Excellent course! I've learned so much already and so many lessons available! The one thing I would change is to clarify which setting as in Essentials, Painting, Photography, etc. to use to find the tools in PS CC. I've had to work a little bit to find the right place, but once I did, the lessons were just what I needed. Highly recommended - especially for the low price!

Found the instructor to go a bit fast for a real beginner like myself. The movement of the mouse was quick with no explanation as to where and why he was going there. The main points were made clearly...it was just the setting up the next move that was a bit fast. Found myself stopping it, going back to see if I could follow the move tool in just about every lesson. Other than that small bit of instruction...I enjoyed the lessons. I now have to go back and see what I remembered. Thanks.
