Introducing the Photoshop Virtual Summit II
An amazing 5 days of practical training from leading Photoshop experts
FEATURING SOME OF THE TOP PHOTOSHOP INSTRUCTORS IN THE WORLD!
40 Expert-lead Classes Over 5 Days
Last April, with the help of an incredible team of instructors, I put together the first-ever Photoshop Virtual Summit. The response to the event was amazing, and one of the most common comments was "I can't wait for the next one!"
So I'm thrilled to announce the Photoshop Virtual Summit II!
And I'm very excited to introduce you to the instructor team for this event, made up of lots of your favorites from last time, and great new additions. As with the last Summit, I asked my instructor team to put together not only real-world, practical Photoshop sessions, but also to provide notes and practice files. This is a true educational event!
Your instructors for this event include best-selling authors, Adobe MAX Masters, Adobe Certified Instructors, and members of the Photoshop Hall of Fame.
You'll learn from experts such as Matt Kloskowski, Corey Barker, Colin Smith, Ben Willmore, Kristina Sherk, Blake Rudis, Sebastian Michaels, Glyn Dewis, Mark Heaps and many others.
Every single training session is designed to take your Photoshop knowledge and skill to the next level - regardless of whether you're just starting out, or have years of experience.
I hope you join us for this amazing learning experience!

Who is this Summit best suited to?
We have session aimed at all levels of Photoshop users, from beginners to veteran users. No matter your use of Photoshop, there will be sessions that will increase your effectiveness with the program.
Is this the same content as the last Photoshop Summit?
No! While there will naturally be some overlap in key areas such as layers, selections and retouching, we've put together a brand-new schedule of classes. There are new classes on topics like Lab Color, creating Brushes, Panoramas, Cinemagraphs, Video in Photoshop, advanced selection techniques and much more.
What time does it start?
Technically, each day starts at 8am ET, however that's just when the class goes live. Each session is available for 48 hours so you don't need to worry about getting up an some crazy time of day to watch "live". You won't miss anything by watching later.
What if I can't watch a class live?
Each day new classes go live and remain available for 48 hours, giving you lots of opportunity to catch any class – you don't have to watch it "live" when it is released. The Optional VIP Pass gives ongoing access to the recordings of all the sessions.
How do I figure out my time zone?
It doesn't really matter because although classes go live at specific times, they remain available for 48 hours. And you won't miss anything if you aren't watching at a specific time. (But for reference, the times are in EST and you can use this time zone calculator).
Who is running this event?
It's the brainchild of and being run by Dave Cross LLC (Dave Cross and his wife). Not a big company with lots of employees and support staff - just the two of us. So we ask for your understanding and patience as we attempt to handle any issues that may come up before, during or after the Summit. Thanks!
What if I can't make the event during November 9 - 13th?
The optional VIP Access Pass gives you lifetime access to all the sessions, along with extra benefits including audio only recordings, session notes and practice exercises and downloadable files.
Who are the Speakers at the Summit?
We are thrilled to have a "who's who" of best-selling authors, award-winning instructors, and some of the best Photoshop teachers on the planet sharing their knowledge at this summit! The instructor team includes Ben Willmore, Corey Barker, Matt Kloskowski, Dave Cross, Khara Plicanic, Sebastian Michaels, Blake Rudis, Kristina Sherk, Kelvin Pimont, Anya Anti, Colin Smith, Lisa Carney and many more. It's an unprecedented Instructor Team for an online event!
Is the Summit really just Online?
Since all in-person events continue to be canceled or postponed, we felt that they only safe choice was to once again offer this event exclusively online.
Can't I just watch the videos later on Youtube?
All classes are free to watch during a 48 hour period after their release each day, but after that the videos will be deleted from Youtube. You can get lifetime access to watch the videos (along with other extras) with the VIP Pass.
