Build your skills. Grow your confidence

Does this sound like you?

I open Photoshop…
and am unsure of what to do next.

  • The interface feels overwhelming

  • Too many panels, tools, and menus at once

  • Not sure what’s essential vs. advanced

Layers feel confusing and intimidating

  • Unsure what layers actually do

  • Accidentally painting or editing on the wrong layer

  • Flattening images because layers feel “too complicated”

Selections are frustrating

  • Don’t know which selection tool to use (or why there are so many)

  • Can’t get clean selections around people or objects

  • Hair, edges, and fine details look messy

Edits don’t look “professional”

  • Photos look over-edited, fake, or flat

  • Colors don’t match what you see online

  • Unsure how professionals get polished, natural results

Basic photo fixes feel harder than they should be

  • Brightness and contrast never look right

  • Colors shift unexpectedly

  • Skin tones look odd or unrealistic

Too many tools, not enough guidance

  • Don’t know when to use Adjustment Layers vs. filters

  • Confused by Smart Objects, Masks, and Blend Modes

  • Unsure which tools are safe to experiment with

Fear of “breaking” the image

  • Worried about making irreversible mistakes

  • Don’t understand non-destructive editing

  • Constantly duplicating files “just in case”

Tutorial overload

  • YouTube tutorials skip steps or assume prior knowledge

  • Instructors move too fast

  • Learning feels scattered instead of structured

Workflow confusion

  • Not sure what order to do things in

  • Editing takes far longer than expected

  • Don’t know how to work faster or more efficiently

Exporting and saving headaches

  • Unsure which file format to use (JPG, PNG, PSD, etc.)

  • Images look different after saving

  • Confusion about resolution, size, and quality

Feeling behind or discouraged

  • Photoshop seems “too advanced” for beginners

  • Comparing yourself to experts is intimidating

  • Not sure if you’re learning the right way

If Photoshop has ever made you feel confused, frustrated, or overwhelmed — you’re not alone. The Photoshop Virtual Summit: Foundations is designed to remove the confusion and help you build confidence step by step.

By the end of the Photoshop Virtual Summit: Foundations, Photoshop will feel approachable, understandable, and usable—so you can focus on creating instead of second-guessing. 

Everyone starts somewhere. This summit is designed specifically for beginners, guiding you step by step from confusion to confidence—without jargon or guesswork.
