Len Welch –
Rick Peterson has put together the best video presentation and tutorial I’ve seen on Photoshop Elements! Well worth your while if you have any question whatsoever about how to use Elements layers.
Daniel Lambert –
Easy to follow and understand. It does not assume that you know something or require prior knowledge, to complete the course. The only thing I found a little annoying was the constant reference to key board short cuts. Maybe only an early description of key board short is required. However, this is because I only use the mouse and drop down menus and this is peculiar to me. All in all it is a really great course and a basis for future reference.
Neal Kuehl –
Outstanding. The instructor was very much to the point and explained everything carefully. I will use this over and over to brush up my skills with “Layers”
Keith Coulthard –
This is the second time I have completed this course. Primarily to remind myself of the features I had forgotten. I was surprised at what I didn’t remember.
David Yoh –
It would be helpful if you provided copies of the examples that you use in your presentations. I have a two monitor setup; therefore, I can run PS Elements 14 at the same time that I am watching your tutorial. I like to stop your presentation and repeat what I have learned using my version of PS-E’s. It would save me a lot of time searching my files for similar photos (examples) used in the presentation. Since I have never used layer masks or adjustment layers, this was a terrific learning situation for me — Thanks.
Ron Braun –
This was an excellent way to learn about layers. The presentation was clear and logical. While I already knew the basics about layers the sections on adjustment layers, and their various options helped me a great deal. One benefit that I had was a second monitor where I could try each step on my own photos, duplicating the course. A very worthwhile class for me. RB
James Habersham –
Lecture and demonstration of what’s being taught are very clear. The examples are easy to follow and really drive the points home for clear understanding. The instructor is well versed in the subject matter, reiterates every point covered and always demonstrates other ways of accomplishing the same thing if possible. I highly recommend this course for anyone in the dark about how to apply layers to photos.
Glenn Ford –
Rick explains the course brilliantly. Every process is made clear in pure English leaving nothing hidden or ambiguous.He doesn’t assume you know anything but carefully and clearly guides you through the course as if you were sitting right next to him. I think Rick should do a complete course on photoshop elements, covering all processes, it would be a best seller. Brilliant !
Walter Szymanski –
The course is structured well for anyone wanting a solid understanding of how photoshop layers work. The instructor is very knowledgeable and provides in-depth explanations of how and when to use layer masks and adjustment layers. I would recommend this course.
Chris Abrams –
Very good and informative. Would like for it to have gone a few steps further but a very good class all the same. Rick seems like a great guy and I hope he does more classes.
Michele –
It was very informative and helped to clarify my confusions. Recomend this course.
Paul J Genin –
It was good and I will likely get another course by Mr.Peterson. However, one time around isn’t enough so I will need to go over the lessons again.
