From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
Noble never disappoints. I registered for this class because I wasn't sure I was using Adobe Lightroom properly. Dan helped me see that I was doing well - to a point. There is so much more to the software than I even imagined. Not only was I able to adapt my workflow immediately after class, I can now handle basic retouching without having to switch to Photoshop.

I've used Photoshop for many years, yet this class taught me advanced functionality in the software that I had no idea existed. And the instructor, Ethan, provided excellent instruction on applying retouching techniques to real-world examples. This will help further my career, for sure.

This was an amazing class. The teacher was fun and very informative. I knew a lot of what was taught, but I learned so many short cuts and in depth information. I believe you have cut my retouching time in half.
