I am a relative newcomer in the field of Photoshop I have a few pictures edited with different good and bad results. Matthias Schwaighofer has a learning DVD created here that has it all, you can first of the Chapter to what already learning (I at least), the didactic structure is more than successful and the chapters hang together perfectly. I was sure at the beginning if it is not already not me a level too high, this is not so it's all very understandable and built especially logically, so that you can implement nachehr tips or simultaneously. I personally need a chapter I view sometimes twice to understand everything but for me is not a problem.
I can therefore give my absolute buy recommendation and will remain faithful to this series for sure :)
