Lewis Kemper is an outstanding teacher. He really knows what he is teaching and provides clear handouts with real-life examples.

He answers all questions in a timely manner and is always there to answer our questions.

Thanks, Lewis, and Better Photo for another great class.

I can't recommend Lewis' classes enough...he is so knowledgeable about Photoshop and is a great instructor! I've learned so much and increased my knowledge of PS thanks to Lewis! He's always there to answer our questions and quick to critique assignments. No question is out of line or considered dumb...he's great about helping you understand and learn the features and techniques from the assignments! AWESOME!

I started with Toolbox 3, even though I know very little of PS. It's an OUTSTANDING course, easy to follow and understand. Lewis exaplains each lesson going step by step on each process, making it easy to understand, even for beginners. I'm looking forward to his Toolboxes 1 & 2! Thank you Lewis!!!

I enjoyed the course very much. The other two courses (toolbox 1 and 2) were more useful to me. Lewis Kemper is a very good teacher, no doubt. I look forward to his next course.

I did not find this course as useful as I had hoped. The lessons on Rainbows and Snow and Rain seem very gimicky to me and the final photographs seem unnatural. However, other lessons will probably be useful; I just have not had the time to really work with the material.
I would urge that all Photoshop courses be modified to include Lightroom - which I think will make some difference in how the classes are presented.
This is my second course with Lewis and he is an excellent teacher.
This particular course had very few students and virtually no questions or back and forth discussion between classmates. I note that only one student submitted anything for the last lesson.

This is the third class with Lewis and, as always, wonderful. He is supportive and helpful, especially when you get confused. I look forward to enjoying other courses with him

I have taken PS 1 and 3. Lewis has made PS accessible. Thanks to Lewis, I now have enough understanding that I can start to go play with my images. He has given me powerful tools to improve my images. Thanks!

I look forward to PS 2!

Only 6000 characters are allowed in this review? Oh no!!!

Toolbox #3 is my tenth Better Photo class, and the third one (I did them in order) with Lewis. Of all the classes I've taken, and many have been excellent, the Toolbox series stand out as the most important in both my photographic development and in my technical Photoshop skills. I can't believe that I have learned so much in a short time.

Someone's review above talked about the difference from reading a CS2 book and interacting with Lewis's assignments. The difference is incomparable. I'm a fourth grade teacher and Lewis has even helped me with my teaching skills by reminding me to ask questions and to interact and follow directions, no easy task for any of us.

We all live in a world where no one wants to read the manual anymore. Adobe makes theirs so dry that I don't even open the cover. I have a few how-to Photoshop books that show me tricks like sharpening eyes or softening skin. Lewis's instruction is more global and more relevant to overday pictures; skills like creating neutral density filters and masks have really improved my skills, and by doing with each lesson, my addlepated brain can even remember most of what he's taught me in the lesson.

Best of all, Lewis is so accessible, and so timely. It's really important to get feedback, even negative feedback, in a quick manner so that mistakes can be corrected quickly. Today when I uploaded an assignment, it was within an hour or two that he acknowledged receiving it, and I know that within a day or two at the most, a critique will be living in my mailbox.

As others have said, I really look forward to Lewis's new classes, and when he teaches Lightroom, I'm sure that people will be beating down his door to sign up.

Don't hesitate, if you are wondering about any of the Toolbox classes, have no qualms. Lewis is the consummate pro.

Thank you for everything that you've taught me, Lewis.

Excellency! I said it about Toolbox 1 - but it holds just as true for Toolbox 3. The way Lewis is assisting you until doing your Assignments correctly, solving problems that you might run into, is very rewarding and creative. I look already look forward to my next class - Toolbox 2. These Classes are THE WAY to learn Photoshop!

Thanks Lewis!

Lewis is an excellent and patient instructor. Having completed #1 #2 and #3, I now eagerly await #4. These lessons have removed much of the mystery surrounding cs2.

I have taken all 3 of the Toolbox courses and I cannot tell you how it has both changed and helped my editing. I have learned so much and it has been very enjoyable. Lewis brings humor and a sensible workable approach to his methods and I wish there were 3 more to take!
