I now have a lot of time on my hands due to the Coronavirus lockdown. It seems like it might go on for a few months for people of my age group.
I have found a series of 33 videos entitled 30 Days of Photoshop by Aaron Nace of PHLEARN.
I have been using Photoshop for a couple of years to make blended and composite images but have never learned the basics of the programme.
I have spent the last three weeks going through these videos and have the opportunity to build firmer foundations for my creative efforts.
I hope that this will give me more tools to help me deliver my creative visions.
Very much like you Chris, I am in an age group where medics see me to be more susceptible to infection than if I was ten years younger. That said and putting modesty to one side I do feel ten years younger than what I am, accepting that I may not look it. Hope you can understand that without me going into too much detail. I too have been spending more time than usual on the computer sinking deeper into Photoshop and thoroughly enjoying it, more than I thought I would. Lightroom was the application that I thought was the bee’s knees, but now with all this time on my hands I find myself editing in Photoshop more than Lightroom. Over the years I have only used photoshop for ‘phototrickery’. Not only does Photoshop have incredible power but I have since found the accuracy and gentleness of it. Thank you for recommending the 30 day course with Aaron Nace. Excellent series, simple to follow and understand.
