Excelente! Claro, conciso y con los tips necesarios con respeto a formatos y herramientas específicas de Photoshop. Me encantó y los encuentro muy útil. Cualquiera, incluso una persona novata en fotografía como yo les da lo suficiente para dar el primer paso. Esto ayudará a muchos a mejorar la presencia de producto en redes y subir su calidad de exhibición del mismo para que sea más atractivo. Gracias!

Es una estafa por que esperaba que explicaran algo con Ligthroom y ni siquiera aparece este programa por ningun lado...

Aunque he descubierto algún trucos interesante, he de decir que es mucho más básico de lo que esperaba. Solo lo recomendaría a alguien que no tuviese ni idea y no hubiese usado nunca el Photoshop, en ese caso está bien.

Un gran curso. Si bien, está enfocado para principiantes, si uno se mantiene dispuesto a aprender algo nuevo, se podrá encontrar algo interesante.
