23 Expert Instructors Teaching 40 Photoshop Classes
Over 5 Days - November 11 - 15, 2024
I am thrilled to announce our latest online educational event: The Photoshop Virtual Summit 6, November 11- 15, 2024.
Once again I’ve been able to put together an incredible team made up of 23 of the world’s best and most experienced Photoshop teachers for this one-of-a-kind event. Your instructors for this online conference include best-selling authors, Adobe MAX Masters, Adobe Certified Instructors, and members of the Photoshop Hall of Fame.
You'll learn from experts such as Bert Monroy, Matt Kloskowski, Jesús Ramirez, Corey Barker, Ben Willmore, Kristina Sherk, Sebastian Michaels, Glyn Dewis, Blake Rudis, Lisa Carney, Colin Smith and many others. You can see below the full list of instructors and their classes.
Every single training session is designed to take your Photoshop knowledge and skill to the next level - regardless of whether you're just starting out, or have years of experience.
I've asked the instructors to focus on practical, real-world training that you can put into practice right away. And with a free pass, you can watch all of these classes for a limited time. Or get yourself lifetime access and exclusive bonuses with a VIP Pass ($99 during the Early Bird Sale).
I hope you join us for this amazing learning experience!

Thu, Nov 21, 2024, 12:00 AM UTCPresenting on Wed 11/20 at 7 pm - The Art of Art Jacoby
Link visible for attendees
Join Arthur Jacoby on a unique photographic adventure that explores how he has developed and actualized his evolving photographic vision. Art is an artist/photographer. He uses the camera and the digital darkroom the way a painter uses paints, brushes and a canvas or a sculptor uses hammers, chisels, stone, metal and clay to tell and share stories and vision.

Many people mistakenly believe that a camera accurately captures reality. They and most photographers try to do this by using the camera to freeze a moment in time. However, because the world never stands still and the camera doesn't see and experience what humans do, this is impossible. Reality is a transient experience. The camera cannot fully capture what the eye sees and the brain perceives.
In Art’s words, “A camera does not experience or feel anything. It cannot capture my vision and experiences. When I press the shutter button of my camera, I am responding to something I see and feel. It’s instinctual.”
