SO WHY ME?
Just like you, I started out fighting my way through the Photoshop’s jungles.
The software is not designed for beginners. It’s for high level people in graphic industry.
It’s powerful, but its complex interface and non-intuitive functions quickly turned me off.
Too many options, too many tools, too many small little boxes!
I like photography, and I want to get the idea of how the picture should be in my head quickly presented on the monitor screen.
I like things that is simple.
I want to pay an affordable price to use the software, and not get stuck with Creative Cloud’s subscription forever and fork out $10 per month for features 70% of which I would never use.
I was almost lost for a while researching for another better and easier way.
I found out about Pixelmator. I paid $30 for it. I never look back.
I have played with Pixelmator, tried to understand how it works.
And I have ultimately taken all trial and errors of Pixelmator for you and packaged it into a bite sized, easy to follow course that you can learn to jump start your editing skills from zero to pro level in only 8 hours!
I am not a professional designer. I am a graduate student from a business school. I am starting my own business.
Just like you, I am starting out, and I know for a fact that photo editing is an useful skillthat is important in this media dominated world.
In my lessons, I use a simple language style so you are not inundated with unnecessarily complicated jargons. I have been there and done that, and I have simplified everything for you.
AND WHY PIXELMATOR?
It is a good alternative to Adobe Photoshop for Mac users. If you are a Mac person, you like simplicity. Pixelmator is about simplicity.
It’s a fairly light app to quickly edit graphic images with its robust built in effects, tools, textures to help editors bring their imagination to paper.
Thanks to its design simplicity and clean interface, it cuts the usual Photoshop learning curve down a tons, making it super easy for someone without a lot of Photoshop knowledge to crank out some good looking photos.
You do not need high end powerhouse with a tons of hidden features to it photos like a pro. At the end of the day, who cares which photo editing apps you use.
You need to get your photos done and shining that you are proud of, without too much complexity and headache.

In this course, you get to focus on practical cases where several editing tools are grouped and introduced at the same time, so you can learn those tools quickly and see the differences in terms of the final image immediately.
-Each lessons build up in terms of difficulty, but can be watched separately in any order and at your own pace
