Oooo look at this shiny new toolbox! You’ve only got one tool in there for now, but you can start building your collection by completing other tools & techniques lessons!

Hey, nice job! You’ve collected 10 Editing Tools & Techniques to add to your toolbox! Keep it going and you’ll be the boss of Photoshop in no time (you might already be the boss of Photoshop, who am I to say? I’m not the boss of you.)

You’ve now collected 25 toolboxes and techniques. Are all your tools still fitting in the toolbox? Hopefully by now, you’re solving editing problems more easily, adding some creative techniques, and feeling like the supreme ruler of all things Photoshop. Keep it up.

I guess you really like tools (and editing toolboxes) because you’ve completed 50 editing toolbox lessons now. Do you need a shed to keep all those tools nice and tidy? Or will they live in a cardboard box in your basement like mine do?

Sometimes, you don’t need a full tutorial. Sometimes, you just want to watch someone try and remember why they did different layers in an edit they finished years ago. And it seems like you enjoy watching that, since you’ve finished five Explore the Edits.

You’ve begun exploring your style and a rationale for your editing, your toolbox is full to the brim with new tools, and you’ve been exploring how edits were put together. You can call yourself a fully qualified Explorer.

You’ve learned all about location, posing, expression, gazing direction, dog training, and you’ve begun to master Photoshop. You can officially call yourself a “Creator”!

Growing your business takes work and dedication, and it looks like you’re committed! Keep going! You’re doing great.

That’s it. You’ve done it. You’ve beaten the final boss. And by that, I mean you’ve completed 200 lessons. How many lessons are on the site? I have no idea, but 200 seems like a lot, right?

Shaping the light is one of my favourite techniques. Here, we can emphasise a mood, bring a spotlight to the dog, and give our audience’s eyes some boundaries and guidelines. With your new found knowledge you should be a light-shaper in no time! Just remember: keep observing the real world and how light works!
