Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book (2020 release)

Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book (2020 release) is a hands-on guide to Adobe’s flagship image editor, shaped for readers who learn best by doing. Built around 15 project-based lessons, it moves steadily from the essentials of the Photoshop interface into the real-world tasks that matter most in day-to-day editing and production work.

Learn Photoshop the Adobe way

This official training workbook takes a practical route through the software: selecting and correcting images, building layered compositions, refining masks, shaping type, drawing with paths, and preparing files for print and the web. The lesson structure makes it easy to follow from start to finish or to jump directly to a topic you want to practice.

A strong foundation, with room to grow

The 2020 release reflects Photoshop’s newer workflow features alongside the fundamentals. Readers encounter tools and techniques such as Object Selection, Cloud Documents, upgraded Content-Aware Fill, gradients, shapes, Camera Raw workflows, and other everyday production skills. That mix makes the book useful both as an introduction and as a structured refresher.

Built for active practice 📚

Because the lessons are step-by-step and project based, the book is especially helpful for learners who want clear direction without giving up the chance to experiment. Companion files support the exercises, helping each chapter feel like a working session rather than a passive read.
