Product Description
This critically acclaimed training program from Adobe Press and video2brain combines exceptional quality high-definition video and a printed reference to teach the fundamentals of Photoshop CS6 as well as the basic principles of graphic design. Structured around the objectives of the Adobe Certified Associate exam “Visual Communication Using Adobe Photoshop CS6”, the product includes 15 hours of video tutorials, complete with lesson files, assessment quizzes, and review materials. The video’s unique interface allows the viewer to jump to any topic and bookmark individual sections. The unique Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow the student to follow along with the instructor in Photoshop. Project files are included on the DVD-ROM, which is bundled with a printed booklet that provides supplemental material to enhance the video training.
Experienced instructor Kelly McCathran presents a comprehensive introduction to Photoshop, including best practices as well as fundamental photography & image editing concepts. Beginning with Photoshop’s new workspace she then goes on to cover Photoshop’s powerful tools including features new to CS6 such as video editing, creating 3D text and objects, and much-needed Character and Paragraph styles.

Value for money !, By

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop CS6: Learn by Video: Core Training in Visual Communication (Paperback)
Learn by video has got to be the best way to learn Photoshop.Well set out, easy to follow tutorials, allow you to master each facet of the Photoshop program as your time allows. The way you can be working in photoshop and still have a tutorial running makes practising what you are learning very easy. I think it is great, value for money (don't get scammed by the numerous Photoshop learning videos on the net),and it is easy. A great reference tool that you will come back to for years to come. Buy it. Andy

Best I,ve ever used, By

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop CS6: Learn by Video: Core Training in Visual Communication (Paperback)
Every time a new version of Photoshop comes out I either get a Learning Tutorial from Photoshop User or VTC and I've been doing this since Photoshop 4.0 (NOT Photoshop CS4). Those tutorials are good but in my opinion Adobe Photoshop CS6 Learn By Video is by far a better and easier way of learning Photoshop.Kelly McCathran, the author of Learn By Video, teaches you in a nice easy and organized pace. The tips and shortcuts she brings out are tips I never knew existed in Photoshop. Extremely good for beginners, novices and even people that have been using Photoshop for years. For the price and what you get out of this DVD you can't go wrong.

GREAT TUTORIAL!, By

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop CS6: Learn by Video: Core Training in Visual Communication (Paperback)
It would be hard to imagine a video tutorial that is so simple and so complete in every respect. I certainly am a beginner so I have no idea if a Pro would be pleased but if you are trying to learn this complicated software you can't go wrong with this product.
