Aborda os princĂpios básicos da cor, de forma clara e objetiva. Recomendado, para quem nunca viu sobre o assunto, mas já utiliza as ferramentas do Photoshop.

Excellent explanations of the complex concepts of color and the techniques to achieve outstanding color (HSL) effects through the use of layer masks and the appropriate PS tools. I would find a way to highlight the brush tool outline and the pointer, perhaps by making them a different color than they are in PS, so that we can see where you are with the brush and the pointer at all times. In addition, sometimes the flow values were not discussed or visible. Learned a great deal. I will take you other courses after I work on these images and then some of my own. Great job. Thanks, Larry

I have taken many courses and most of them always end up focusing on ” How to use the tools ” and ” How to apply certain techniques or effects ” .. But in the end when we go and try it later for ourselves, we soon realize that it doesn’t look very professional.
The reason this keeps happening to you, is the lack of theory and concept about color and luminosity and composition. So no matter how well you learn how to use the tools, if you don’t have the theory and concept, you end up using the tools incorrectly. This is why we struggle on achieving the strongly desired ” Professional Look ” we all want from our pictures.
I really like and recommend this course because Kasia ( the instructor ) always focuses very heavily on the theory and concepts of photography. You will learn profound meaning of many things and learn how to achieve results by helping you develop your artistic side, rather than your dexterity with the tools.
Kasia, I hope that you continue making courses this way and keep focusing on what I’ve just told you. Must instructors keep teaching us ” How to use the tools ” … But what we really need to know is ” Why ” do we need to use the tools.
If you need more detailed student feedback, just send me a message and I will happily tell you more about what is it exactly what we need and what we’re looking for.
Thank you all for reading and thank you Kasia for this great course.

Great instructor. Very good in explaining why and how she does it. I’ve learnt so much about channels and selective color adjustment. Really hope to see more examples from her. Overall, it’s a great course. Thanks Kasia 🙂

I enjoyed both learning and participating in this course and do intend to apply the knowledge gained to my own photographs. The course instructor is very knowledgeable and concise with her teaching and guidance.

No entra en profundidad en los temas principales, por ejemplo, no da indicaciones de cĂłmo manejar el peso visual del color. Por otro lado entra en cosas no relacionadas con el color como la composiciĂłn a travĂ©s de encuadres, luces y sombras, etc… Que está muy bien, pero el tĂtulo del curso deberĂa ser otro.

I love the way Kasia Zmokla explain her techniques and the way she always uses real examples to demonstrate them.
Kasia pace is slow, perfect for all audiences, I normally go through her courses at 1.5X speed.

What a very good Photoshop tutorial, surely I learned a lot from here and greatly improved my editing skills.
However, there are only two examples and the trainer is a quite boring the way she speaks, that makes me delayed to finish this training and thinking if I will get another training from her.

1. I really enjoyed the theoretical part of the course. I’ve been interested in the subject for some time, Kasia’s approach to it gave me some more reflections. There’s a lot of examples (real-life photos) to visualize the theory, and they’re really pretty pictures.
2. The part about conversion in Adobe Camera Raw is well organized: you’re getting the list of the crucial operations you should perform and the reasons why you should do them in the package before going to Photoshop.
3. The two exercises in this course allow you to learn post-processing portraits. The list of the tools used in each is not overwhelming, they’re quite easy to follow, you can finish this course without any knowledge of Photoshop. I like the fact that similar tools used for both female and male portrait led to different results.
4. I like the clarity of this course and Kasia’s supportive attitude towards the person taking it – I really recommend it.

Like all of Kasia’s courses, I found this course to be quite enlightening.
Thank you for the thoroughness with which you explain step by step. Quite valuable.

I have seen numerous other videos on this topic of color and this program is in a class by itself….a very careful, well organized, and thorough treatment of topic areas by a very talented teacher. I don’t know where else you could get such superior quality at this price.
