Reviews

  1. I tell people that I “taught myself” Photoshop, but what I mean is that I spent lockdown watching Aaron’s free 30 Day course. Years on I still watch and learn from him. He is generous with his expertise, and his tutorials are easy to follow. I look forward to doing this new course.

  2. Aaron is the best. He knows what he’s doing and tells you precisely what to do and why. Some other instructors drive me crazy with sprinklings of “sort of”. Not Aaron.
