Glenn Knoll, the father of Thomas Knoll, the main designer of Photoshop, is a professor at the University of Michigan and a photography enthusiast. His basement is a darkroom.

How to study?

First of all, we should understand the interface structure of PS software, and then understand the operation and function of the tools in the toolbar! Know which command corresponds to which function and where the relevant command is, that is, be familiar with tools and interfaces! This is the foundation! More importantly, you should watch more example videos and follow them. If you do more, you can understand commands and software, and you can make your own style works ~ ~ ~
