Nevertheless, their assumptions clear out when they look up the traditional graphic designing softwares (like Adobe Photoshop and GIMP). These softwares are extremely difficult to learn. If you want to learn it then there are official tutorials available on their respective websites. However, mastering all of these softwares requires years of practice. Many people buy courses for learning these softwares faster however, they eventually realize that they just wasted their money. Because most of the courses that are available online are not that helpful and they also ask you practice a lot yourself.
