Lecturer speaks to fast. It´s hard to follow up and I need to keep pausing and rewinding to repeat the commands in Photoshop. His pocasts and courses are great. Great teacher. I´m just suggesting that for steps where the student needs to repeat in the SW, he goes at a slower pace.

This course actually covers a lot of basics of Photoshop. I took the course knowing very little in PS and finished able to do some neat composite images and blending. Well done!
