    Game-changing for me. I'm fairly "young" as far as my photography journey is concerned and even "younger" with regard to editing. This course opened my mind to the artistry, exploration, and fun of editing. What a lucky break to find and take this class while also learning how to use Lightroom.

    I loved this class. Color theory on its own was a bit boring for me. But this class tell me how to relate it to photography. Total game changer! Plus I learned some wonderful new tools in Photoshop!

    I am trying to expand my knowledge of the Colour Theory in photography and this course has been a great foundational tool in developing my understanding. I am confident that this new knowledge will allow me to take my post-processing techniques to the next level. I would highly recommend this course to everyone.

    I too wish it were longer and even more in depth, more examples, but it's great

  • Farino A. Sep 25, 2020

    Recommend this class! Learned a lot in less than 2 hours. And Blake, what a great teacher. I'm going to follow another course by Blake. Tnx!

  • E G. Sep 13, 2020

    Great class! Now I understand more colors.

  • Mark S. Jul 23, 2020

    Of the notable aha! moments in this class - the one that affects me most is the realization that my knowledge of the additive color wheel and the subtractive color wheel aren't enough to deal with PhotoShop - Blake's Digital Color Wheel is the way PS works!

  • Sarah S. Jul 6, 2020

    Great class! I wish it was longer, because Blake has such fantastic information to share, and his enthusiasm is inspiring. Very much worth the time, although it is best if you have some basic knowledge of Photoshop.

  • Fernando C. Jul 6, 2020

    I liked very much!!

  • Maricel Q. Jun 29, 2020

    Incredibly interesting and very well-explained. Can't wait to experiment with all of these concepts.

  • Brenda K. May 16, 2020

    Excelent!

  • Y. Mar 14, 2020

    Incredibly informative! Exactly what I was hoping for in a class to go from the color wheel to applying those principles behind the photoshop sliders I’m afraid to touch

  • Clare M. Jan 27, 2020

    Excellent. Blake's style is easy to watch and very informative.

  • Ellen B. Jan 1, 2020

    Excellent!

  • Nobbys P. Jan 1, 2020

    I enjoy the way Blake sticks to specifics and one can never get bored listening to his tutorials as he holds ones attention. Loved this tutorial got a lot of positives and learnt so much from it - thank you Blake

    Awesome class on Color Theory and Color Interactions. If you want to go deeper in this subject it is good. One Note: This class spends more time teaching HOW to modify colors in images in PhotoShop, (using filters, using layers, using masks, etc) and less time on the actual THEORY of colors and their interactions. Cool handout files too!

  • Jason P. Oct 11, 2019

    This class is a shorter one, but absolutely incredible!! I learned so much and playing around with colors has never been this fun!!

  • Kevin J. Oct 3, 2019

    Color theory that stuck this time!! This is a game changer! Never again will I have a boring sunset is an added bonus.

  • Emmanuel G. Aug 25, 2019

    Extremely informative video. I will never look at color the same way.
