Chris is a superbly accomplished photographer. If you're not familiar with masking, this is a great class to add some excellent options to your toolkit for everything from grading to cleaning. For $19, a total gem.

It would have been nice if the Advanced Masking Actions were posted with the class materials. It is kind of a spam to hold people hostage and make them give Chris Knight their name and email address to get what they paid for, and it would also be nice if you are going to extort personally identifying information, the least you could do is post the URL in class materials. For all those who haven't found them, you get them by signing up for the Chris Night Spam list at: http://blog.chrisknightphoto.com/action/ as for the class, it was very good.
