You’ll also learn about compositing, texturing, and retouching skills, like removing shine from foreheads in portraits and seamlessly joining images together.

By the end of this course, you’ll have professional-level Adobe® Photoshop® skills that will set your work apart from the competition.
Software Used: Adobe Photoshop CC 14
Very good course. The teacher is very good. The issue is that this course is getting outdated and should be updated for year 2021.
My version of Photoshop CC does not work correctly in Refine Edge. I have been following along with the instructor but when I paint the tips of the bird provided as sample images, the selection is not corrected - it is merely increased... Please help. The course itself has been good but I have a critical error here and don't know how to solve it...
After buying Ben's Mastering Masks in Photoshop, and having watched it numerous times, I have kept an eye out for all his other tutorials. I shall gradually grab all of them, but in the meantime, this Advanced course is outstanding. Even the details of Camera Raw and its good bits, I can translate into Lightroom, so nothing in the course is wasted. I am very impressed by the logical, uncluttered instructions and how many new things I am learning. Thanks Ben.
Verry good
While you should take all of Ben Willmore's classes, this one is especially amazing. No matter how much you think you know about Photoshop, this class will prove you wrong. This is one I could watch over and over and learn something new every single time.
nice
The best investment I've made to improve my PS skills. Mr. Willmore is a skillful lecturer. English is my second language and I appreciate the clarity of his voice and the fact that he repeats several times what he's doing or what he did. It is great for note taking as well as for practicing. Just an Excellent workshop! Thanks Mr. Willmore!
Every time I return to this Class to refresh my understanding of PS, I congratulate myself for having bought it. I have learned SO MUCH with this class!!! It is worth every single penny and more. Thanks Professor Willmore for sharing with us your knowledge in such unpretentious manner that it is a pleasure to watch. Olga Celle, Lima Peru.
Best $100.00 I have spent!!! The class is easy to follow with lots of examples and demonstration. Ben Willmore is fantastic !!
Excellent class - quick pace, clearly applies the technology being taught to potential uses - an aspect often overlooked by Photoshop teachers. The how-to of buttons and menus is useless without direction in suitable applications. Very nicely done.
I think Ben Willmore is fantastic. He makes the difficult a lot easier. PS I thought he was going to let purchasers use some of his photos but I don't see them in the list of extras.
Course was excellent. I didn't take notes because Ben said they would be provided with course when you purchased it. So far the notes are not here. Hopefully they will be soon.
Ben made everyday retouching look simple. Great class. Highly recommended.
Great Course! Ben can teach Photohop! Fabulous.
Great course great teacher, wish I had it 20 yrs ago, Hermanm
I watched several of the segments and thought they were very good. Learned quite a few things I didn't know about. When will the additional class notes and image files be uploaded to the site for those of us who purchased the class?
I absolutely love Ben Willmore's teaching style. He is clear and thorough. This class has a wealth of good info so I had to purchase this course. Thanks Ben and Creative Live!!! PS, Don't forget to forward the PDF. I am waiting patiently.
Outstanding!!! I've been interested and have practised photography since I was Thirteen. Transitioning from film to digital. Ben's course taught me so much I had to purchase it! There was just too much information he passes on. As an instructor, Ben is very clear, concise and thorough. Ben makes sure you understand the concepts; what a great educator! Thanks Creative Live!!!!! Thanks Ben!
I have enjoyed all of Ben's Photoshop classes. He explains every necessary detail and does not waste my time focusing on himself. I am a beginner photographer, but feel much more confident after listening to both his videos -- the Essentials and Beyond the Basics. Also, I will be listening to them again when tackling a particular situation. I was not able to download his photos to edit them. Will that information be posted soon? Thank you Creative Live for your programming. I wish I had found you sooner. Marcela Stegemueller mstegemueller@gmail.com
Ben never fails to provide excellent instruction for Photoshop. His teaching style makes the beginner and the experienced go "AH". Thank you Ben for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome class, I purchased both classes after I watched the first, I knew the second one would be great also... Thanks
Great course to watch. I've been working as a photo editor in the industry since 2007 and this course showed me things I never knew how to do. Its a critical thing to be updated with the newest versions of software because of how powerful the tools have become, it will help speed up workflow.
I was one of the in-studio students, and, I was in his first class too, Ben was great, bringing everything to life in Photoshop, showing step by step on how to get what you want in PS. I would like to thank Karen for sharing Ben with us. I'm also looking forward to watching the bus get built. Again, Thanks Ben...... Randy Nelson, Photos by Randy, Southern Oregon
AB FAB- Ben is an excellent teacher. He is very through and "down to earth" in his explanations. All his courses are worth the time and the money to view and purchase them!!! Please keep on teaching on CreativeLive. Thanks, Thanks, and more Thanks. Janet Bozgan 4-24-14
