I never felt like I was really had a solid understanding of the program. So, I purchased and used Colin’s Photoshop 2020 series. His teaching style definitely works for me. With all the changes in Photoshop 2022 there was no hesitation on my part to get Colin’s 2022 version. From what I have seen so far it meets the high standards of Colin’s other products I am satisfied and excited to learn more.

  3. Steve Baldwin (verified owner)

    I have bought several of Colin’s programs and have also benefited from the countless free information he offers many times. His style is simple, direct, and easy to understand. I also got his 2020 course, but felt the time was right for a refresher as well as learning the new features in Photoshop. I just wish I could commit all of his great info to memory, but the good news is I can always go back to the program and get a reminder of how to do what I want to do.

  4. Ken Neilson (verified owner)

    Excellent so far. Much of the parts of the course have been covered before, But it is good to go over it again. My memory is not as it used to be. The course now allows me to revisit if I experience a particular problem. Thanks

  5. Jeff Macklin (verified owner)

    I am new to Photoshop and initially discovered Colin’s teaching style through his videos and live-streams for Adobe Lightroom. They were super helpful!
    So, I purchased his new Photoshop 2022 for Digital Photographers. I really like the “bite-size” nature of these lessons. The logical indexing will allow me to easily pick & choose the lesson I want for the day … and easily find something to review, in the future.

  6. Rohinton Mehta (verified owner)

    I am well versed in photography and Photoshop, though my Photoshop skill is nowhere near that of Colin Smith. Colin is the Master! In the recent times, Adobe has introduced several new features and continues to do so. I was hoping that someone would come out with a book explaining all the new features and how they work. But I realise that by the time a technical book is completed, new features would come in, which cannot be included in the book. Hence creating videos is the better choice.
    Colin Smith’s ‘Photoshop 2022 for Digital Photographers’ is what exactly I was looking for. It contains 81 small tutorials on different topics explained in an easy-to-understand way. I have not yet gone through each and every topic since I like to see the video of my choice again and again and then try out what is explained. Since each topic has its own video, it is very easy to select the topic you are interested in and learn from.
    The videos are sharp (on my 27″ monitor) and the audio is clear (unlike a video I had purchased a few years ago, where the author seemed to have some problem with his vocal cord).
    I would have loved if each step was also written down at the end of each video, but I know I am now asking for the moon!
    Thank you Colin for your great effort in explaining everything so beautifully.

  7. Glenn Upton (verified owner)

    I have been taking advantage of Colin’s excellent free tutorials since 2020 when I discovered him at Adobe MAX. Colin has a real gift for explaining and teaching and demonstrating that he does so well without talking you to death. Anyway I felt it was about time to give something back and bought this course. No regrets whatsoever – it was well worth it. Highly recommended.

  8. Mike Connors (verified owner)

    Great to have this course updated for the latest PS features. I have seen most of it before but, apart from the guru himself, who can ever remember how to do all of what PS is capable of? I keep it as a reference and am glad that, on the few occasions when he slightly runs away with himself, I can wind back and catch the (sometimes crucial) bit that I missed.
    Great stuff!

  9. Dale Davis, M.D. (verified owner)

    I am giving this one a 5 star rating for sure. I’ve been a follower and student of Colin Smith for many, many years. Of all of the videos and tutorials out there, Colin is the easiest to follow and understand. The format of this issue is easy to install, and to use, and the table of contents allows me to go to the issue I need rapidly. I can play and replay, pause, repeat, etc. This is money well spent for me.

    First time I have purchased anything from Colin. Glad I did! I have spent the past few days hiding from my family and learning more about Photoshop than I ever thought possible. In the past, I used PS warily and rarely, not really understanding how to navigate through it save for a few simple actions. Now, I am working on photos on one screen while watching Colin’s videos on another. The good news is it works. The bad news is I have lots of older photos to re-edit.

  11. Frank Everitt (verified owner)

    What a great package of tutorials. I use them as a great reference on a “how to do” basis. Just unpacked the tutorials and now they are all available for searching. Great teaching skills and the presentation is out of this world. If you don’t have this package of tutorials, you’re missing out. Absolutely worth the price….

  12. Janice Bradford (verified owner)

    This is a good investment in terms of both money and my time The demonstrations of “how” and explanations of “why” are better than any other tutorials I’ve watched. And the organization is so helpful… when I need to review a particular Photoshop method I can easily find it again. Thanks so much Colin!

  13. William Blythe (verified owner)

    This is the second package of Colin’s flagship Ps tutorials that I have purchased and I have been pleased with both. I started out as a complete Ps novice in Jan 2021 and after 3-4 months of frustration I discovered Colin’s Ps 2020 course, bought it and am glad I did. With all the new features that Adobe is ] pouring into Ps I was glad when his Ps 2022 updated course was offered and I bit. No regrets. Colin’s relaxed teaching style and the “real world” nature of his course makes it a bargain in my opinion. With Colon’s help I’ll be able to lose my Ps “training wheels” one of these days (maybe). Also Colin’s weekly Tuesday tips and Live from Lockdown (LfL) presentation are great as well and fun. Thanks Colin!

  14. Wendy McAtamney (verified owner)

    Those who have reviewed Colin’s latest tutorials have got it right. I’m very much an amateur but do so enjoy working with photos. It is so good to have tutorials that are easy enough for old amateurs like me to take in and put to good use.

  15. Jos (verified owner)

    As always well structured. Clear descriptions. Simplified as much as possible. In one word ” awesome”

  16. Minas Keukazian (verified owner)

    It’s a great course. If you what to learn Photoshop don’t look any place this is the best ,well structured.Highly recommended.Thank you Colin. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

  17. Allen Brenneman (verified owner)

    I recently purchase Photoshop 2022 and am very excited to learn PS better. I like the number of short video tutorials in the course that speaks to one specific area. It is easy to review a specific area instead of searching for a technique in a long video tutorial that I had purchased in the past. The other thing I really like is the focus Colin gives in his tutorials and no irrelevant chit-chat I have found in some teachers.

  18. Dave Buckheister (verified owner)

    I’m a long term Lightroom user, have always been somewhat intimidated by Photoshop. Decided to take the plunge in February of 2021. Learned mainly by googling, how do you do this? Colin’s tutorials always were the most helpful and beneficial and the majority of what I’ve learned has been because of Colin. This course is perfect !!! Thank you Colin. 5 stars, well done!!!

  19. Dennis Pegram (verified owner)

    And I thought that I knew Photoshop having given many talks to beginners and advanced at my camera club. Well having got stuck into Photoshop 2022 for Digital Photographers Photoshop Secrets, I can say I’m not surprised. Colin’s dulcet tones, (Scottish/NZ/US?), are leading me into areas of such creativity. Clear and concise tutorials explain how to use the exciting tools of Photoshop plus also reveal the many hidden gismos. My only request at this stage is with such a wealth of knowledge, can Colin also recommend how to improve one’s memory ability so as to absorb such facts. Thank you.
