I have to say this is proving to be the best PS tutorials I've ever seen, you are an excellent teacher and everything is perfectly clear, thank you Aaron.
Great tutorials! I'm starting to see how mastering Photoshop is about 50% technical know how and 50% artistic ability. We need to grow in both areas to really produce quality work.
I would like to give you the title " Photoshop Guru" most user-Friendly. I have spend money on Photoshop courses but the content is not even close to yours. What I most like your 3 days is there is almost no BS, blah blah blah, just to the important points and explanations are simple even a 2nd grader can understand and learn. Thanks a lot for taking time for creating these courses.
Aaron, such a legend - thanks so much for these videos. I unfortunately encountered a minor problem where I couldn't find the 'Foreground To Background' option after clicking the Gradient Editor. If anyone can't find 'Foreground To Background' please see here: 1. Click on 'Gradient Editor' 2. Look at presets - click Basic 3. You will a square with white to transparent Every time I click Gradient Editor it doesn't show all the previews like in the video, it just shows the folders you have to dig through. Took me some time!
Just wanted to leave a big thumbs up here. Not watching your channel for a long time, yet, but this 30 days of Photoshop nails it! I am using PS and LR for years already, and still I learn in every single of your videos. Thanks! Already excited for the rest of the month!
Still learning, I have always had a difficult time understanding Curves, even though you explained it very well. I know one day i will master it more. Thank you so much for explaining it in a very well thought-out way to users like me! I appreciate your content and all of your amazing work that you do, you are an inspiration to continue to create. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the community and for teaching us to grow our creative skills through your teachings! Special thanks to the amazing team as well!!!
Hi Larry! Thanks so much for your kind words. They mean a lot! Learning something new takes a lot of patience, keep phlearning and you'll master Photoshop in no time!
I’m on day 8 and I’ve learned so much already thank you so much for these videos! You are so easy to listen too and I don’t fall asleep like I have done watching other TH-cam channels 😂 that gradient tip will come in so handing when editing my landscapes!!!
Now, that the perfect amount of information in one class. Pace was good. Much easier to follow than the Selections class. I did notice that your gradient drop-down menu was different than mine; I am using Photoshop 2020. Mine just showed the gradient style under gradient-basic-then box for style. After some exploring, I think mine was a little easier. Whew. I am still super grateful for this 30 day class! Thank you.
If you're using a later newer version of Photoshop, and you can't get the gradient tool to work like he's using it, select Classic Gradient. Then it should work
I wanted to do these in January but was too busy to keep up. Now that I have time,,,,, this is an amazing series. Useful information and very well paced
Thank you 🙏 you keep it simple and do an awesome job explaining everything. I like how you dont even make a copy of the original background like most people do and then work on that copy. You show how you can change the original without touching it at all
really enjoying this, evenytho I am doing it at my way (3 days in your one day course ) , I , a real beginner ,had problems with other TH-cam videos, when they are dispersed everywhere without order , thank you for sharing this step by step comprehensive course, appreciate this
Excellent Aaron. I really appreciated the side by side comparison of levels and curves. I've always that they locked 20 developers in a room and each came up with their own way to do something in Photoshop. They didn't want to say no so everyone thing was included. Aargh. Choice is nice but sometimes they go to far. I feel a little better 'armed' to tackle these adjustment tools and you've set me with understanding what I'm supposed to do, whether or not I get there we'll see :-) Thank you
Aaron, thank you and congratulations for this series. You have come up with the most complete, thorough, easy and understandable tutorials about this topics so far in the youtube platform. I strongly suggest to anyone interested in learning to continue learning from Phlearn by you tube and by purchasing his programs. I already have. Cheers and continue the great work. Daniel
Is anyone else following along with Photoshop Elements? It seems to be working pretty well with only a few tools that are inactive. If you're using Elements you can go to Enhance>Adjust Color>Adjust Curves to follow along but honestly Aaron's explanation of Levels seems to be plenty for a hobbyist like myself. Thanks for the videos!
I'm a totally self-taught PS user. And after seven or eight years, I think I'm getting pretty good at it. But as an autodidact you miss a few things, and I am now working through the entire 30-day series. I am very surprised how much I am still learning. This is going to help me a lot! Thank you Aaron, life just got a bit more fun! 👊🏻
Very well done! The clarification you gave between the Levels and Curves tool was awesome: they do the same thing, but Curves gives you more control. You touched on Color Theory a little bit. Would be beneficial to do a video on the basis of color theory for those new to Ps since so much of these tools rely upon it.
Great video as usual, thanks! I heard that the best way to get best black and white result was to use the curve, chose mode color and pull down the curve on the right side. Do you agree? What is the best way according to you?
Thanks learning heaps. I am using my own photos, which sometimes do not fully match the nuances of your photos. I have used the adjustment layers to enhanced a recent photo of the sun setting over the National Library here in Canberra - Australia. I captured the smoke from the fires, some 60+ Kms away.
as a novice/non pro, it would seem that the levels are maybe a bit safer and forgiving than curves.... I feel like things can start getting out of hand quickly when I use curves. however, the hand tool in curves looks super useful and might be enough to make me lean toward learning curves and making them my "go to". thanks! great series! much appreciated!
For whatever reason my version of PS 2020's gradient tool doesn't look similar to yours at the 13:46 mark. It's solid grey instead of light gray to dark black. Anyone here can assist as to why? I've selected "foreground to transparent" and foreground colour is set to white as Aaron instructed but my gradient is solid.
Your tutorials are great, simple and straight to the point! Question, when I use the hand tool in the image to modify the curve, my curve window closes and I do not see how it modifies the curve live (I have to reopen it). How do you keep it open? Thanks!
How are you liking 30 Days of Photoshop so far? Well, we're having a blast making it! Be sure to follow the link in the description to sign up!

You are the best photoshop instructor on TH-cam! I love how you explain each tool you’re using. Thanks for all that you do!
You explain photoshop so well! Every time I watch one of your tutorials I learn something new.

Thank you for doing this Aaron! I’m really enjoying the series. Much appreciation 🙏 Best part of my day! 😊
Curves and levels😍 my two ABSOLUTE favorite and must use layers in any photo I edit🥳
best photoshop beginner guide ever seen
Thanks for your tutorials. You have incredible gift of teaching and explaining in a very clear and concise manner. Awesome
I've seen lots of explanations of curves and levels. This was the best. I almost actually understand now.
If you're using a later newer version of Photoshop, and you can't get the gradient tool to work like he's using it, select Classic Gradient. Then it should work
Thanks for the advice was trying to find out why isn't it working. Appreciate it!
I wanted to do these in January but was too busy to keep up. Now that I have time,,,,, this is an amazing series. Useful information and very well paced
First I like the video then I continue watching. ❤️
THESE ARE THE BEST TUTORIALS EVER !

Thank you 🙏 you keep it simple and do an awesome job explaining everything. I like how you dont even make a copy of the original background like most people do and then work on that copy. You show how you can change the original without touching it at all
Bloody awesome, sir! I have been using PS for a couple of years (as a rank amateur) and now understand how to use curves and levels.
