Photoshop is the basic and most common professional tool for many directions in graphic design, so it is simply necessary for all beginners to study. Perhaps, at first glance, the program interface may seem complicated and incomprehensible, but in fact it is not so and after training anyone can quickly navigate in Photoshop.

I offer you an individual Photoshop study course for each student for any need. It doesn’t matter if you know the basics or not: I’ll explain to you everything that you don’t know depending on what you want to use Photoshop for. You can choose the direction, for example, for processing photos, drawing or editing and adding various fonts and text. We can start with a baseline or go straight to more advanced features. In addition to the main ones, we will touch upon such topics as 3D in Photoshop, render, scripts, automation and export.

I can teach you in German, English, Russian or Ukrainian. Unfortunately, my German level is not yet perfect, but I am constantly developing in this direction. If you have any questions, be sure to write to me :)

Taking photos, especially portrait is not so easy, there is a lot behind it and you have to learn that.
Adobe premiere is a very nice program and it is cool to edit videos.
Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop
I have experience in this area for 5 years :)
I look forward to you all.

Hello,

My name is Lucas, I'm a 37 years old graphic designer and collage illustrator.
I created this course to introduce new-comers and intermediate Photoshop users to develop their abilities, learn new tricks and use Photoshop for personal and professional goals.

The course is adapted to the student's current knowledge and objectives with the software to learn the basic features, image uses for print and web, how to combine Photoshop's features to achieve goals, photo-treating features, advanced effects and tricks, interacting with other Adobe Softwares, and more.

The course is conducted in either English, Portuguese or Spanish. We can discuss the possibilities of conducting it in German or French.
I can commute to your desired place within the Ringbahn, and your will need a computer with a later Photoshop installed. :)

Corona safety measures should please be respected. Thank you!

Looking forward to your contact.
All the best,
Lucas.

You no longer want to take your photos in the automatic mode of your camera, and you want to design them yourself according to your ideas? Then you are welcome to my courses!
You will learn to deepen the use of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance and focal length.
We train photographic sight and recognition of interesting motifs. Image composition and understanding how to use different lighting conditions is also part of the course.
You will learn the subsequent workflow, that is, importing the images into Adobe Lightroom, how to select and compare the best shots, and basic image retouching.
Based on your knowledge, we adapt the course content to your needs.

Creative photography course for advanced students.
Abroad:
E.g. Long exposure time, zoom effect, levitation photography, crystal ball.
Inside:
E.g. Frozen flowers or fruits, flowers with water drops, moving underwater objects.

Unleash your creativity and learn graphic design and Photoshop! Hello everyone! I'm Angel, passionate about graphic design and publishing with more than 8 years of experience in the industry. And now, I want to share my knowledge with you through my online graphic design and Photoshop classes.

What can you expect from my classes?

🎨 Personalized learning: As the only teacher, I make sure to tailor each class to your specific needs and interests.

🖥️ Live and recorded classes: Enjoy interactive sessions in real time and access the recordings to review the topics whenever you want.

💡 Practical projects: You will work on exciting projects that will allow you to apply what you learn and develop your creative skills.

If you are interested in starting or improving your career in graphic design, or simply want to master Photoshop for your personal projects, this is your opportunity. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or have previous experience, my classes are designed to adapt to all levels.

As an aspiring photographer eager to print your images, you've made investments in equipment but are disappointed with the results. You've attempted to tackle color management and printer profiling, but haven't achieved the desired outcomes.

In this course, you will learn about:

- Color management in applications: How to properly evaluate and set up
- Understanding the differences between monitor and print output
- Monitor profiling
- The significance of standard light
- Exploring ink jet printers, including their characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages
- Printer calibration and profiling using colorPROFILER, an open-source solution for advanced printer profiling

How deeply you delve into these topics depends entirely on your interests. Our experienced color management professional will guide you to go beyond just pressing buttons and flipping switches. You'll learn to help yourself!

About the instructor: With over 30 years of professional experience in color management, I advise high-profile clients across various industries where color is crucial. I want to share my expertise with the everyday person, who often feels overwhelmed and helpless due to the abundance of information. Let's put an end to this confusion and focus together on what truly matters.

Whether you're a beginner eager to explore the fundamentals or an advanced user looking to refine your skills, I offer engaging, hands-on lessons that make learning Photoshop both accessible and fun. Their approach is not only about mastering technical tools but also unlocking the creative possibilities that Photoshop offers, helping students to push boundaries and bring their unique ideas to life. Get ready to dive into a world of digital artistry, where you'll learn everything from image manipulation and retouching to advanced photo compositing techniques, all in a supportive and dynamic learning environment.

I offer creative lessons tailored to your needs and preferences. These can cover drawing and painting techniques, but also other materials like clay or digital tools (think digital art on the iPad). Together, we'll explore your current level, what skills you'd like to learn, and establish a goal to guide the lesson content. Especially if you're saying, "Yes, but I'm not really that creative," or "Yes, but I'm not very good at drawing," I'd love to take on the challenge with you!

I teach digital painting with a focus on clarity, structure, and outcome. You’ll learn how to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, use color intentionally, and create textures that add depth. We’ll move from the basics of composition to the challenges of designing characters, surreal environments, and expressive scenes.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.

Would you like to structure your notes more or simply make them look a little nicer?
I'll show you the basics of hand lettering to achieve this.
Together we can practice holding the pen, the different types of pens, how much pressure to apply and shading, for example.

The program is designed for students interested in concept art, illustration, visual storytelling, and portfolio preparation for art schools, animation/game-related programs, or independent artistic development. It follows a mentorship-based approach, combining artistic foundations, conceptual thinking, and portfolio strategy, adapted to everyone's style, vision and long-term goals.

If foundational skills are already present, these areas will not be repeated mechanically; instead, the focus will shift toward portfolio development, conceptual depth, and refinement of existing work.
