Frequently Asked Questions

No, you do not. If you are on our previous subscription model, you can continue with monthly/annual payments. If you previously purchased the lifetime option, you will automatically gain access to all of the new Academy 2.0 updates. 

No, the Academy is one-time purchase. Once you've purchased, you will own all courses for life. The Academy does include one year access to our exclusive Photoshop community, after which you would need to subscribe for continued access. We do offer a 4-month payment plan for the Academy, however this is paid installments and not a subscription. 

First and foremost, you get the Nucly Photoshop Masterclass. My most comprehensive course on Photoshop, it is also the course I'm updating as Adobe releases new updates. Next, you get my three masterclasses: Color Grading, Creating Atmosphere and Basics for Photographers. Finally, you also get my Mastering Composites bundle—an ever-growing library of "paint along" courses that take you through a Photoshop project from beginning to end. I currently have 13 of these.

With the All-Access Nucly Academy, you get my full library of assets—including any future ones that I release.

• 9 overlay packs (sparks, fire, flames, embers, light rays, textured light and more).
• 5 foreground overlay packs (leaves and rose petals, with transparency and depth of field).
• 7 texture packs (grunge, concrete, wood, leathers and more).
• 6 preset packs, including my workflow actions, titling styles, color grading presets, gradient maps.
• 4 packs of backgrounds and skies.
• And finally, 12 packs of Photoshop brush presets with color overlays. These include my favorite pack—lens flares—and smoke & fog, dust, water, watercolor, clouds and more. And my newest sets of silhouette brushes.

These will remain in your library for life. When you sign up for the Academy, the rest of Nucly's products will appear in your library and you will own all of these as well.

We have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your purchase and can't get it resolved with our team, email [email protected] and you will be refunded. 

While I've loved to see our Nucly Facebook group grow to 15k members, it doesn't have the exclusivity that I want with my most active students. The new community is for Academy members and paying students only. In addition to posting your images, asking questions and chatting with other members (either in an open chat or through direct messages) the exclusive community also features challenges you can join, meetups and live events where I show you Photoshop tricks and answer your questions. 

There's a lot of controversy surrounding AI taking over artistic roles. The way I see it, the best approach to implementing AI is by giving artists AI-powered tools for image retouching and editing. This seems to be the approach Adobe is taking and in so far as it does, I don't see Photoshop losing its market position in image editing software.

I do see stronger AI art generators replacing illustrators and even stock photography and image sites, but that's a different conversation.
