    I'm only half way through this class but I have learned so much! Khara is a very knowledgeable instructor and I would gladly take a class from her again!!

    Very helpful and practical explanation.

    After a 45 hour course on Photoshop which left me incapable of doing anything, this is so much better! The explanations are noob-friendly, the commands and shortcuts are repeated every time (which is more than necessary) and there is just the right amount of material to be able to do simple projects and get a bit creative. Thanks!!

    Easy to follow along without any prior photoshop training. Would like to have had a resource page of all the shortcuts, that would have been handy but I followed along and wrote them down for future reference.

    Khara packs a lot of info into this 2 hour class. She has the right balance of being friendly and conversational yet stays focused and on- topic. She shows several ways of doing actions or accomplishing a task. What I like the most is how she sometimes backs up and reviews what buttons she pressed or actions she just did. Even if you have been doing PS a while, you might learn some new shortcuts or new ways of doing a task. I could have written 4 or 5 pages of notes easily on tips. Sometimes she is a little fast and I couldn't see what exactly she did, but if you buy the class it would be great to pause and rewind a section several times. I would put her up there with Dave Cross as one of my favorite PS instructors who pack in info and won't put you to sleep.

    Another fantastic class from Khara! She is great at simplifying the complex. Class was easy to follow along. I created a wedding invitation within a week of purchasing this class. Goes great with her other class on designing invitations. I was able to watch both courses and design an invitation in Photoshop within one week with limited time in the evenings and one Saturday morning.

    I love this course! I go back to it over and over gleaning little bits of strategy and technique that Khara's shared and I know I can apply to a design project I'm working on. Her tips and tricks she gives along the way of teaching these concepts have really helped streamline my workflow. I could take a class from Khara all day long, she's comes through the screen as very personable and fun.

    I have a Photoshop Bootcamp that encompasses a few weeks of learning but I just haven't had the time and focus to sit down and go through it even though I know there is a ton of useful stuff for me in it. One thing I have wanted to do for awhile is to design cards using some of my photography and graphics/lettering. Khara's Invitations in Photoshop class goes right to the heart of what I needed to know in PS for this specific kind of project. I am not a complete newbie to PS but seeing her use various functionality in this context hit home for me. I'm glad I picked up this course and look forward to working on some of my own cards. Khara's is well-prepared and direct, she speaks well, is clear, gets right to the things you really need to know. In my opinion, she's a very good instructor for the Creative Live teaching format.
