Your choices stick across every tutorial on this device.
The current version of Photoshop from Adobe Creative Cloud. I record every tutorial in the latest release, and Adobe ships new features several times a year, so an older version may be missing a tool I use. Many techniques still work in older versions, and I say in the video when a feature is new.
Mostly no. The tutorials are built for Photoshop on desktop (Windows and macOS). Elements, iPad and web are missing many of the tools I use, especially adjustment-layer features, Blend If, and most AI tools. If you are on one of those, watch first and check that the panels I open exist in your version.
Yes, when it is the best tool for the job, and I always say so. Generative Fill, Generative Expand, Firefly and the Neural Filters are part of Photoshop now, and I teach them the same way I teach Curves: what they do, what they are bad at, and how to fix their output by hand. Nothing on this channel is type a prompt and you are done.
Under the video on its tutorial page here on the site, in the Download section. Some older tutorials never had files; if the section is missing, there is no file for that one. Files are free for practice. They are not licensed for commercial use.
Yes, through the \u003ca href=\u0022https://photoshoptrainingchannel.com/contact-us/\u0022\u003econtact page\u003c/a\u003e. I read every suggestion and pick the ones that will help the most people. I cannot make every one.
In the comments on that video on YouTube, or in the \u003ca href=\u0022https://www.facebook.com/groups/166474980794684/\u0022\u003ePTC Facebook group\u003c/a\u003e. I read them, and other viewers often answer faster than I can.
Practice on real projects, not exercises. Pick a photo you care about and try to make it look the way you imagine. When you get stuck, that is the tutorial to watch next. Hours in the software beat hours of watching. Learning some photography helps too: the better you understand light, the better your composites and retouching get.
A structured course. Free tutorials are the best way to solve one problem; a course is the best way to build a skill in order, without gaps. Mine are at \u003ca href=\u0022https://courses.photoshoptrainingchannel.com\u0022\u003ecourses.photoshoptrainingchannel.com\u003c/a\u003e. Start with Selections and Masking Mastery if you are unsure; almost everything else in Photoshop depends on it.
Yes. I email when a new tutorial or course goes out, nothing else. \u003ca href=\u0022https://photoshoptrainingchannel.com/lets-keep-in-touch/\u0022\u003eSign up here\u003c/a\u003e.
No. I do not take freelance or free requests through the channel. If your project is stuck on one specific step, ask in the comments and I will point you at the technique.
Only if I have used it and would recommend it without being asked. I turn down most requests.

Mostly by breaking things. I opened Photoshop 6 on April 25, 2001 at age 19, and taught myself by trying to recreate effects I saw and failing until they worked. A 12-hour training course on CD-ROM filled in the fundamentals. Everything since has been practice and real client work.
Photoshop on Windows 11, with a MacBook Pro for the macOS shortcuts. Screen recording in Camtasia. Photoshop runs the same on both platforms; the shortcuts are the only difference, and I call out both.
