  1. Rolf S. (verified owner) –

    Impressed by your quick update to ACR

  2. Marc Feldesman (verified owner) –

    Great course. Clear and concise

  3. Niru Karia (verified owner) –

    You are the BEST I love to learn from you

  4. Marvin V. (verified owner) –

    The approach of sticking to learning and practicing every day for 30 days is as important as the material covered! Finally, I am getting over my fear of opening Photoshop because I can’t remember how to do something.

  5. Brian L. (verified owner) –

    Quite frankly Blake this is the most watchable and comprehensive course I have used. It’s also very practical and ‘realworld’ (and a bargain!)

  6. John (verified owner) –

    I learn several minor tips that will help me going forward.

  7. Tomasz Tomaszewski (verified owner) –

    Dear Blake, Your course is very helpful, logical and well structured. The only comments I have are regarding the speed at which you speak. Someone who buys such a course has time to listen to the lessons in full, no matter how long it lasts. So there is no reason to hurry so much. It would also be good if you showed more keyboard shortcuts that you use to show the next steps.
    I would also limit fragments of your speech in which you convince us how valuable this course is. They are too insistent and rub against commercial uselessly. Thank you very, very much. Tomasz

  8. Cor van der Linden (verified owner) –

    Good and clear intro to Photoshop.

  9. charles d. (verified owner) –

    Excellent idea for a course, Blake! I felt I knew how to manipulate the different tools within PS, but you have really opened my eyes to different aspects of different tools and you have brought me light-years ahead on color in general. I am following your instructions concerning doing one lesson a day then practice. Concept works very well for me. Adobe would be wise to offer your course to folks that really want to learn PS. Thanks again and well worth the price for the course!

  10. Eugenia Mills (verified owner) –

    I have just gotten a good start with the course, and already have learned much. I have used Photoshop for several years, and knew I was not making great use of it. This course has been helpful even though I am not yet half way through it. Thanks for sending the revisions when PS upgraded recently.

    I applaud your soldiering up and rechambering for this new iteration of ACR. I imagined . . . getting the alarm at 02:00 and racing out to the flight line to get airborne, and …What! All the gauges on the cockpit console are in different places! Well done for getting off the flight line on time. Oh, I have had the pleasure of your lectures for years. Kudos, sir.

  13. Simon (verified owner) –

    I really appreciate the videos you provide. I am much more confident using PS then I was before. The lessons are clear and very informative .. Thank you for all your help!!

  14. Felix VANDENHOUTE (verified owner) –

    Clear and perfect ! Thank you
    Felix

  15. Alan Morris (verified owner) –

    Thorough! Very good so far. Working on the New Camera Raw. Very close to the Lightroom experience. Spacing and working on the lessons in between is a good strategy. I am a long time user of both LR and PS but need to improve my PS skills when needed. Blake’s enthusiasm is contagious and spurs the desire to learn

  16. Rolf Sjรถlander (verified owner) –

    I’m in day 13 and so far it is very good

  17. jude (verified owner) –

    The concept of this course is brilliant because after watching each daily video Blakes gives you homework which means practicing what you’ve learnt that day until it is fully understood before moving on. Blake has a unique way of teaching which makes it enjoyable – I can thoroughly recommend this course and I have found it a great refresher and picked up lots of new tips.

  18. Solvi Bragason (verified owner) –

  19. kent Techritz (verified owner) –

  20. Rein Stoel (verified owner) –

    Some parts are not very clear, for example the Action.

  21. Albert van der Teems (verified owner) –

    At this moment I follow the day 8 lesson. My thoughts about this course so far, the video’s replaces all the books I ussely buy to learn something. To see what the teacher wants you to learn and then follow on on your own computer, an eye opener. For all the future buyers, Blake is a reliable vendor, mid June an update for ACR, and 2 days later, an update for this course, amazing. Again, my excuse for this poor English. Albert, the Netherlands.

  22. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    I am at third of the way, and am liking the course very much. Although I know the photoshop quite much but have not practice it. Your course has been encouraging me to do just that. In addition it is providing subtle details that I did not know. You have also convinced me to use bridge and photoshop instead of lightroom. Lightroom is great program with a lot of headaches – finding where my pictures are?

  23. Michael Franklin (verified owner) –

    Enjoying it so far. Taking it slow, especially changes to ACR.

    My only suggestion would be to slow down you presentation – it is hard to follow where you are in the menu system and I loose how you got there or what you did. It is familiar to you but less do for your audience.

    As always, your material is first rate.

    Thanks

    Michael – Canada.

  24. Ed A. (verified owner) –

    Blake is a Magician…. this course, finally, opens the door to Photoshop for me…. I am a devoted Lightroom user…. and now I can add the power and substance of Photoshop for the coup de graห†ace!

  25. Mike Cameron (verified owner) –

    learned something new and updated for ps update

  26. Francis Dorsemaine (verified owner) –

  27. Ian Dodd (verified owner) –

    I have followed Blake from the early days of HDR, and have never been disapointed with any of his Tutorials. They are well planed and thoroughly descriptive making the effort of overall satisfaction most rewarding.

  28. Allen S. (verified owner) –

    At first glance you might think this course is too simple, but once you get into it you find that its a great way to learn Photoshop by building on one piece of it at a time.I’ve taken other courses but this one is sticking with me.

  29. Leentje (verified owner) –

    So far it’s worth every penny !

  30. William Foy (verified owner) –

    I really like this course and the only reason it doesn’t get a five is that Blake is TOO PASSIONATE. He gets excited and the speed of his speech speeds up and becomes difficult to understand for someone like me who’s using Cochlear Implants. He explains things very well but I’ve had to repeat many sections in order to understand all of Blake’s instructions. The improvement in my images was evident to my family and friends within the first four lessons. Would I buy this again? ABSOLUTELY! Do I think it’s fairly priced? ABSOLUTELY! Do I recommend it to others who want a thorough, in-depth presentation of ACR and Photoshop by an obviously enthusiastic user and teacher? ABSOLUTELY!

  31. Daniel F. (verified owner) –

    As usual, your trainings are well documented, and each step is explained and is easy to follow.

  32. Walter Bratton (verified owner) –

    great so far

  33. Lynne F Murphy (verified owner) –

    Blake is thorough and explains the important aspects of Photoshop as we work through it. His enthusiasm, knowledge and precision in his explanations make Student mastery within reach. I have taken a few courses and bought books on Photoshop and Blakeโ€™s course has and is the most helpful In my opinion. His tips on workflow is just what one needs navigating Camera Raw and Photoshop. Most appreciated!

  34. Lawrence Cross (verified owner) –

    I rated 30 days at the ‘4’ level because nothing is perfect. This is the course I have been searching for, it satisfies all of my desires and the fact that I can view it over and over absolutely is terrific. Thank you.

  35. Jagdish (verified owner) –

    I’m a self taught PS user. Whilst I have watched numerous tutorials on the net, I always feel I learn more watching Blake’s tutorials. He’s taken my editing skills to another level. Thank you, Blake.

  36. Tom Wall (verified owner) –

    Suspect this is going to be a valuable long term reference source rather than just a 30 day event. Highly recommended!

  37. Al Thompson (verified owner) –

    Finally, a training series that brings it all together. The content is clear and delivered with Blake’s straight-forward style and support material. A very easy to watch and learn format. In the first video alone, learned three techniques about Adobe Camera Raw and those items alone have made this purchase worthwhile! It’s like having a good friend drop over to help you learn PhotoShop. Additionally the newest version of ACR had hardly arrived via Creative Cloud and Blake had updated videos in my “In box”. That’s customer service! Thanks Blake, you’ve given me insight and confidence.

  38. John M. (verified owner) –

    I arrived at day five. I hope the rating will stay at this level.

  39. Betty-Lou Luyken (verified owner) –

    Blake’s way of educating is phenominal. His enthousiasm resonates through all of his videos and that enthousiasm is contageous. I follow lots of other photographers, but Blake’s way of educating resonates the most with me. He makes everything very clear and – very important to me – he educates from an artist’s perspective, which gives me the oppurtunity to grow as an artist.

  40. Robert Ryan (verified owner) –

  41. Kent Ervin (verified owner) –

    I am working my way through as I get time, I have found several different things to help me.

  42. Bud Henderson (verified owner) –

  43. Alden F. (verified owner) –

    Some great stuff here. I’m on day 10 because I went back to the ACR vids after the big update. Thanks for getting ACR lessons updated so quickly Blake. I also really like the Blend Mode lessons, starting to make more sense with your explanations over Adobe’s.

  44. Dimitri (verified owner) –

    The course is really well made, your way of explaining everything is always very clear and understandable even if I discover most of it for the first time. Yet I have a question for you : the new version of photoshop just came out litterally four days after I purchased the course. I suppose you will update the contents for that version; would I have access to the updated course? My concern is that I got the download version instead of the subscription. Please let me know. Thank you, and congratulations for the high quality training you offer.

  45. John Bergstad (verified owner) –

    In the beginning, the course needs info on importing, and saving image files to Br and also moving files between LR, Br and PS. Sometimes my images did not go automatically back into LR from PS so I had to use the Apple search function to find them. What causes that? Was it because I edited image in Camera Raw before going to PS? Did it happen because I first opened image in Br and then continued to PS?

    Also, to me, you speak too fast and sound too anxious; you already sold me on the course. Listen to the cadence of your buddy Matt K.; it’s more relaxing.

    I do think you are offering very useful information and I look forward to continuing with the course.

  46. Evert (verified owner) –

    This course was a real eye-opener, I really love the way you explained the many possibilities of Photoshop. It will help me to make better images.

  47. Peter Hopkins (verified owner) –

    Still very early, very positive thus far. Look forward to completing the remaining 20 days.

  48. Nils Elsner (verified owner) –

    The material is, as all your other tutorials ,easy to follow.I am not a beginner but apart from the repetition you have a lot of tips and tricks how to do things in maybe another way that i should have done..
    This is really good, It is exactly what i want.
    I have been on a vacation so i have only studie the 7 first lessons and now ia have to go back toe new ACR chapter. Which is of course new to me. I really look forward to the last chapters to see how you tie everything together.

  49. Davie Sharp (verified owner) –

  50. Ryan Webb (verified owner) –

    This was a very thorough yet fast paced class. What I liked most was when Adobe had a big update to Camera Raw and he went back through all the Camera Raw lessons and redid all of them to show the updated version. That was real cool of him to do and shows that he cares and not just doing it for the money. Definitely worth the money!

  51. Paul B. (verified owner) –

    Just completed day 8. So far so good. I appreciate how quickly you updated the ACR videos. I was totally lost when I tried to do Day 4, but you came through with flying colors.

  52. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    Excellent course for all photographers, by a true expert and outstanding teacher.

  53. Brian Andrews (verified owner) –

    Although I am only about 1/3 of the way through this course, it has already proven to be THE BEST purchase I could have made in an effort to improve my PhotoShop skills. I have already learned a great deal and have essentially reset my approach to PS. It is nice to be able to work your way through at your own pace with the ability to practice and, if necessary, repeat portions. I highly recommend the 30 Day to Photoshop Mastery. Blake has a unique and thorough methodology that makes everything come together perfectly.

  54. Mike M. (verified owner) –

    As ever an excellent well thought out product from Blake. It has helped me a great journey in my quest to master the essential tools in Photoshop – the bite size lessons are brilliant. Well done Blake.

  55. Ed (verified owner) –

    I am a Photoshop journeyman and have bought and benefited from a number of PS courses. What Blake does in this course which is different from others is he takes a bottoms up tool oriented approach. His philosophy with this course is that you will become significantly more proficient in PS, regardless of your level, if you get to know and practice (what Blake refers to as Deliberate Practice) the tools themselves. This course doesn’t replace other courses but augments them by taking a very different approach. I am only on day 12 of 30 so far and have found the course extremely beneficial. Blake is an excellent teacher who breaks each lesson into small pieces. I highly recommend this course to any photographer who does not yet consider themselves a PS Master. The course fee is money well invested!

  56. James Gill (verified owner) –

    Took the course and wanted to have it permanently available to me. Great stuff Blake!

  57. Mark W. (verified owner) –

    Really well thought out programme of courses. Admittedly I’m only on Day 10 but I’ve learned so much already. The concept of doing small, targeted, chunks of course work each day makes learning much more agreeable. Additionally, breaking it down like this also makes these great reference video’s.

    One more thing, on a personal note about Blake – after Adobe radically changed the ACR interface, Blake immediately created new course content to cater for these changes which he made available within a few days after ACR’s release. Wonderful support Blake, thanks.

  58. Thomas (verified owner) –

    I purchased the downloadable version so Iโ€™d always have the material available to review. This course is very complete in content and presented in bite sized bits for consumption and individual practice. If youโ€™ve struggled with trying to make sense of Ps, this program is for you. Blake is one of the best Ps instructors youโ€™ll find.

  59. Wayne Henson (verified owner) –

    Really getting a massive amount of knowledge and inspiration from the package as I have with all the f64 packages I have purchased. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks Blake as I understand the work, effort and commitment that goes into developing such comprehensive systems

  60. Angelina (verified owner) –

    So far it’s great. It’s helpful the way you explain each and every button in the RAW workspace and how to use them. I’ve been using PS for a long time and am still learning. I am only on day 5 but am learning lots already.

  61. Brian (verified owner) –

    Absolutely amazing , Blake. you seem to keep outdoing yourself. I hadn’t realized that there were so much ways to be creative in Photoshop. A fantastic learning experience! Thanks, Blake. I always enjoy your courses.

  62. David (verified owner) –

    Concise and informative as always.

  63. Clive Reah (verified owner) –

  64. Heinrich S. (verified owner) –

    Well done! I appreciate your teaching style very much.

  65. Taff Greeves (verified owner) –

    Clear,concise,succinct,a great understanding of colour.A great military style of instruction.On a personal note a little fast in delivery.Reason for my choice of purchase.(one off ) I have to do it in my own time.Great production.

  66. R.S. de Jonge (verified owner) –

    Very instructive video’s + training

  67. Thomas Ford (verified owner) –

    Fantastic course from a fantastic teacher! I’ve been deeply into PhotoShop for over 5 years and had thought of myself as being pretty good with the software; until Blake offered this course. Blake has taught me things about Ps that I never would have found on my own. He starts out with Adobe Camera Raw and simply builds on what you learn each day. Now I use ACR on each of my editing projects before proceeding into Ps. Having been around Ps for some time I tried to sneak a peek at Clipping masks, for example, because I had heard of it but never really understood it. Sneaking a peek didn’t work. I didn’t begin to understand how it applied to my editing until I worked my way through each day’s lessons. Then, I understood it. So just take it day-by-day and practice, practice, practice. You won’t be disappointed. Well worth the cost of the course!

  68. Gary (verified owner) –

    Excellent course. I needed a refresher on Photoshop. With the recent upgrades to Camera Raw I found it would be a good choice to move away from Lightroom and totally use the modules of Photoshop.

  69. Bev Rae (verified owner) –

    Breaking photoshop learning into 30 days with 30 lessons is a perfect way to learn. Blake is a very good teacher and the class was just what I needed to get started editing photos in photoshop.

  70. Clay Enos (verified owner) –

    Blake … Great job on this course. I am only about half way through the modules, and they are jam packed with useful info, even for a veteran PS user like me. Your dedication to your customers is top notch as shown by your quick updates to the videos with the new release of Photoshop.

    This course is perfect for as a review for one who has been away from PS for awhile, but I would recommend it for all those for all photographers who enjoy learning new skills and/or approaches to PS editing.

  71. Malcolm Higson (verified owner) –

    All looks good, I have made a start, but then daily life got in the way.

  72. Charles Colpitts (verified owner) –

    So far, so good, still working my way through the lessons. Looking forward to blend modes and blend if.

  73. Patrick McCloskey (verified owner) –

    Blake Rudis is an exceptional educator. He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and he genuinely wants to teach by sharing his knowledge. He brings all his talents to his course “30 Days to Photoshop Mastery”.

    He leads the student slowly and purposely through the vast majority of Photoshop as it applies to photographers. His explanations are clear and are delivered with an infectious enthusiasm. The accompanying notes complement the video presentations.

    After each video, Blake sets the students tasks to achieve based on the lesson. These are a great way to consolidate the learning.

    Towards the end of the course, he pulls together all the lessons to demonstrate how the individual skills work together to produce great images from raw files. His integrated approach is both logical and commendable and, after following his workflow videos, everything falls into place.

    I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn Photoshop either as a complete beginner or an intermediate user. I guarantee you will benefit from it.

  74. Richard Tonkin (verified owner) –

    I’m finding the program easy to follow and very informative. Each step is shown slowly giving time to take it in and this is really helpful.

  75. Bill Wiley (verified owner) –

  76. Lyra H. (verified owner) –

    Blake is a clear and compelling instructor. The 30 Days to PS Mastery course is broken up into very digestible sections with excellent examples and useful “homework”. I enjoy his teaching style and find it extremely helpful to better understand a complex tool like Photoshop. I have gained all sorts of good tips and can use PS more easily and effectively.

  77. Holly B. (verified owner) –

    5 days into the program, as a total newbie to Photoshop, learning SO MUCH!

  78. Berhard Simon (verified owner) –

    I have been using photoshop for quite a few years now, but have not delved very deeply into it This course has made me aware of the advanced features that were there but I did not know how to use them. I now have a good foundation to build on to proceed in my photoshop learning journey. This is a great course for beginners to advance users, you will always learn something new. Blake is a great instructor who explains things in a clear and precise manner. But that said one has to practice what you learnt – the course alone wonโ€™t make you an expert.

  79. Errol Wilson (verified owner) –

    Blake, I am just on day 5 working it by your recommendations. Please allow me to do what my mother taught me to say, “Thanks”.
    In 5 hours I have learned more about ACR than the time I have spent trying to understand it since it’s introduction. Blake Rudis, you are probably if not the absolute master of explaining and teaching this art.
    Thanks.

  80. Larry Jones (verified owner) –

    Just finished Day 7. You go quite fast. Usually listen to the video twice and some parts more often. I use LrC
    so the format is different from Adobe camera raw. Sometimes I have to watch a youtube video to see another explanation of how something works. I am going at my own pace. I like the discipline and hope to complete the entire class. I have been using Ps for about 15 years. I have learned quite a bit already.

  81. Markus (verified owner) –

    This course provided me a solid base and understanding of the Photoshop tools on which I now can build to further improve Photoshop mastery.

  82. Michael (verified owner) –

    I am pleased so far, I am taking my time with each day, starting with day 4, I like the pace and the nature of the instructions.

  83. Gabriel Mouynes (verified owner) –

    It goes at a slow pace giving enough time to practice each PS command. If forces the student to go step by step rather than jumping all over. Very GOOD course.

  84. Andy C. (verified owner) –

    I just finished lesson #5. I have been using Photoshop now for 12 years or so and thought I was pretty good. I was completely blown away with Lesson 5 on ACR local tools. I can’t believe what I have been missing out on. I will be re-watching this lesson several more times and practicing for a few days now to master it. I can now see that for most of my photos I will be able to finish them off in camera raw and never have to go into Photo Shop at all.

    Thanks, Blake. You did good with this course.

  85. Ronald MacDonald (verified owner) –

    Having watched your first 17 tutorials I now have a much better understanding of Blend if, Clipping Masks and Selections and masks. Great value for money and well woryh doing.

  86. John Alvarez (verified owner) –

    Blake’s courses are amazing. His enthusiasm for the topics and his ability to explain the details simply make his courses a pleasure to engage. I have been a serious user of Photoshop for a few years, and I have learned more from a couple of Blake’s courses than I have with the many others that I have engaged. He definitely is a gifted teacher.

  87. Ronald Coleman (verified owner) –

    A lot to learn here. I always enjoy Blake’s courses and videos.

  88. Joy F. (verified owner) –

    Blake, please slow down – you talk too fast. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I highly recommend this program. It is well worth the money for the knowledge Blake imparts. I would give the program 4 ยพ stars if that was allowed. The only reason I downgraded the program from 5 stars is not enough information on Bridge, IMO.

    I would recommend spending some more time on Bridge (other than just the overview) since this is the best viewing, sorting, marking program I have ever worked with. Just the overview has inspired me to clean up my photo library of duplicate photos and begin tagging photos using Bridge. Since I have literally thousands of photos and tagging came out after I had built my photo library, I have avoided tagging, for the most part. With Bridge, that’s a different story. Now I don’t want to move on in the course until I learn Bridge.

    That said, the course outline is super and I have already learned so much more about Photoshop. For example, working with the Creative Cloud version of Photoshop, I now know there is a website available to me where I can show my work. That’s part of the package. Never knew that.

    I have used Photoshop since level 4.0. The Creative Cloud version, although based on previous Photoshop versions, is so different, it’s an entirely new program.

    Forget HDR. With Photoshop Mastery, you will learn how to shade to make your shot memorable. And Blake shows you some of his original camera shots so you can see the changes Photoshop can make to create something special and memorable. And salable, if that’s the direction you wish to take. Blake emphasizes that you are creating a special moment for you. You are the most important critic of your work. If you like what you create, regardless of what others think of your work, that is what matters most.

    In this course, Blake teaches Bridge, Raw, and Photoshop. These are the three component programs that make up Photoshop. Blake teaches a new subject per day over a 30 day period, but I prefer working at a slower pace so I can truly absorb the lessons. Each lesson is one subject only and about 20 minutes long. Then Blake leaves you to use the information he has given you that day. Subjects include Adjustment Layers, Clipping Masks, Opacity and Fill, Color Range Selections, Filters for Creative Effects, Smart Objects, Actions, and Workflows, to name a few.

    Yeah, I know. You’re saying you know all that stuff. Even if you consider yourself a Photoshop expert, I would recommend this course. It’s the best for both beginners and experts.

  89. Stan (verified owner) –

    I have been using ON1 for the last 2 years & Lightroom purchase prior to that. I was totally frustrated with ON1’s issues and not a fan of catalogs. After your recent webinar (excellent) I thought I would give Photoshop (only) a try. I just finished Day 8 and I am extremely happy with your course and your teaching methods. I am really excited and look forward to all of my future lessons. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

  90. Larry (verified owner) –

    Right off, this course that Blake put together is comprehensive yet very well organized and direct. Blake does not waste time! This course has been very beneficial to me and I know that I can always go back to specific lessons for reference as I continue to learn. Thanks, Blake!

  91. John Pascucci (verified owner) –

    I am up to lesson eight and have never felt so comfortable using Photoshop. I always used Lightroom and used Photoshop for small corrections I could not accomplish in Lightroom. I never knew the power of Bridge. I love the bite size lessons and being able to work on the same photos to secure the knowledge not just watching a video telling you about it. My new work space in Photoshop is amazing. I have recommended this course to several of the members of my camera club and to friends interested in photography. I look forward to starting a new lesson each day. Blake thank you for such a great course. I am sure that it will make my editing so much better. I look forward to taking you Palette 3 course when I finish this.

    Loving it! Going to take me a bit longer than 30 days ๐Ÿ™ to pick it up but not a problem – can’t rate the RAW GPS or profiles yet as haven’t used them yet but having some great results already with just using the straight editing in Camera Raw.

  98. Kathy White (verified owner) –

    This course has been the best Photoshop course that I have purchased. I have been trying to learn Photoshop for a few years now and have purchased 4 different courses. This course is the best and easiest one I have found. Blake’s way of teaching has made it easy to follow and he explains how and why things work in Photoshop. Even his tone voice is pleasing to listen to!! He is excited about what he is teaching and so knowledgeable. I am so happy I found him and I am finally learning to use Photoshop faster and more efficient than I have after many years of frustration with other classes. Thank you Blake for a great product!!

    I am only on day 4, and need to practice some more.

  100. Michael T. (verified owner) –

    Wow, I’m only on day 11 and I believe this course has already saved me months of frustration. If you are sitting on the fence, get off that fence and sign up. Signing up for this course is one of the wisest decisions I have made in 2020.

  101. John Greene (verified owner) –

    Excellent explanation of various topics.

  102. Malcolm S. (verified owner) –

    Not always up to doing everyday but great they I can catch up if I want. Good clear instructions and an enthusiasm for the subject make learning possible even for me.

  103. Mike Groarke (verified owner) –

    Excellent course from Blake. Iโ€™m still going back through it and finding things that rock.

  104. Robyn (verified owner) –

    I’m almost half way through this course and am so impressed by Blake’s teaching and presentation, I’ve wanted to learn Photoshop for years but always felt overwhelmed and never knew where to start – now I’m well on my way. Blake has a knack for simplifying complicated things and explaining them in an easy to follow manner (Blend IF for example!). I’m thoroughly enjoying every lesson and will be signing up for his other courses too down the track. So glad I found this course!

    You promised that I didn’t need to know anything about photo shop. There are times you use acronims without like HSL without the definition, two lessons later you explained. Also some of the most basic actions you say what you are doing but using magic fingers I cannot see what button or tab you hit. This is my third attempt at learning Photoshop and this class is GREAT. By lesson 11 I already have a better working knowledge from you than finishing the other courses. I too am an educator, and I am using that term for you as a compliment. Keep up the good work.

    Iโ€™m applying each lesson to my photos. Blakeโ€™s method of teaching and my โ€œmethodโ€ of learning mesh. I have learned more about layers in a couple of days than I have in using Photoshop for years. Blake opened my eyes to the Portfolio module in Photoshop. Thank you Blake.

    An amazing program. The series is broken up into manageable sessions, logically sequenced. Blake Rudis is an excellent teacher. His explanations are clear and succinct. He walks us through the application of Photoshop tools at a comfortable pace. And you can always go back over the videos as a refresher. I learned enough about Camera Raw in Lesson 3 to warrant the (discounted) price of the entire program. Iโ€™m working at my own pace, being sure Iโ€™m comfortable with each skill before moving on to the next Lesson. Iโ€™d be interested in other programs that Blake moderates. Bravo. Worth every penny – you can quote me.

    I started using Ps when it was available by subscription after having used Elements for several years. I am now relying less and less on Lr and have determined to master Ps. Your videos on ACR and setting up Ps workspace have already given me a much stronger foundation. It’s going to take me more than 30 days! Also, thanks for all the great tutorials on You Tube.

    I don’t normally write longer reviews – but this one deserves the effort
    I purchased the 30 day PS mastery class. Only up thru day 12 so far – but am very impressed – explanations are clear and the short class followed by homework is a very effective format. I have used PS since it became a subscription (before that I used elements for a long time) I have also watched more than 100 Adobe Creative Challenges and taken a few in person classes -so I felt pretty familiar with is. This class is far better than anything I have done before. I am familiar with many of the tools being presented – but have learned how to use more efficiently and apply them in new ways. Not getting out as much with the virus thing – so I won’t get as much chance to use these skills as I would like – so it is great to have the downloaded videos I can go back to any time I want. Highly recommended!

    Right now I’m doing the PS Summit class, which as you know is very intensive. I wish I had taken yours first. So I’ll do yours next, which I’m hoping is more basic. I have a lot to say about “learning” if you are interested at some point in the future. P/s is a bear if all you learn is a bunch of tools. A more global approach, goal oriented works best. 1 to 5 ratings are a beginning, but a more indepth analysis might be more useful.

    First off ,your teaching method is excellent and learning is comfortable and effective in each lesson.You teach with such enthusiasm for others to learn that how could we not.
    You are filling in all the missing pieces for me and the things I thought I knew, I now understand very well and everything with my photos is instantly more fun and exciting to work with. After each lesson I notice the progress and it feels good.Thanks for that.
    For me it will be a 45 day course at least as I am very tied up with my more than day job, which brings me to this..I purposely searched the comments before I purchased as I knew I wouldn’t keep up every day and was wishing it to be downloadable and when I discovered that it was,I didn’t hesitate to buy. I think if you were to announce it as “downloadable” from the beginning , it would be a help.
    I still have plenty of lessons left and enjoy each of them.I am already sure you’ll be getting another big Thanks from me again when I reach the end of the course.
    Thanks Blake.

    I caught this on special for $67 so well worth the price of admission. It does a great job of introducing you to the various aspects a novice needs to know about Photoshop. I’m very happy with the education, especially the Blend If function that I now use exclusively for sharpening and noise reduction. Do plan on spending and hour or two dong the homework; that’s where the real learning comes. A simple assignment like “Play with the filters.” can take hours or even days. I also purchased the Zone System Express panel and education when it was on sale for $147. I really needed this course to use that panel. I plan on joining f.64 academy in January 2021 and then using the member and special discount 30 Days to Photoshop discount to purchase the remaining effects panel and the presets and profiles. Check this first: My understanding is that as an f.84 member you have access to this course as well as many others. If that’s true, well worth $20 a month to access this program alone.

    Very informative. I really enjoyed the entire course. You can clearly see and hear how passionate he is in his teaching methods and the joy he gets from providing the information.The only comment I did find, is towards the last few days, or maybe just actions, I am even laughing while writing this. He gets a little excited and doesn’t necessarily race through the steps, but listening to him speak…lol he is racing a little verbally. All I thought was take a breath Blake! get a drink!
    Again though I loved every aspect!

Your teaching style makes it easy to grasp, and the bits of humor you throw in makes it fun. I don’t have a lot of time to devote to photoshop, which made it difficult to learn. Now I have gained more confidence by watching just a few lessons. I am excited to get through all of them so I can finally work on my photos. Many thanks for a great course!

    The most outstanding thing about this thirty day workshop is how Blake teaches it. His lessons are easy to follow and, a pleasure to follow, and they are a pleasure because when we learn we are experience pleasure. This is that. More than that, I am loving it. Beyond that, I am astonished to know Photoshopโ€™s capabilities, and I only know that now because of what Blake has taught me. There used to be a time, before Blakeโ€™s lessons, when I would finish a picture, but it was not exactly what I wanted. Now, since his lessons, I am completely satisfied with my finished product….From this time forward, if anyone wants to know Photoshop, I send a link to Blakeโ€™s fantastic Thirty Day workshop.

    Blake Rudis is an animated guru. Some of the photoshop instructors I have watched are better than Ambien. He is so smart, technically knowledgeable, and unpretentious. I am starting to learn a lot more about the physics of color that I have missed in the years. He should minimize his hand and gestures though because my eyes flicker too much watching him.

  150. Arnold W. (verified owner) –

    I have been using Photoshop since version 3 (not CS3, the original version 3) and have gotten quite good results. After watching just a few of the videos in Blake’s course I realize I have wasted countless hours brute-forcing my way through techniques that these lessons show me how to accomplish with a few mouse clicks. Things are going to progress a lot faster now!

    Great course! I am fairly new to photography. Over the past few months, I fumbled my way through figuring out what I needed to know in order to help with post in photoshop for my Wifeโ€™s 360 Virtual Tour business. I have since, purchased a DSLR and gotten into photography as a hobby as well. I have gone thru the course a little quicker, because some of the lessons covered material that I am doing on a regular basis already. Even in those lessons, I picked up helpful information that I was not aware of. I purchased the course on December 15th. Today, (December 27th) I have 4 lessons left before I complete the course. It has helped me tremendously! I have recommended it to several others. Unless you are a graphic designer or someone that uses PS on a daily basis, you will find this course is where you should have started. I have not been doing this long, but I can not begin to tell you how much time I would have saved and how much better my edits would have been had I taken this course in the beginning. If you have ever wished you could do the type of editing you see others doing, or figured out how to do something in PS, but thought, there has to be a better or easier way to do this, this is the course for you!

    The course gradually builds on what you learned in previous lessons, adding new features with each progressive lesson. Prior to the course, I felt LR was a necessity for editing. Now I see that I can do everything I was doing in LR, in PS and have better control and precision of those adjustments. Blake is good about showing you different ways to accomplish the same result, but some will prove to be difficult and challenging, while others will be quick and easy with better results. You will be given practice images and assignment to practice completing the same task different ways so you get first hand experience as to why one way is better than another.

    I’m on Day 10 and have learned a lot because the material is presented in an orderly, progressive package. I will feel more confident using Photoshop after this course. I would like to see specific ‘homework’ for each lesson, versus just ‘experiment with it.’ Perhaps 3 assignments, with a specific goal in mind for each, would help solidify the lesson.

    SUPER GREAT. Have been using photoshop for close to 30 years. The bulk of the years was as a Newspaper Photographer. Mostly pre-press work. The paper I worked for (Detroit News 0was one of the 1st to go into the digital. You had to teach your self in those days lots of fly by seat of your pants. Since retirement I have been editing photos and laying out pages for a Railway Historical Society, starting to work up photos I shot in the 1950s and 60s of my own…. Not completely happy with my results. partly because there are many areas of Photoshop I never used… So about time to relearn Photoshop from the ground up. Your 30day program fills that task extremely well.

    So many courses are aimed at the “kids” that a old Goat like me does not all ways relate to the instructor style as well as I would like to. Your style gets to us all “dinosaurs” as well.

  166. John Levengood (verified owner) –

    I am learning so much that I never knew existed in Photoshop. I’m only on lesson 16 and can’t wait to try out the new concepts on my own photos. I’ve been using Lightroom for ever because I was intimidated by Photoshop. Aside from the typical Photoshop tips and tricks that a lot of educators teach I am learning so much about color theory and tonal theory and how to pull the viewer into the photograph. Finding Blake has breathed new life into my photography journey. Can’t wait to see where this all leads!

    Excellent teacher using easy to understand methods and examples.
    I have been using Photoshop since when it was called Photo Deluxe (a 3.5″ diskette was included with the purchase of a Panasonic camera). I have kept up-to-date with the evolution of Photoshop but because I am self-taught I have been using the wrong approach to attain desired results. Blake’s teaching will make things a lot easier for me… once I break away from old habits!
    I only wish that the 30-day course would include the latest version of Photoshop cc 2021 because some of the essential things do not work with my version (cannot use ALT-Click to copy and paste a mask from one layer to another) but that would mean updating all the courses constantly to keep up with updates.

    I have been diving into lots of websites, purchased courses on Lightroom and Photoshop, got gropup and private instruction, and traveled with photography workshops. Basically, the gamut of an effort to bring myself up to speed on a new art form that I started 6 years ago. Although there were several purely technical skills I was chasing, the combination of art and technical backgrounds brought me up to speed quickly. What was clearly missing was not how to do use my camera, nor the art of composition. What I was missing was in post processing: How to look at my photos and decide what was needed to make sure my viewers looked where I intended, and how to translate that decision to software actions.
    I met up with Blake Rudis at the Photoshop Virtual Summit 2021, which fortunately led me to acquire โ€œ30 Days to Photoshop Masteryโ€. I still have, as Blake encourages, lots of exploration and practice ahead of me. But Blake has provided me with the means to find what I was missing. He is a highly skilled teacher who clearly understands that learning a set of tools for modifying an image is secondary to figuring out why modification is needed.

  171. Mary Hulett (verified owner) –

This is the best investment I have ever made toward understanding and applying Photoshop in my processing.

    I thought this was more of a beginners course. Some of it is but a lot is more advanced. You also tend to talk to fast and race around in the various parts of Photoshop clicking and picking options at a very fast pace which makes it hard to keep up. It seems like you go off subject at times which for me makes it even more difficult. On the other hand I can see why you are popular with your regular audience.
    To sum it up I did learn some good stuff but I didn’t get everything that I was looking for. I can see why you do so well as your passion for teaching is second to none.

    Fantastic. After 15 of the 30 days (and going back to prior lessons for additional practice), I feel like I am beginning to “master” Photoshop. The videos are are easy to understand with examples to illustrate the features of Photoshop. Each lesson even had homework. The progression of the lessons was logical and built on previous knowledge. I am looking forward to the next 15 days, understanding workflows, and using Photoshop on my own photos.

    I have been struggling with Photoshop for years. I have almost exclusively used Lightroom in the past to edit my landscape photography. Blake has put together a very thorough presentation of Photoshop. He does a great job of giving you bite sized pieces of a very complex program and provides hands on learning lessons along the way. I have thoroughly enjoyed 30 days to Photoshop Mastery. I am by no means an expert but as I grow in my knowledge of Photoshop I have his lessons to fall back to on my journey.

  191. John Pollock (verified owner) –

    I began photo editing ~3 years ago with LR and have used PS mostly to focus stack. After semi-learning PS online with paid and YT courses, I assess my skills as only fair minus. The first week of this program was mostly a review. A sliver of confidence was developing. Then on day 10, Darth Rudis lowered the boom by introducing Blend modes followed by Blend If. I have spent a week reviewing days 10-12, and I donโ€™t think I have progressed one iota. I finally pressed on into Masking, a much simpler concept. After previewing the remaining classes in the syllabus, I think the Blend classes should have been much closer to the end.
    If youโ€™re considering buying this program as a complete rookie, go ahead if it is still on sale. However, I recommend you download and save it, donโ€™t start it yet and get other instruction first. I think this is my 3rd or 4th program and it is cleaning my clock. Good luck.

    Hi Blake,
    Your 30 days of Photoshop Mastery has become nearly a 60 days course for me, lol! I am 72 years old and trying to master photoshop for years now by following `experts` on youtube and colleague photographers. But never to my satisfaction, i am sorry to say. You made it very clear if you want to understand anything, in this case photoshop, you have to put in the effort…So now i was back at the Bayer filter and understood finally it is all a matter of calculation from there on. As usual you build up always from scratch and that is finally the only right way i.m.o. So it toke me nearly 60 days (due to my age, no doubt) but now i can say ; The foundation is set!
    Thanks for just another great course!

    Very thorough and easy to understand (half-way through so far). Always like Blake’s enthusiasm and knowledge of Photoshop and how he will explain a subject and then re-explain it for emphasis. And before you know it, you are doing complex editing with the tools Blake explains. Practice images included are also very helpful in that they are the same images used in the instruction. Not scary at all!

    So far so good. I like that the module is self paced. I am on section 4 now and I like the ease of understanding the video shown. I have not yet got the the hard learning, just the introductory sections.

    Excellent course, presented well, taking you step by step through PS, great examples, tips and tricks. Worth every penny

    Only on day 15 but so far it has been great!

    Really excellent course. I had stepped away from Photoshop for a bit and needed a good review. This course was excellent, no matter your level of expertise that you came to it with. Do exactly what he says, practice the lessons before moving on to the next one, and you canโ€™t help but come away from this a much better Photoshop-er. Very clear instructions and excellent demos. I highly recommend this class.

    I’m not quite halfway through but am very impressed with this course.

  216. Pamela C. (verified owner) –

    I am on Day 15 and so impressed with the clarity of the instruction. Bite size steps, easy to follow and PS finally is making sense. Thanks Blake, I love your teaching style.

    Blake made this course flow for me, a total novice to Photoshop. The daily discipline and homework have made the complexity of Photoshop understandable, as I practiced on the sample photos and some of my own. I can’t speak for someone with more Photoshop experience, but I suspect, they would discover new tricks and tips that would also help them.

  219. Andrew Rix (verified owner) –

    I’ve been using Photoshop since it first came out but I learned new things right from session one!
    I haven’t yet finished the course but I think it’s already paid for itself in my increased efficiency and effectiveness!
    Highly recommended!
    You may not think you need this course – but, like me, you probably do.

  220. Jan (verified owner) –

    I am on Day13 now and so far I am very impressed!

  221. Hernando C. (verified owner) –

    It’s a good course. Have into account that it was recorded in 2020 and several things have changed. Still the course is worth the money paid.

  222. Craig Machholz (verified owner) –

    You have a great voice and tempo for explainingโ€ฆso far Iโ€™ve spent most of my time going over lessons one, two and three. Your suggestion for using Portfolio was fantastic! So thank you. You come across as a normal dude that is down to earth. Your passion comes through the mic very well.
    Iโ€™ll finish this workshop and give you my final thoughts when Iโ€™m through it..
    Thanks again

    I purchased the 30 Day to PS Mastery through a Facebook promotion, so did not pay the full price. That said, the content and presentation of the material is excellent. I have been a long time PS user (going back to CS5), so some of what is covered I already know. But relearning what “I know” in context to what I do not know, and am now learning, is huge. My workflow is evolving to incorporate what I am learning, and the bar for my end results is being raised. So even if I paid full price for this course, I would still say cost is a bargain.

  224. Keith Roberts (verified owner) –

    I believe there is a phrase โ€œyou donโ€™t know what you donโ€™t know until someone points out what you donโ€™t knowโ€โ€ฆ. This was abbreviated to โ€œeveryday is a school dayโ€. From lesson 1 I was hooked by this non patronising teaching style. Building from the ground up with the simple techniques is a must in any subject. I am up to day 12 and have already seen improvements in my colour adjustment technique. Im really looking forward to the rest of the classโ€ฆ. Great Job..

  225. Kenny Breiner (verified owner) –

    Great.

    I had some experience in PS. These videos are excellent and explain things in a clear and concise way. They have increased my knowledge of PS processes considerably and can highly recommend them. I won’t say I remember them completely, so I will need to refer but to certain videos when I need to and this is a bonus with them being in small appropriate sections. Once I am confident enough to move on, I will be looking at other courses. Thank you Blake.

  227. Alastair Scott (verified owner) –

    This is a superior course. Thank you Mr. Rudis.

  228. Robert T. (verified owner) –

    I am thoroughly enjoying the wonderfully laid out course for PS. Each lesson is filled with more information than you think you can handle, but it will be useful when you get into your own photography work. Anyone interested in learning Photoshop should definitely take this course. Well worth the money and time. Blake has done an amazing job of putting this together from his years of work in the field.

  229. Richard McIntyre (verified owner) –

    Extremely well presented! Thank you

  230. Jerry (verified owner) –

    I am almost 3/4 through the videos. The course of instruction is excellent with every detail explained thus far. I had dabbled with CS over the years but never knew I would learn so much I didnโ€™t know. This is definitely recommended if you want to learn Photoshop CS. I donโ€™t use Lightroom as DXO PHOTOLABS is my main editing software. You would not be disappointed. I usually wat the video first then watch it the second time following along with the lessen files then practice before the next video. Learning so much and so much more to go. He also shows that that are multiple ways of doing the same thing to achieve what you want. I wish I found this years ago.

  231. Lyra H. (verified owner) –

    Blake’s Photoshop Mastery course has made me feel much more competent in PS and provided me with a wealth of tools. The videos were informative and the ability to practice on the included photos really helped to cement the info. VERY well explained and approachable manner. GREAT COURSE!!!!

  232. Kaye (verified owner) –

    Am a beginner Hard to follow some things you do Stuck on 4 and 5 lesson

  233. Jeremy Wright (verified owner) –

    Blake is the best instructor I have come across so far. He makes everything easy to follow and very logical. The course is simply awe inspiring and I could rate it highly enough. Blake makes the difference though. He goes the extra mile and makes sure you are happy. Brilliant.

  234. Steve W. (verified owner) –

    I was a bit sceptical of the offer but I needn’t have been. I’m still in the first week and have been very impressed with the quality of the instruction and supporting materials. I had an email query which I sent to Blake and I got a reply within an hour or so which was quite impressive. So, whilst I’m a long way from mastering PS yet, the foundations are going in and its much better structured than trying random YouTube videos or even a certain ‘PS Bible’ you can get from Amazon which has been of bery little use. I think Blake has the right approach, you need to learn the PS ecosystem, it is far from intuitive and you need purposeful practice to get the basics in place. Recommend based on my experience so far.

    Loving it. Bite size chunks put across in a way that is easy to understand, thank you Blake.

  237. Gary G. (verified owner) –

    An excellent course that helped me understand Photoshop better. I will rewatch some of the lessons because I feel that I may have missed some things. My only complaint is that you go too fast at times, but I’ve learned to slow down the video. I also think the ACR lesson should be two or three parts. I’m not ready to purchase any of your panels yet, as I want to get a better knowledge of the tools before using the panels.

  238. Colin Rankin (verified owner) –

    A really clear and easy to follow tutorial series, that gave me a much better understanding of Photoshopโ€ฆ..highly recommended ?

  239. Dirk UYS (verified owner) –

    VERY GOOD AND PUT EVERY THING IN PERSPECTIVE

  240. Jacques D. (verified owner) –

    So far so good. I love the tone from Blake. Since I am new to Photoshop coming from Affinity Photo I am learning concepts that I never use in Affinity. I really like the Blend If sections. In Affinity this is called blend ranges but never really use it. Now I will use it a lot. Also the section on the Clipping masks which I find pretty exciting. I am far from completing the course but I would recommend it to anyone and I am about to buy the course The Unrivaled Blend If course. Thank you Blake.

  241. Cindy M. (verified owner) –

    I have worked through the first part of the program and I am TRULY enjoying it.

  242. Karen S. (verified owner) –

    I’m only on Day 12 and I have already learned so much. It’s exciting to see how I can make my photos better with some of the things I’ve learned. Blake is an excellent teacher.

  243. Thomas S. (verified owner) –

    Have used multiple resources trying to achieve solid working knowledge of Photoshop. Blakes 30 days to Photoshop Mastery has been the best step by step learning tool for me. I am taking my time to absorb as much as I can so it will take me more than 1 month to complete but that is okay. Blake has a very easy to follow teaching style and I feel confident that the time I invest will pay off.

  244. Lynn Ingham (verified owner) –

    Excellent so far just work through my lessons

  245. Gary Sulcer (verified owner) –

    Outstanding workflow with easy to understand principles, examples, and answers to any questions which might arise while taking the Photoshop tutorial!!

  246. David Adams (verified owner) –

    Very informative, easy to follow, and very comprehensive and detailed in how to go about getting best results

  247. Janice (verified owner) –

    I am only 4 days in to the series and it has already made a world of difference with my images. I’m so impressed. Blake’s slow teaching style is perfect to help you master the skills in each video before moving on to the next video. Can’t wait to see what my images look like after 30 days, if I’m already thrilled with them after 4 videos.

  248. Jean McMillan (verified owner) –

    Explained in such a way that makes it easier to follow and understand, thanks for that, and the fact I can go at my own speed is a plus.

  249. Chan Garrett (verified owner) –

    Wow! Was I surprised. I thought I knew Photoshop well, but in even the very first video I learned things I had not known before. In fact, every video I watch reveals even more that I had not known. I am beginning to learn how much I have been missing.

  250. Bente (verified owner) –

    een using Photoshop for 20 years now. Although I never considered myself more than intermediate in my skills, I felt I was coping very well. But this course has given me lots, lots of extra hacks and practices that I have found extremely useful and helpful. Thanks Blake.

  251. Steve Njavro (verified owner) –

    I’ve been working with Photoshop for years, bumbling about on my own, missing a few key terms and ideas. I’ve taken other courses in the past that never covered these terms and ideas. Blake did a great job of developing and explaining the most important terms, tools and workflow in an easy to follow way. Thanks Blake, you made my work life easier!

  252. Michael Richardson (verified owner) –

    Having “toyed” with Photoshop for years and used a few of its quicker edit processes, I was never aware of the full extent of its capabilities. Unless you have command of the program basics it is nearly impossible to assimilate all of the recent AI upgrades to photoshop into your editing processes. Blake Rudis, through the f.64 platform provides a very user friendly build-up of the knowledge and skills necessary to display your photography artwork in your most creative presentation.

  253. Douglas (verified owner) –

    Excellent! Easy to follow and learning a lot from the modules.

  254. Norman Lamothe (verified owner) –

    Great in depth covering of PS Am a beginner on layers so this is eye opening to me

  256. David MCFARLANE (verified owner) –

    Excellent step by step approach to Photoshop. Blakeโ€™s approach is easy to follow and the ability to review lessons on a
    Minute by minute basis makes learning much easier than a simple discussion on a point.

  257. Ken Johnson (verified owner) –

    Love it. This provides me with the knowledge and post processing skills I have been striving for but have never quite got there yet.

  258. Dan Riley V (verified owner) –

    Let me first speak to the quality of the teacher. Blake, from my experience, is as committed to the student as he is the craft. Extremely responsive to emails and ALWAYS there to help. I mean, on weekends, whenever. As a business owner, I know the sacrifice it takes to commit to this kind of communication. But what stands out to me about the course is how thorough it is from start to finish. What’s more, he’s a great communicator and thoughtful in his approach to consider the person who knows little to nothing about post production. I could not be more grateful both for the course and the opportunity to have someone like Blake in my corner who has demonstrated a genuine desire to want to see me improve my skills as a photographer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  259. Karen Hudnall (verified owner) –

    I have been using photoshop for many years. Most of the time self-taught. Using Blakes courses etc. for several years I finally decided to really go back to some basic foundation stuff. I purchased the course after considering it for a couple of years. I am still in the middle but I am really glad I did.
