About this course

Daniel Walter Scott is one of the most prolific and highly-rated Adobe instructors on Udemy, and this Photoshop course reflects that experience — it moves through the interface, selections, layers, masks, and adjustment tools methodically, building toward real projects like photo retouching and composite images rather than isolated feature demos.

The course is structured for absolute beginners but goes deep enough to cover techniques professionals use daily: non-destructive editing with layer masks, color correction, and basic compositing. Scott's teaching style emphasizes workflow habits (organizing layers, using smart objects) that prevent the messy, hard-to-edit files beginners typically produce when self-taught from scattered YouTube tutorials.

Navigate the Photoshop interface and core toolset confidently
Use selections, layers, and layer masks for non-destructive editing
Retouch photos professionally using healing and cloning tools

Frequently asked questions

Yes, you'll need access to Photoshop CC (Adobe's free trial works for following along, though a subscription is needed for continued use).
Daniel Walter Scott updates his Adobe courses regularly to track interface and feature changes, which is one reason his courses stay highly rated over multiple Photoshop versions.
It builds a strong foundation — non-destructive editing, compositing, retouching — but professional design work also requires the design judgment taught in dedicated design-theory courses. Many learners pair this with a graphic design fundamentals course.
