Browse the Photoshop courses below—popular starting points on Coursera.
While Photoshop does not offer its full Professional Certificates, Specializations, or courses for free, there are two ways to ensure you have selected the best topic and program to meet your goal.
If you want to keep learning, earn a certificate from Photoshop, or unlock full course access after the preview or trial, you can upgrade or apply for financial aid.‎
If you want to use Photoshop for photo editing, graphic design, or digital art, having a clear goal can guide your learning. Regular practice with the software, exploring its tools and features, enhances your skills. Join communities like Adobe forums or Reddit’s r/photoshop for tips and feedback. Work on real projects such as editing photos or creating original designs. Coursera offers Graphic Design Specialization by California Institute of the Arts that includes comprehensive training in Photoshop.‎
While anyone can learn Photoshop, it helps to have basic computer skills so you'll better understand how to implement what you learn to do with the software. A background or interest in graphic design or digital art can also be helpful, as can a background in web design. Any sort of artistic or creative experience involving photos or graphics, whether it's a hobby or a career, may be beneficial when learning and using Photoshop. This could include experience in anything from photography to fashion design and visual effects to advertising.‎
