Thanks again Kent for all you do! Whenever I’m shooting sunrise or sunset with friends, your name always comes up!

Have been using PS for years and still struggle with it. Now I do a lot in Lightroom. Loved your classes. Looking forward to getting this later today. I know it will be excellent. Thanks for the special pricing!

Ken

PS: Have been enjoying your son’s talent.

Thanks Ken for your kindness! :)

Scott,
Thanks! So great to here you’ll be down this way. I’m actually attending an aviation workshop that weekend. Will be photographing air to air, should be interesting. Let me know if you need anything while down here, I see if I can help.
So that’s why my ears burn sometimes in the morning and at sunset. lol :)

Thanks again,
Kent

I will definitely be sharing this! It looks fantastic and I am sure it is a wealth of knowledge just as your classes are.

Hello Kent,

The e-book “31 days” covers CS5? That’s what I have.

Jack Herrmann

[Reply]

Yes CS5 (actually extended which has video, 3D and some other things) is used in this eBook and 99% of everything in the lessons can also be done with CS4 and CS3. The only thing that is exclusive to CS5 is content-aware fill.

[Reply]

Jack

I forgot to ask about the operating system you use on cs5. I noticed you use Mac. Does your videos show how to use cs5 on a PC?
Hopping to scare up the money by Tuesday :-)

PS: I was going to ask you about stacking layers in CS5.

Jack

[Reply]

Jack,
Yes, the Windows version is 99% the same. The videos were created using a Mac, but the Windows version is nearly identical. I detail the keyboard shortcuts for both Mac and Windows in Lesson 3. Thanks for asking.

PS – I have SIX lessons on Layers with working files for you that will specifically help you understand the stacking of Layers along with much more Layer info. :)

OK…you gotta get this! Got mine yesterday. Have used PS for many years. I learned good stuff in the very first lesson. This Photoshop ebook is excellent! It’s not going to take me 31 days! It is very engaging and interactive. Thanks for the special pricing. Like your classes, I got more than I paid for!

[Reply]

Kent,
I am thinking of purchasing Photoshop between 3 to 6 months from now. However, your program sounds like a good way to start learning now. May I ask what is the ‘shelf life’ of the ebook? In otherwords, can I access videos anytime now or in the distant future?

[Reply]

You own the eBook and may access the videos anytime you’d like. Thanks for asking :)

[Reply]

Hi Kent, I’m hoping to go from zero to mach speed with your training materials. Quick question: I notice you mention layers. Is that what I’ll need to understand in order to create professional print materials, such as brochures, etc.? I need a refresher (which translates to “I don’t remember a thing.”).

[Reply]

Layers is a photoshop term meaning being able to use multiple elements on various layers. Not to worry, it’s all explained in the eBook, as well as how to setup files for web or print. Enjoy! ;)

Sweet 7D

Where do I find the “Follow Along Files”? I have a new MAC and am still learning…So, I am not quite sure where this might be located.
Thanks!

[Reply]

The link was sent in your follow up email. Let me know when you find it. Thanks :)

Hi Kent! Today I finished “31 Days to Photoshop”. I enjoyed practicing along with the lessons. I still need much more practice but at least now it is making more sense to me. I have Elements 8 and realized I had to find out how to use layer mask differently. I went to Youtube and found out how and from then on was able to follow along with you. Thanks for putting this together and the price was right!

Hi Kent,

I have downloaded the 31 Days to Photoshop to my IPad but alas cannot open, any ideas?

Thanks
Kim

Hi Kat,
You need to first download the eBook to your computer and uncompressed the .zip file, by double-clicking. The eBook is in a .PDF format. Once you have the .PDF eBook you can transfer it to your iPad through iTunes. Open iTunes and drag the .PDF eBook file from your desktop over to the “books” tag in iTunes. The file will load up in iTunes and then be available to transfer to your iPad or iPhone. The eBook will appear in the iBooks app. Let me know this works for you. Thanks for asking.

Hi Kent,
Do I need a link to open on my Mac as I bought the ebook on my IPad?

I Just bought Photoshop CS6, I’m new Photoshop, do you plan to bring out a CS6 version of your tutorial. how similar is the stuff you cover in CS6?

[Reply]

The 31 Days to Understanding Photoshop was created with CS5, however all the fundamentals are the same, with little or no exception. This eBook will help you get started with Photoshop.

[Reply]

please send as much info on your book and as much tips and shortcuts as possible to my email address troginsaemusic@gmail.com

thank you

I have a question concerning day 6 video. There is a comment in the video to open the original RAW image(2848×4256), but I don’t find that file avalible in the file folder. I understand the intent of the video – just cannot follow along in my photoshop w/o the file!! Am I doing something wrong. None-the-less, a great e-book. Thk’s!!!

[Reply]

That image is not included due to size. I referenced the size to understand the pixel comparison. Let me know if that helps.
