Praise for the Photoshop Workbench
“I have been watching Mark’s Workbench videos for a long time now and I believe he is the best Photoshop instructor I have seen (and I watch a lot of Photoshop video tutorials). The way he presents information makes it very simple to understand.”
Lawrence Keeney
Boulder City, Nevada
“After dealing w/ PS for several years, and yes, several classes, I finally got MASKS! Why? Because Mark Johnson so carefully explains every move he makes, even if he makes it several times. I shall be eternally grateful.”
Sylvia Patton
Los Angeles, CA
“I am so grateful for the Photoshop Workbench series because FINALLY (and I mean this with emphasis) I’ve found a resource where I can learn how to create the array of images that have existed for years only in my mind. I’ve tried other web tutorials, but Mark makes it so easy to follow along and truly learn techniques.”
Brian Reed
Aurora, Colorado
“In attempting to learn Photoshop, I bought all of the top rated books; took multiple short courses locally; and read all of the how to articles in the major magazines. I finally took a semester long course at a local community college, and even this was not as helpful as Mark Johnson’s Photoshop Workbench and his e-books. Mark freely shares his expertise and enthusiasm for this most creative tool on the website, and his e-book on CS3 is an often used reference. He makes the whole process easily understandable and the fun it should be. I have also purchased Botanical Dreaming, and it is a constant source of joy and inspiration. Much like Galen Rowell does in his books, Mark openly shares all of the how-to information that so many other author’s skip. I’ve never been so warmly thanked as when another photographer took my advice, and visited Mark’s website or purchased one of his books.”
Dr. Bill Casper
San Diego, CA
“Thanks for your continued dedication to publishing the Photoshop Workbench each week. It continues to be my primary source of Photoshop instruction. I find that your teaching style really stands out compared to the others on the web. You explain what you’re doing, what the menu option is, and why you’re using that tool. It seems all the others simply recite a string of shortcut keystrokes with little explanation.”
Craig Stocks
Delavan, IL
“Several years ago I decided to move from the film world to the digital world. One of the biggest challenges I faced was learning Photoshop. I spent a lot of time and energy reading various books and attending classes at a local Junior College. However, it was not until I found the Photoshop Workbench that I really began to progress. I have friends ask me “how did you learn Photoshop?” and I always tell them that I learned it from Mark Johnson!! He did more for me than any other source.”
Bruce Bader
O’Fallon, IL
“The video tutorials are fantastic. I’ve been working with Photoshop for years now, yet every tutorial has something in it that is new to me.”
Terry McDonald
Guelph, Ontario, Canada
“Of all the tutorial experts out there I have found your presentations to be the clearest and most useful.”
Steve Haines
Essex, CT
“I truly appreciate your Workbench series, and look forward to each of them. Can’t begin to tell you how much I have learned from these weekly tutorials.”
Gerry
MI
“I learned so much from your tutorials, which include information within information! Your directions for adding digital catchlights resurrected large numbers of “dead,” sightless subjects from their analog graves. There is simply no limit here. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am pleased to relate that your teaching has really enhanced my workflow and increased the number of submissions I submit to SuperStock, Inc., which reps my stock work. Your work is gorgeous!”
Ivy Bigbee
“I’d like to thank you for producing this amazing videocast! I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve learned—and I haven’t even listened to everything yet.”
Norman Freelan
Cleveland, OH
“Thank YOU for all you do—I have to say I have learned more about Photoshop from you than any other source, and it is much appreciated!”
Greg Zitney
Novato, CA
“It’s people like Mark that provide the incredible positiveness in a world that is so full of negativity. In other words, thank God for him balancing out an otherwise off-kilter world. My sincere appreciation and gratitude to him for his particular style, content, graciousness and above all his teachings. I would hope he continues to grace us with his generosity…in spite of a pitiful world.”
Usha Vedula
“As usual you take the complex and reduce it to the simple.”
Dave Randolph
Raleigh, NC
“I have purchased Mark’s Photoshop Companion eBooks along with all of the Photoshop Workbench DVDs and I have learned more about Photoshop using his materials than with all the other Photoshop books I have read.”
