Good overview and I learned a lot of handy steps even though I have self-taught myself a bit on Photoshop. The section on Text was troubling for me as my computer would not duplicate what was shown. After rewinding video many times, I figured out there were two settings in the options bar that were unclicked on the lesson video, that my computer automatically had clicked on. After unclicking the options, I was able to duplicate the steps. So, there are critical elements that went unmentioned in the video. Also, recommend doing a new version - we're on Photoshop 22 and the video was of PS 2014. Significant changes since then! I often had to hunt for features and some don't exist anymore.
