Hi Shane,
I just wanted to write a quick note telling you how helpful your site, prophotosecrets.com, has been as I built and continue to build my ‘side’ career as a professional photographer. It is a huge advantage to a photographer to have the basic photo editing skills that can quickly be learned on your tutorial site.
Almost every picture that I deliver to a client has had some Photoshop improvements. The shots taken with quality equipment under good lighting conditions don’t need much work but there is always things that can be improved like crop, composition, color correction etc.
I have a lot to learn yet but thanks to your great lessons I’m off to a solid start!
I’ve attached a before and after of a picture that has been a commercial success, used in this businesses commercial ads.
Thank you!!

Hi Shane,
I think I’m one of yours oldest clients, and in that long time all I want is to thank you for the great videos tutorials that helped me through my Photoshop learning, because despite my low experience in graphic design I was able to manage Photoshop really well.
All I wanted was to learn Photoshop in a fun way not related to work or something, and I got that in your videos.
Very Grateful

P.S.: Excuse me for my bad English. (You should give English classes, I really would learn a lot).

"...I don't know what to say other than 'Wow' Shane!
I love your latest tutorial on web graphics.
You have the ability on all your lessons to make an ametuer feel like a seasoned pro (and a damn good one at that!).
They are always fun, practical, informative, and just plain mind blowing! As I watch your tutorials, I follow along and do everything in PhotoShop myself.
At the end, I'm left speechless when I see what I (we) have created! Huge thanks again. "

"Shane,
First of all thank you so much for responding so quickly regarding my query on "dropped shadows: your advice worked.
Regarding your video tutorials. I am a professional photographer working in Ireland.
I have attended many workshops on photoshop given by visiting speakers from U.K., U.S.A., Europe etc. I will not be attending anymore.
Thankyou for taking the mystery out of photoshop. I had not intended going into the tutorial on 'Cropping' I knew all and what was there to learn, it is so straightforward. Was I so wrong. My method was so more complicated.
The same applied to 'Selection secrets'. In fact every tutorial I opened I learned invaluable information.
You deserve great support and the ingenius idea of video format is the winner. By the time I finish work in the evening and then attend to my own life I end up falling asleep with the photoshop manual in my hand. All I need now is another few hours in each day....which I entend finding.
Cannot wait to practice, practice, practice."
Renewed thanks,
Mary Ruane Brogan

"SELDOM in the age of digital do we ever find excess time on hand -- As a professional photographer I spend countless hours working with Photoshop, and Luckily "ProPhotoSecrets" helps streamline that time.
The site is easy to use and the tutorials are wonderful...of course, my level of experience often requires more in depth content, but I can already say the information I have read or downloaded has been GREATLY USEFUL and saved me much TIME (which is a rare commodity these days).
The site design is professional and easy to navigate with the added bonus of helpful/useful "links" - but I am most fond of the "Video Tutorials" because like many of us, visual learning in this fashion truly helps the information stick."

"Hi Shane
Just wanted to give you some feedback on your tutorials.
"As a professional photographer I felt the need to master Photoshop.
I have spent a small fortune on videos, books and other training programs, however I have learnt more in the last 3 weeks from Shane's site Prophotosecrets.com than in the previous 3 months.
Shane's method of teaching is very clear and easy to learn." Well done Shane!"

"Shane,
Wanted to say you are fantastic.
I have Elements 2.0 and needed simple direction and you are doing it with the free lessons. I have the big user guide but for me hands on which you provide is just what the doctor ordered.
I have tried and tried to find something I could understand and you are already doing it.
I wanted to understand the tools and terms and tried doing it myself but again as I said, I am a hands on person and need another person to guide me because reading does not do enough for me. Your great.
You are the Best out there."
Thank you so very Much.

"Great tutorials!
I have worked with Photoshop for years but it's amazing what tips you can pick up.
For instance, I never knew the crop tool could expand the picture area (Shane's example of adding a title to a studio print). How simple! I've always resized the canvas through the drop down menu, what a waste of time!"
Thanks again,

"Shane,
I am very pleased with each and every tutorial I tried during the last week to ten days with each email arrival.
I followed through with practice pictures on my own body of work (photos). I wish to use this opportunity and thank you for your candid approach and straight forward tutorials.
I have learned finally how to apply and use the quick mask technique to improve, change and work around fixing problem areas in photographs. It was revelation for me in the last few days.
I am a photographer mostly in art photography emigrated from the chemical dark room into digital image processing only three or four years ago now I am completely relying on my skills in Photoshop for all of my image processing workflow.
I used the darkroom facility for 30 years and now I am sitting in front of my computer reading how to books on Photoshop usage I am 70 years old living and working in ISRAEL. I'm so glad I found your site.
I wish to thank much for your work, approach and tutorials, they are wonderful, thanks again."
Thanks again,

Thanks to you and your tutorials."

"Hi Shane,
I love the program and am very proud of myself for being able to follow the program soo easily.
I can't believe that I'm actually making these changes to my pictures. These tutorials are soo easy to follow and I have been telling most of my friends about them.
I'm not the only one that was "photoshop stupid." Before your tutorials I was checking around for "Photoshop for Dummies "and VOILA I received an email on your tutorials and I am so glad that I did.
Shane I had the photshop program and had no idea how to use it and was using 2nd rate programs that didn't do half of what I have learned this week.
Yes, I can't wait to keep learning more, you make it so easy to learn.
Please feel free to use any comments I make as I am amazed at the ease to which I am learning.
Learning from the tutorials is absolutely awesome.
Thank you so very much for making it a pleasure to learn and so easy,"

"Hi Shane,
I only started using Photoshop CS for the first time in January of this year, and boy what a difference it has made.
I started with a digital imaging course by a local photographer, who was using Photoshop. But since going into your site and starting off with the free videos, I have learned so much more.
Yes, I have done other online courses and stuck at it, as you need to do, but there is nothing like watching and learning from a Pro like yourself, in a user friendly way."
All the best,

"Hi Shane!
I think it's good. Nice with the "guides" that show some shortcuts (or what
do you call it?)! That's new. Nice....
Anyway, your tutorials are very easy to understand and informative.. Even for me, with my "bad" english :-)

"Changing Eye Color - I loved this tutorial!!
This is a great one. I love changing eye colors to see what we would look like with the colored contacts. This is definitely a fun technique!
Amanda"
"How do' Shane,
This eye tutorial as well as all the others of yours, are just fantastic.
Keep it going!!
By the way I just recently upgraded to CS2, WOW!!
Now I will practice the new features, which I already have a pretty good handle on.
Thanks, Gracious, Danke very much.
George...................... :o) ................."
"Shane,
Thanks so much. I bought the DVD but I still watch each tutorial you send and learn from every one of them.
This is the BEST Photoshop instruction I've found and I have done lots of workshops--even a 5-day Digital Media Academy by Stanford University at a big price.
Your tutorials are better.

"Many thanks Shane,
Don't give up on the singing.
It makes it more human and puts you with the student, rather than thousands of miles away! Great accent as well.
I can say that with a plomb, as we English don't have accents, as you well know!

"Hi Shane:
I just watched your new "Changing Eye Color in CS2" video.
Excellent! I really appreciate the typed notes, it helps reinforce what you're saying.
Thanks so much for your hard work.

"Hello Shane,
I tried both changing eye colour and find to them be excellent techniques. I must tell you that as a printer I take the techniques into the workplace and find my job becomes so much easier.
Thanks

Another fantastic video, extremely easy thanks to your excellent
demonstration.
I have given blue eyes to all my five brown eyed grandchildren, and they look like the real thing.
Thanks Shane, I get so excited when your email arrives announcing another new video.
All the Best

"Hi Shane,
The tutorial is great, like all your vids it is easy to follow and shows how to get professional results easily.
I'd have to say the videos are getting slicker and the presentation of them just keeps on getting better all the time. (singing may not be your forte but I have heard worse so no reason to give up all hope) : )
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Scott"
"Hi Shane,
I think it is a great tutorial. It makes it all look very easy, which most things are in PS when you know how!
I find the browns are more difficult however to achieve than the blues/greens and other weird colours.
Best regards
Robin Jensen
"Hi Shane,
Thank you for making these video tutorials so easy to follow. I am learning allot from the videos and feeling more confident to work on photos applying what I am learning from the videos.
I received my second DVD last week Thank you!
Once again keep up the great work and may this website grow even bigger and better.
Thanking You
Ajar Naidoo"
"Shane,
Enjoyed this video and especially appreciated the "text" hints typed on the top of the screen as you were physically altering the eye color.
Sure love your site!
Thanks
Barb"
"Hi Shane,
I keep learning and learning with your video tutorials. I love how you've chunked short lessons, with each only 2-5 minutes long.
For my learning style, I usually watch a lesson all the way through, and then repeat, stopping the video to duplicate your action with my own photo.
Sometimes I'll watch several times until your steps become second nature. Over the years, I've taken several classroom sessions on Photoshop and a couple online courses. Your short lessons are superior.
Thanks so much.
Susan Hoffmann
"Shane,
Thanks for all the information specially the tips and technique found in your video tutorials!!!
I am totally amaze that I myself can do basic photoshop!
Thanks alot you've been a blessing to all of us!
Continue the good deeds and it shall repay you back!!!
God bless always and have a nice day!
Lecille Emverda"
