My name is Rob de Winter.
I'm an Adobe Certified Instructor, Public Speaker, Author and Designer based in The Netherlands
Since 2018 I've been speaking at the Adobe MAX creativity conference. In 2024 MAX will be back in Miami, and I'll do a few live Photoshop lab sessions (October 14-16) and a full day Preconference together with Bart Van de Wiele on Sunday, October 13!
I created this page for last year's sessions (2023) where you can download the session workbook and find some additional information:
If you want to read more about Adobe MAX, take a look at the Adobe MAX website, and, you can find all available sessions in the MAX session catalog.
The Photoshop on the iPad book is now available in English! This book helps you make the most of Photoshops iPad-optimized interface, as well as combine Photoshop with other familiar Adobe iPad apps, from Lightroom to Fresco.
Packed with practical exercises, this guide also offers inspiring interviews with four world-renowned Photoshop artists, Ted Chin, Russell Brown, Frankie Cihi and Magdiel Lopez. You'll see how the pros use Photoshop on the iPad in their workflows, so they can do great work anywhere. And you can too!
Photoshop on the iPad Product Manager Ryan Dumlao wrote the foreword to this book.
You can buy the book at all major websites worldwide, such as Amazon.com, my publisher's web store (Pearson/Peachpit) and in your favorite book store.
In July 2024, I was a speaker at CreativePro Week, the essential HOW-TO conference for anyone who uses InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, or PowerPoint. June 2023 was my first CreativePro Week in Phoenix, and like last year, I loved the friendly atmosphere and high-quality sessions.
In Washington, DC, I presented two sessions: one on creating augmented reality experiences in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe Aero, and another one on essential AI tips in Adobe Photoshop, with lots of inspiring creative tips and tricks!

I think one of the greatest things to do is teach people how to make beautiful things. That's why I started my training agency DWM Trainingen in 2008.
The courses and workshops I provide are usually in Dutch, but of course they can also be given in English. I'm specialized in teaching Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Animate, Acrobat, graphic design and typography.
At DWM Trainingen I mainly teach small groups of up to 9 people, and also in-company to graphic designers at companies such as Philips, McDonalds, the United Nations, Canon, the Dutch government and national broadcasters.
Since 2024, I've been creating tutorial videos for the Adobe Learn Content team, specifically for Adobe Firefly, Photoshop and Illustrator. You can find these videos on the Creative Cloud website and in the relevant apps, such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. You can also go directly to some of the videos using the links below:

How do they achieve their magical results, what are their favorite Photoshop tools and where do they get their inspiration from?
The first edition of this book was published in March 2020, the second edition in July 2021.
As a Photoshop instructor I always noticed that users have trouble finding the unique Photoshop combinations that turn an ordinary photo into an exceptional one.
This book is full of lessons, interviews and amazing Photoshop examples. For me it was an amazing experience to design and write this book. You can buy it on all major websites, such as Amazon and Bol.com and in your favorite bookstore.
Photoshop op de iPad is my second (Dutch) book, and this time it's all about Photoshop on the iPad. This book isn't a manual, but a book full of tutorials in which you'll learn all the tools and possibilities of Photoshop on the iPad. It's released in April 2021.
For this book I interviewed three inspiring, professional artists who regularly work with Photoshop on the iPad: Ted Chin, Frankie Cihi and Magdiel Lopez. They show how they work with their iPads and you'll see inspiring examples.
Photoshop on the iPad Product Manager Ryan Dumlao wrote the foreword to this book.
Writing and designing this book and working closely with these great artists and the Adobe Photoshop team has been another amazing experience. You can buy the book at all major websites, such as Amazon and Bol.com, my publisher's web store and in your favorite book store.
