There’s no shortage of Photoshop courses out there, but most (if not all) of them focus on Photoshop from the perspective of someone who does not use Lightroom at all. This means that a lot of information in those courses is either redundant (you don’t need Photoshop to brighten the Shadows in an image – you’ve got Lightroom’s Shadows slider for that) or downright missing, like information on how exactly to go from Lightroom to Photoshop and back. Because there’s a couple of ways: you can edit directly, edit as a Smart Object and then there’s also Open As Layers. And what do you do when you want to re-edit an already edited file? I show you all about this, including a couple of potential caveats, in ‘Photoshop for Lightroom users’.
Every video is self-contained, which means you can watch them in any order you like although I suggest watching videos one through three first.
