    This was perfect for me because I have a lot of experience with the shooting of the files to start the postproduction with, but My skills on doing the retouching after the shoot is not so strong. This was good, clear information. He talks of the workflow, the tools, how to do things in more than just one way, connecting the shooting, the editing and the retouching all together, putting information in a context. This was so far the best class I have bought from Creative Live. Thumbs up for Creative Live and Micke Kelley on this one.

    I have watched Mike Kelley's fstopper course, and this helped fill in some of the blanks for me. Some of the editing was a review, but I liked seeing how he took images from RAW to photoshop and then how he finishes them off.
