It's not cheap - $299, but you get 7 DVDs of lessons and 1 CD of sample files. It's by Deke McClelland - the guy who writes all of the Photoshop Bible books. I didn't want a set of videos because I don't want to have to set up a TV and try to watch a video while I'm working on the computer. The DVDs seem to be a good solution. http://www.totaltraining.com/store/2003/tt_products/AdobePhotoshopCSComplete.asp?mscsid I think it has about 27 hours of lessons. I've always intended to go to one of those Photoshop workshops, but they are never near me when I have time to go to them so I thought I'd be able to work on this whenever I can get around to it. I read a lot of reviews and all of them really praised this series of lessons. One said you would make back the money in no time with the tips you learn and the time you save processing your photos based on these lessons. The first thing they have you do is set up your Photoshop options the same way Deke has his. I like that because there are so many options, I never know how or why to choose what! Now if I can just find time to start the lessons . . .
