"Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
Your tutorials for Photoshop are absolutely the best I have seen anywhere, and I have tried to follow countless books, articles and other online help sites. Your directions are clear, easy to follow, and completely accurate. It is such a pleasure learning how to do different things in a way that does not leave me totally frustrated and ready to give up and go to bed!! I just wanted to let you know how much your tutorials are appreciated!!"
"Just a quick note to let you know that I love, love, love the tutorials. I found them because I was looking for info on how to use the pen tool - a tool which, given that I am a freaking Professional Illustrator and all, cannot BELIEVE I avoided for so long. I am now in the mental penalty box feeling much shame. I also now realize there's like a million other things I have failed to learn about the program I use every day."
"Your site is truly the best! Period! Before I really did not know how to use Photoshop and now I have become obsessed with it!!!! Thanks so much for your wonderful step by step instructions!!"

"Your article on Blending Modes was written really well and taught me a lot! I've been using these for awhile now with no earthly clue about the functionality. I simply used them visually, but now I have an arsenal of knowledge that I can use to better apply these modes, and I really appreciate that you helped me out with that."
"I have just discovered your site, and wanted to say a big thank you!

I'm currently running a photography course and I have been recommending your tutorials to all my students!"
"I'm just writing to thank you for the many easy to understand tutorials. They're far and away the most enjoyable I've come across. I had been struggling with Photoshop for a couple of years and in spite of seeking help have never been able to get to grips with it. However, after working my way through your Photoshop basics I'm becoming more confident and now feel as if I am starting to get the best out of both the program and my photos. Thank you so much."
"I thought I knew nothing about Photoshop when I came across your tutorials but one of the photo effects caught my eye so I decided to try it just for a laugh, thinking there's no way I could do it. And you know what? It worked! I tried more of them and couldn't believe the results!

I'm an absolute beginner to Photoshop and was able to create amazing effects without a single problem thanks to your incredibly easy to follow tutorials! I just wanted you to know how impressed I am."
"Thank you for saving my sanity. I've been fumbling around in the dark with Photoshop for a while now, I've bought a couple of 'how to's' and sat through numerous online tutorials, but none really explained things for a complete novice.

Steve Patterson is an absolute master of elucidation! So thanks a lot - I can now stop banging my head on the keyboard in frustration."

I have been struggling to know how to do some effects with Photoshop but couldn't until I did a search on Google and came across your site. Very straight forward and cool. This morning alone, within just a few minutes I have achieved so much!"
"I have recently discovered your website and was amazed at all the effects you can create with Photoshop!"

"Steve, if you ever write a book on anything that has to do with Photoshop, please let me know so I can rush out and buy it without hesitation. No one, and I mean no one, explains things like you do!"
"I'm a Photoshop beginner and I really, really enjoy your tutorials. They're so well explained and I like your humor as well. Thanks so much!"
"I'm currently taking photography in college and many students, including myself, were having trouble understanding Photoshop. My instructor recommended your tutorials to us, and after working through some of them, all I can say is, why weren't we using your tutorials to begin with? They're brilliant!"
"I signed up for a six month membership a couple of months ago, and I've been glued to my computer having so much fun with Photoshop thanks to your tutorials! In fact, my wife just commented on how many times she's heard me say 'Wow, I didn't know you could do that!'"
"I'm completely new to Photoshop and these tutorials are awesome! I'm able to follow every step and get great results every time! Your tutorials make me feel great about myself!"
"I'm a wedding photographer and I just wanted to tell you that your 'Blend Photos Like A Movie Poster' effect has been impressing client after client. Every time I show the finished result, I get the biggest smiles, and sometimes even tears (the good kind). You've made me look like a million bucks, and I can't thank you enough."
"I just wanted to thank you for your great Photoshop tutorials! Your explanations of things are the very best!"
"I've been a technical writer for over 35 years, having worked for several major tech corporations, and I've never come across anyone who can explain complicated topics with ease like Steve Patterson."
"I finally found what I have been looking for. Your tutorials are just outstanding. I really enjoy your writing style (it is so simple to follow) and you describe every single action in such great detail - unbelievable. I am a beginner and can't stop reading and practicing with them. They are addictive. "
"Thank you for the awesome tutorial by Steve Patterson on RGB and Color Channels. Easy to read, easy to understand, explanatory, technical terms well defined. 10 minutes later and I know a whole lot more than I did before I read it."
"I read the tutorial on creating a rainbow effect by Steve Patterson. As a former computer teacher and writer/editor of computer tutorials for my staff, I would like to complement you on the quality of your writing. It's clear, easy to understand, abundantly illustrated with helpful/critical diagrams and photos, and, most importantly, you explain WHY a particular instruction is carried out. Many tutorials say "click here", "do this", etc. but you don't understand why or how the action can apply in other situations. Your explanations avoid this all-too-common pitfall. Thank you so much!"
