I appreciate channels like this, because I'm able to actually learn from someone who is clearly very knowledgeable and who will explain things in a clear way. Perfect timing as well, since I'm in college and my professor doesn't teach us ANYTHING. It's not so bad relying on YouTube when there's quality videos like this.

Hey! I am a self taught designer. Can't tell you how much I appreciate this series!!! Photoshop has been my WEAKNESS in the adobe suite. You're amazing at this! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Loving this series thus far. Even added it to a playlist for my own personal use 😊

[irhgsy]

I have learnt something new (and been reminded of something I’ve forgotten 😔) on every single session so far. Can’t see that changing. I am very grateful to you. Thanks.

You are an excellent teacher Aaron, thank you for sharing these lessons, it's much appreciated. Completely baffled why anyone would give a thumbs down to someone who is just trying to help!

Thank you SO much for putting together this series. I am very new to Photoshop and have been intimidated to start using it because of the magnitude of the app. You are an amazing teacher. The way you explain things is very clear and easy to understand. I am loving this series so far, and I can't wait to see how I improve over the next 30 days. I also appreciate that each day is in a time frame that is digestible, so that I don't feel overwhelmed with too much information. Once the 30 days is up, I am eager to check out all of the other videos you've created. Again, thanks for all of your hard work in putting this series together!

I listened to you on a podcast...think it was six figure photography. In that podcast, you explained that you don’t read our comments...that is too bad. You are a great instructor.

Why can you only like a video once😡😡😡. I have been doing so many things wrong. This was fantastic
