FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I Need to Buy Photoshop to Take this Course?

Yes. Having a subscription to Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud) is necessary to be able to follow along to this introduction course.

Taking the course without the software will make it harder to practise the same techniques as your course tutor. Other, similar softwares, won’t carry all the same tools and features as Photoshop which will make training compatibility harder.

Is this Course for a Beginner?

Yes! We’ve designed this course for someone who’s never opened Photoshop before but is very passionate about learning photo editing.

Maybe you’ve just got a Photoshop subscription but you’re not sure where to start – this course is for you. Maybe you’ve been using Photoshop on and off for a while but you never really branch out of using the same 2-3 tools – then this course is for you.

It’s the ideal course for total beginners to Photoshop!

Which Version of Photoshop Do I Need?

This Introduction Course for Photoshop Beginners was produced using the latest Photoshop CC. 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’ll also update the course so that you always have the latest training available.
