Join Seán Duggan for an in-depth discussion in this video Exercise files, part of Create a Portrait Collage in Photoshop.
- [Voiceover] If you have access to the exercise files for this course, you can download them to your computer desktop as I've done here. You'll see that I have organized all of the images that we'll be working on in this course into different folders based on the different chapters. If you're viewing this course on a mobile device, a set-top device, or your membership doesn't provide access to the exercise files, that's okay. You can still follow along by watching how I use the files, or you can also use your own portrait images.
