Questions?
Is this class similar to the previous Brushshop offered in 2009?
Yes and no. Some parts of the Brush tool have not changed — like Shape Dynamics or Scattering. However, the photo-editing interface has changed allowing for better methods and options for using the tool. This class reflects those updates in both the Basics and Distressing weeks.
