Jesus moves quickly through the topics, but his descriptions are very clear and the screen visual aids he uses to show where his cursor's positioned make it easy to follow his steps. Owning the class allows viewers to pause & absorb the info he demos. He covers some of the most challenging aspects of compositing images that can affect how believable the end results are. So the content is valuable in that regard. This may not be an ideal class for a complete newbie to Ps. But with a lot of pausing someone could pick up a lot. Also, it's not essential to have Ps 2021 for a lot of the class, but some features/buttons are only available in Ps 2021. You'd have to figure out workarounds in older Ps versions for those few steps. Highly recommend!
