The Tutorial Library

Over 500 step-by-step tutorials covering Photoshop, compositing, photography, and editing workflows. Learn through real projects from start to finish, with lessons designed to build skills you can use in your own work.

The Creator Studio
Thousands of professional digital assets are organized into ready-to-use collections, including overlays, brushes, textures, backgrounds, actions, and backdrops. Designed to save you time and support your edits and client work.

New tutorials and collections are added regularly, so you always have something new to learn and create with.

Not at all.

Many members start with no or basic Photoshop knowledge and grow from there.

Tutorials are taught step by step, with clear explanations of both how and why things are done, so you can follow along without feeling overwhelmed.

All you need is Photoshop!

While many members are photographers, Tara Lesher Education is also for hobbyists, parents creating for their families, and digital artists who enjoy compositing, backgrounds, textures, and creative storytelling.

If you enjoy creating images in Photoshop, you will feel at home here.

You use your own version of Adobe Photoshop, and the membership teaches you how to use it creatively and intentionally through hands-on projects, downloadable tools, and step-by-step tutorials that focus on real workflows, creative decision-making, and building confidence, not just shortcuts.

The tutorial library spans many versions of Photoshop, reflecting over a decade of teaching. Older tutorials were created in earlier versions, while newer tutorials may include features added in more recent updates. If you are using an older version of Photoshop, some newer tools shown in recent tutorials may not be available to you, but the core techniques and creative processes still apply.

Please note that Action collections and certain advanced tools used throughout the membership do not work in Elements, so a full version of Photoshop is recommended for the best experience.
