A fantastic course for understanding editing workflow from Raw file through to final Photoshopped image. While now very out of date, there are some great tips here but it doesn’t help that the course videos keep crashing (when pausing the video or at the end of lessons). To be honest, I did not realise how dated the course was when I bought it; ACR and Photoshop have changed a lot since 2019. This course was nevertheless worth the effort to understand and implement good workflow, and because Kasia introduces advanced (and less-known) techniques to achieve the end result. Above all, Kasia is an excellent instructor, and it is easy to follow along (while searching for the equivalent tools in more recent versions of ACR and Photoshop). This course deserved its high ratings when first released, and would get 5 stars from me if it had been kept up-to-date (and the videos did not crash so often).

I can't believe the amount of advanced techniques I learned in two hours. I need to revisit the course so I can digest everything I learned
