Photoshop Inside & Out video tapes with Bert Monroy and David Biedny.
by Steve Shelden
How would you like having Photoshop experts Bert Monroy and David Biedny come into your living room and teach you the program? If you're like the rest of us, you have read and learned from some of their books on Photoshop. Well, now you can learn from them on a series of video tapes. They show you how to do things I have not seen in Photoshop books, and they do it in such a way that it's easily understood. On video tape you have the added benefit of being able to rewind if you miss a point at first. Depending on what level you are at, you can find a video tape to match your skills.
What I especially like is their humor at the beginning of each tape. I have tried other video tapes on Photoshop and they would put me to sleep before I could learn anything. Both Bert and David will keep you awake with their interesting way of showing you their tips and tricks. They show you dialog boxes that you can actually read which is really helpful when following along with the exercises. I put the tape on pause and go over to my computer and try it out. You can spend hundreds of dollars on seminars but you can't take them home with you. For $59.95 for most tapes, it's a bargain when compared to most other training and you have it forever! For a limited time, they are offering a 40% discount to our members. Just send me an email at shelden@wgn.net and I will give you instructions for getting this special discount. Visit their website at www.photoshopio.com and see preview clips of the tapes.
