"After years of teaching and researching Photoshop, I decided to start putting out some of the hundreds of tricks and tips that I have assembled over the years as a result of frustration with the lack of free, good quality video training on the web. Not everyone has the dough to pay for the excellent Total Training packages, so I thought I would start to plug in the holes."
