This course, taught by Kyle Webster, is worth it's weight in gold. He is "the" man when it comes to Photoshop and Fresco. His wealth of knowledge and easy to understand teaching style is unbeatable. In the first lesson I got so much information that it was easy for me to get into Fresco and experience it's wonders. I am so glad I found this class and Mr. Webster. Please Domestika have Mr. Webster do many more Fresco classes. I highly recommend tis outstanding class.

I'm a professional retoucher and this was my first time trying Fresco.
So instead of battling my way through the app, I decided to go with Kyle's course.
It was great - not only did I learn Fresco, but it was amazing getting insights into Kyle's way of working.
I can recommend this course for a multitude of reasons — not least of which is Kyle's easy paced teaching method. Usually I put videos on 2x speed to get rid of the waffle — but Kyle's delivery was perfect.
