Hello fellow photographer!
Let me ask you a question:
Have you ever watched a video that explains layers or masking in Photoshop, and as you're watching along you feel like it's sinking in and you understand it all… But when you open up Photoshop and try to use what you saw in the video, important parts just seem to escape you?

Have you ever watched a video that explains layers or masking in Photoshop, and as you're watching along you feel like it's sinking in and you understand it all… But when you open up Photoshop and try to use what you saw in the video, important parts just seem to escape you?
So you watch the whole thing again to find the bit you're looking for. This time you follow along step by step in PS to do exactly what the video is doing…
... then for some reason it still doesn't work like in the video?
And this leaves you feeling frustrated, stuck, or just downright annoyed that it shouldn't be this complicated!?
If so then you're not alone!
It happens all the time.
So if you feel like you're always on the back foot, stuck, unable to progress to the levels you need your Photoshop skills to be at to progress your Photography…
Let me promise you this:

This is one of the best photography courses I have taken and I learned more than I ever expected.
David Feigal, 2024 Alumni
The Layers & Masking Breakthrough is a 21 day learning experience that promises to teach you advanced layers and masking skills in a way that actually sticks.
You'll be coming into this experience reasonably comfortable with the basics of layers and masking and perhaps you'll have dipped your toe into the luminosity masking pool, and you're ready to take things to the next level.
But if you're ready to upgrade your understanding of these important concepts through bite-sized, iterative lessons to reach a level where you're equipped and able to use the advanced techniques that have been a roadblock for you in the past - then this is for you.

How is this different from other "regular" downloadable courses?
The Advanced Layers & Masking Breakthrough is NOT just another set of downloadable videos.
It's an experience...
It's about you experiencing the results you so badly want and need, so you can finally get the best out of Photoshop because you actually understand the techniques you're using and why you're using them.
If you've ever found yourself following along with a regular course, understanding everything you're being shown while its happening on screen, repeating the steps side by side with the video and feeling like you have a handle on things...
... Only to draw a complete blank next time you come to use what you've learned...
Then the iterative 21 day process that the Breakthrough follows is designed to solve that exact problem.

Through small daily lessons and exercises, you'll gradually build your knowledge over the three weeks without becoming overwhelmed with so much to learn all at once.
With regular feedback from me as you progress through the exercises, you can be confident that you're staying on track and not falling behind.

Who Is This For?
If you feel like your understanding of layers and masking is lacking in any way, then you are in pole position to make the most from this experience.
If you consider yourself at an intermediate-level when it comes to layers and masking in Photoshop, or if you've tried to progress from to advanced level layers and masking techniques but failed before, then this is your perfect next move.

"My editing skills have leapt forward"
"My editing skills have leapt forward"
Michael Carne - Layers & Masking Breakthrough Alumni (2024)
My editing skills as a result have leapt forward and I am very pleased with the result finding Steve's teaching methods well presented, providing sensible progression through the days of the course.
I am practising the methods with previously taken and new photos and am pleased with the outcome.
I now have many skills that I previously lacked and highly/happily recommend this course.
"I’m no longer reluctant to use Photoshop"
"I’m no longer reluctant to use Photoshop"
Barry Feely - Layers & Masking Breakthrough Alumni (2024)
I very much enjoyed this course with your daily tutorials and challenges.
It gave the opportunity to try using the tools and processes right away either on my photos or the ones you supplied.
What impressed me the most was the direct personal attention and encouraging feedback that you provided in reviewing the work that I sent to you.
I was very impressed with the way you responded with positive statements and helpful suggestions in the personalized videos that you would respond with.
Those were a real treat.
"I have been improving some old (what I thought were good) images to be even better"
"I have been improving some old (what I thought were good) images to be even better"
Stan Sheldon - Layers & Masking Breakthrough Alumni (2024)
I was surprised how intuitive you made using selections, masking, controlling colour and light.
It is a very practical course where you learn how to use the tools that you need to get great outcomes.
Once I became familiar with the tools, I could concentrate on the image instead of worrying about the process.
"I learned more than I even expected"
"I learned more than I even expected"
David Feigal - Layers & Masking Breakthrough Alumni (2024)
This is one of the best on-line photography courses I have taken and I learned more than I even expected.
I have never even looked at the channels and didn’t know how to use them.
The understanding of how they relate to masks, luminosity, how to merge and manipulate them took me to a new level of skill and understanding.

How Does It Work?
How Does It Work?
The Breakthrough is not your usual type of online course.
It is NOT an "information dump" that leaves you daunted by how much learning is staring you in the face.
In fact, it's deliberately designed to make it feel easy by simplifying the learning process with easy, manageable chunks.
Here's what the process looks like for you when you take part:
The Advanced Layers & Masking Breakthrough is all about the practice.
Because it's good to understand something in theory… But it's hard to become fluent without practice.
And without daily practice, you have a problem with "information-decay".
That's why every day you'll be learning a little, doing a little. Piece by piece, each day building on the last as you walk the path to mastery one step at a time. Never once feeling like it's all becoming too much or too complicated.

In fact, it's deliberately designed to make it feel easy by simplifying the learning process with easy, manageable chunks.
Here's what the process looks like for you when you take part:
- Open and read an email every day for 21 days
- Watch a short video or two
- Do some exercises and tasks in a few spare minutes of your day
- Let the most advanced Layers & Masking concepts and techniques sink in naturally through small, iterative, daily practice
- Start using this stuff in your photography as if you were born doing it

When does it start?
When does it start?
You'll receive your first of 21 daily emails on the date noted above on this page.
How long does it last?
How long does it last?
You have new content and tasks for every day for 21 days. There will be opportunities to go a little quicker if that suits you, but not slower. To get the best out of this experience you'll want to open and read the daily emails when they arrive, and do what they're asking you to do.
What if something comes up and I need a break from the 21 days?
What if something comes up and I need a break from the 21 days?
Life happens - I get it. If something unexpected comes up and you need a short break, then you have the option to call a 2-day timeout. It's like hitting pause, so when the 2 days are up, you're right back in it. It's important that you don't go too long without doing "the stuff" for the reasons I talked about earlier regarding daily practice.
What is the format of the experience?

Everything is delivered to the convenience of your private email inbox. No logins to remember, no membership websites, nothing standing in the way.
Simply open and read an email each day, click a link to a custom page with a short video or two and some things to practice alongside any downloadable files you might need, and enjoy a new streamlined way of learning one small bite at a time.

How is it different from a regular online course?
How is it different from a regular online course?
There's a time and a place (and a people) for the "normal format" online course. But this is not that.
Rather than simply handing over a tonne of videos and sending you on your merry way to watch them (or not) on your own time, the experience is a more hands-on, customised, supportive, iterative way of installing in your brain the skills you need to succeed with Photoshop.

How much time can I expect to spend on the daily material and tasks?
How much time can I expect to spend on the daily material and tasks?
Each day you'll read an email for a few minutes, click a link to a short video or two (maybe up to 15 minutes), and then spend as much time as you want or need practicing. How long you spend practicing will depend on you, but I would recommend setting aside 30-60 minutes total per day.
