PhotoshopCAFE, Photoshop and Lightroom tutorials, tips and hacks.

Hi everyone, I'm Colin Smith and I've made my living for over 20 years using Adobe Photoshop. I do training for Adobe and Apple and I've written 22 books. If you're here to learn Photoshop, I have hundreds of easy to follow Photoshop Tutorials and tips for you, as well as Lightroom tutorials + occasional photography, design, tech or drone videos. There will always be lots of extra tips and things you only learn working in the real world with clients. If you use Photoshop, this is the place for you. I'm an Adobe Community Expert, BenQ Ambassador and Calibrate Ambassador

This is for photographers, designers, YouTube creators, startups and digital artists. Welcome to the CAFE on YouTube!

Happy birthday to my You Tube channel. It’s 19 today. 410,000 subscribers and 47,000,000 views later. I remember my late buddy Al Ward suggested I post on there. I did and posted here and there over the years, I really saw the growth when I got serious about it about a decade ago and have posted a video every week since. I’m really grown to love the platform and the amazing community we have built there. It’s a lot of work to build, but satisfying once a community is built,it’s not uncommon for 50,000 people or more to share in a video. I read every comment, (admittedly, I still let some get under my skin, but I’m getting better) and still try to respond to recent questions.

To make sure I'm making the right type of content, I have a question. What do you mainly do as a creator? If different, please write it in.

Super excited, my new book is officially released (my 22nd book)! The practical Guide to Generative ai in Photoshop! The focus of the book isn’t to generate art from scratch (although I show you my formula on how to write killer prompts). It’s about using ai to help fix and enhance your photos and art. Thanks to the amazing team at Rocky Nook for making this possible. Head to Amazon and order your copy today while stocks of the physical printed books last!
