Video Training Review - PhotoshopSecrets CS3 For Digital Photographers With Colin Smith From PhotoshopCAFE - Page 3

There are a lot of things that I like about PhotoshopSecrets CS3 For Digital Photographers first and foremost I like the layout and the presentation of the material. It is straight forward, concise, and complete. It is easy to understand and follow along with. The images are included so that you can work with the author as you learn the techniques as presented. Sprinkled throughout are many tips that will make your life easier.

Next I absolutely love the interface of the video. As you can see from the image above, at the bottom is a navigational control. The dialog to the left is also a retractable navigation control that shows the information on the chapter that is highlighted. The dark background eliminates distracting items from your field of view. At the top, if you have question, you can click and be taken to the PhotoshopCAFE forums to ask your questions. It is very well thought out and extremely user friendly.

The retail price of PhotoshopSecrets CS3 For Digital Photographers is $99.99 USD, but for a limited time you can get it for $79.99 and save 20% when you purchase it from PhotoshopCAFE. I highly recommend this video if you want to get the most from Adobe Photoshop CS3.
