No prior experience is required as well because I'll guide you through every step.We begin the Photoshop course by learning the very foundational skills in Photoshop such as navigating the interface, starting a new project, understanding the working concept of layers, and customizing Photoshop's interface to suit your creative needs.From there on, we learn how to color correct images, basically putting life into dull images. We then learn how to export files from Photoshop for different purposes, and how to create, modify and use shapes in Adobe Photoshop.
