This is one of the best summaries I have seen on curves. It covers the essentials in a manner that can be clearly understood by someone like me who had previously found so much of the curve adjustment process to be too abstruse to follow.it
Good course from an engaging teacher abou the curveseffect. Showing lots of examples what you can do with effect. A nice course about a specific subject! If you need a more general course and have limit amount of resources this one might not for your. If you would like a course that goes into detail this one is a nice to have. Projectfiles are included.
I am so glad that I took this course despite some of the reviews a few students left. I learned so much! I think he taught the course very well and I have made my photos look incredibly better thanks to this class.
Recommend especially if you want to know the difference between RGB/CYMK/LAB color as defined by Photoshop. He quickly presents the science and demonstrates the how. If you need more time with a concept his how to videos will walk you through the process. These videos are not a part of the course however his comments and bonus materials will direct you to those additional resources.
I loved this class! So many possibilities, short cuts and demonstrations. I can see how someone new to this might find it confusinig. But I also looked at his youtube channel and I advise anyone else to browse through his videos, specially blending modes to understand what he tried to convey here in such a short amount of time and speaking to all levels.
This is a terrific course. I am an intermediate Photoshop user. I really learned a lot about understanding the use of curves for different situations but Jesus provided an excellent base of knowledge about color modes, color interactions, histograms, and blend modes. I have heard all of these topics discussed before but now i feel like i actually understand the technical aspects so that i can make decisions, not just memorize formulas. Superb. Thank you.
I've taken classes covering curves before and use them regularly for my image processing, and I still learned a bunch of new things about them in this class. The information was useful and I found Jesús easy to follow.
This class is fantastic. Teacher has a great depth of knowledge and explains very clearly with great examples. Well paced, well organized and very clear. I had no idea how much power "curves" have, and now I know. Very highly recommended.
I love curves and use it every day in Photoshop, but I still learned a ton! Jesús is amazing, I would highly recommend this class!
