A senior engineer from NASA once said that this man gave the best technical seminar he ever attended. That same year a computer-phobic who had been struggling with Photoshop for years proclaimed that “He takes the Boogie Man out of Photoshop!” This seems to be Ben Willmore’s special gift; he has an uncanny ability to connect with users of every level and mindset. The common echo that Ben leaves in his wake seems to be “Aha! I finally GET Photoshop!” What’s the key to truly understanding Photoshop? Ben believes that it’s crucial to wrap your mind around the core concepts of a feature and understand why that feature is important before getting into the technical end of it. In teaching seemingly-complicated techniques, he relates the concepts to everyday knowledge (like dimmer switches for lighting – See video below) so the mind can connect them to something it already understands.
