Aaron is the real deal.
This is not for the rookies. I was a rookie once and this lesson is very accurate and advanced. This would have left me lost a few years ago. Intermediate for sure.

Amazing and fun to learn tutorial. In case you are like me and want to seek back and forth to find that thing you have missed:

1. Standard Layers: 03:05
2. Layer Masks: 09:13
3. Adjustments Layers: 13:00
4. Type (Text) Layers: 15:46
5. Clipping Mask: 20:50

I would recommend you to see the entire video though. It's fun and lots of tips inside.

[MrKlasssy]

after watching 3 years, that is the best photoshop tutorial on youtube. LOVE THIS full 30days videos

[tonyfdesign]

Layer organization is an overlooked skill. Super nice to come back to a project a year later and quickly navigate throughout the layers.

[MichaelKantormusic]

Still loving it. I will say this, you need to download the files. I usually never d/l files when doing tutorials, but this time I wanted to go all in. It makes a huge difference. I think you actually learn it when you follow along with the file and edit as he is editing. My .02 cents worth. Great job Aaron.

[nicolasmuts]

This guy managed to explain photoshop to me in 3 days where I've been struggling for 2 years in uni. Thank you so much!

[rj]

I’m going to have to watch this again, a couple of times, to fully understand all of this.

[linjencj]

I've watched lots of Photoshop tutorials before I found this. I can tell you this is THE best Photoshop tutorial you could find on Youtube. Better
yet, it's free. Thank you so much, Aaron! You are a great teacher!
