very clear lectures
easy to follow so far....thank you
I'm enjoying this course.
This course starts simple and builds and is so easy to understand. Having a great time.
Using the App I cannot remove the list of contents of this course form the right hand side during the video. Also..... impossible to load in Safari on my i- pad but it will load on my i-phone. This is only recently the case, though. Very annoying.
So far I have one complaint with the teaching. The constant interruptions during a lesson to tell us about shortcuts and other methods to do something, while I'm just trying to grasp the basic steps in a lesson.
This cause me to lose focus and and gets me off track and forcing me to keep pausing and replaying the tracks just to learn the lesson topic.
I feel it would be much better if the short cuts were taught in a single lesson, and the "other" methods to do the same effect taught at the end of each lesson.
It's extremely difficult for me to keep notes when in the middle of a sentence you start telling us about various shortcuts.
Because of the way I have to learn things, and due to the trouble I'm having with the above mentioned, I'm not sure I'll want to finish the course. I find it quite frustrating.
I would see nothing wrong with the teaching and quality of this course if not for the above issues.
Thank you,
John
De instructeur klinkt alsof het erg makkelijk, soms moet je moeilijke handelingen wel een paar keer zien ! Daarna klopt het uitstekend, en hou je het beter in gedachten, en denkt toch makkelaar !
Good and easy way to learn
Great course. I learned a lot. There is so much to Photoshop that covering it A-Z would be unwieldly but this course is great for someone with some PS experience.
Complaint: I asked a question that wasn't answered.
"How did you create the alpha channel for the cat in Section 2, #8?"
Not a problem. Many how-to's available.
Also, I had a problem with Section 5 Question 3:
"When you apply a gradient to a layer mask of a layer that has a blend mode applied, the effect will be as though some areas have a different opacity than other areas."
I chose False. The correct answer is True. Applying a gradient to a Layer mask was covered in Section 4; not 5. However, I believe the word, "Opacity," is subjective in this case.
I thought that the instructor was terrific and I have learned more from this course than any other I have ever taken on PS6.
