I’ve seen Photoshop training from so many people over the years. I run the popular user group in LA, the LA Web Professionals Group. I have to say Colin is the best Photoshop instructor out there. All of his training titles that I have seen are top notch. He knows how to get people interested in creating great things in Photoshop and can inspire the advanced user like me just as well as inspiring beginners. The members at my user group always get excited when Colin comes out to speak. Keep up the great work and looking forward to all of the amazing upcoming titles.
