I am very satisfied with the tutorials. However, I think other basics such as drawing tools, slices, ruler tool, guides, should be included. Other tutorials that I think should be forthcoming include clipping paths, what blending modes do, smart objects and the "layer" menu. I really do think it's important for you to keep up with Photoshop developments and keep adding to your rerpertoire - for both commercial reasons and customer satisfaction. You have a good product but the ball needs to be kept rolling; nothing in the digital world is standing still and your customers want to keep up with it all, I'm sure.

I have found that all training I have from MacProVideo.com is in fact, the best yet I have found and I've had others.

More than pleased. Highly recommended.

The great thing with MacProVideo tutorials is that even if you do not master english because you are not a native, the quality of the sound and the image makes it easy to understand. The speakers are perfect. The interface is brilliant. I really learn like I would go to the pictures. I sit back, I relax and I learn !
I think it overdelivers.
Thanks for producing such good tutorials.
