Peter –
THIS DVD CHANGED MY LIFE! I started learning photoshop as an artist and the process was foreign to me and frustrating. I had tried expensive workshops, even hired a graphic designer for private lessons. After 5 months I finally found this amazing DVD by Patrick LaMontagne. It taught me everything I needed to know. Today I am an expert on photoshop and just about to launch my comic strip on Webtoons. Thank you Patrick and Photoshop Cafe. I still dip into these excellent lessons. Recently brushed up on my pen tool. Highly recommend this dvd.!!!!!!
