In this series, “The Adobe Photoshop CC Video Tutorials,” I share with you the tools, panels and methods professionals use day and night, 24/7 to create the images seen on the New York Times, CNN, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Wells Fargo, The Gap and almost every corporate website you see on the internet.
The truth is, though you can use Adobe Photoshop CC’s thousands of panels and options, professional, senior graphic designers all over the world only use less than 10% of what this application has to offer. In fact, most professionals only use less than 5% of what Adobe Photoshop CC has to offer.
When I was teaching senior designers from Adobe Photoshop in downtown San Francisco, the class was 4 days long, eight hours a day. But that was with 20 people in the class and lot of questions. The school I was teaching for wanted money. In their minds, “Give the class more hours and then people will pay more money.” Fine.
