An excellent second part to the course. From Photoshop tools I didn’t know existed, to the honing of extraction skills I already had, I’m expecting my extractions to get better and better. I’m currently rewatching the sessions, pausing the video and practising each skill before moving on! I loved the speed and extra examples in these sessions. The third session made all the difference!

I’ve done many extractions, but I learned so many new tips and tricks to make the extraction process easier…especially hair! Anna’s teaching style is a detailed step by step process with lots of examples so that when class was over I felt confident in experimenting with the new tools presented in class. I’m definitely signing up for Photoshop Part 3 when it’s available.

Thanks Sonya. Will be starting work on Part 3 for Photoshop VERY soon!

This class covered so much more than I could absorb in just one viewing. Anna thoroughly covered the subject and showed many examples for selecting, masking and extracting. I intend to rewatch all the sessions so I can practice along with the videos. So glad I participated and I’m looking forward to expanding my skills using all the tools she covered in this class. I highly recommend this class for newbies and accomplished PS users.

Watch, practice and repeat is how we do it around here. It’s so fun to see all the elevation in artistry from this class.

The course was super informative, as always! I had not had a chance to watch the first class, but was still able to track with Anna’s presentation. Perhaps, it was thanks to her slower pace and additional examples.
I loved at the end of the last class, where she outlined how to develop your own approach to making extractions going forward.
Anna’s passion for teaching really shines through in yet another excellent class!

So happy you enjoyed it Deb. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

There was so much useful information packed into Anna’s extraction classes. I will refer to these classes time and time again to hone my selection skills. Thanks, Anna, for taking the time to put these classes together. The information you provided was invaluable. Looking forward to part three.
