A beginner-friendly guide for total newcomers to build confidence fast.
Work step-by-step using the same images and files shown in the lessons.
Watch, pause, and rewatch every module whenever you need a refresher.
No fluff — just the essential skills you’ll actually use in real edits.
Photoshop can feel overwhelming when you first open it — we’ll break it down piece by piece. You’ll learn how to navigate the workspace, understand what all those menus actually do, and set up your screen in a way that makes editing faster and easier. No jargon. No confusion.
Layers are the foundation of everything in Photoshop. We’ll teach you how to stack edits, apply changes to just parts of your image, and use adjustment layers to correct photos without damaging the original. You’ll also get to grips with basic masking — an essential skill for future edits.
We’ll focus on the core tools photographers and creatives actually use. You’ll learn how to crop, fix lighting, adjust colours, sharpen images, and remove small imperfections with ease. Every lesson shows practical, real-world examples you can apply right away.
It’s one thing to edit a photo — but exporting it correctly is a whole other challenge. We’ll show you exactly how to save your images in the right formats, sizes, and colour profiles so they look perfect wherever you use them: online, in print, or in a portfolio.
Learning is faster when you apply what you’ve learned — that’s why we include simple but creative projects throughout the course. From stylising portraits to designing basic layouts, you’ll get to put your new skills into practice straight away and start building your confidence.

This Photoshop Photography course was produced using Photoshop CC 2024 but is updated regularly.
If you are using a standalone version of Photoshop (i.e. non-CC) you may find some tools featured aren’t available with your edition.
As Photoshop is updated with new tools and features, we aim update the course so that you always have the latest training available, but sometimes you might find lessons looking different to a current Photoshop version.

As time goes by, features and tools that appear in this course may have been moved/removed/replaced/updated by Adobe.
