Thank you Aaron for such an awesomely presented course. It’s so easy to follow along and in doing so I’m learning so much. You’re helping this oldie accomplish Photoshop skills way beyond a level I thought I would achieve. Well done.
Experimenting in real time is so nice, Aaron has a nice sense of humor.
i really enjoyed that, i liked the light rays at the end of the final image. i would like to see more composite image creation and blending techniques
Aaron explains all the necessary techniques in a very understandable, practical, and personable manner. Thank you, Aaron. Best regards, Dieter, Switzerland
Fantastic tutorial! I’d love to see MORE landscape edits that include adding final special effects/actions (Orton, lighting effects, etc) in Photoshop. Also would like to know how/when you address noise reduction in your work flow (LR/Topaz?). Love to see you edit a few night sky images. Always learn so much from Aaron! Thank you!!!
Very nice review and explanation of the new tools available.
great tutorial as always. You always learn something new from Aaron. The sky replacement is invaluable for creating realistic skys
Excellent tutorial, thanks! However, do not like the herky-jerky camera work shooting Aaron as he’s talking. Rough, unnatural, dizzying, and unsettling.
