Gil,The DVD is the same course that lynda.com presents in their streaming videos and it includes the exercise files used in the tutorials. You can also get the exercise files by being a premium member, which I am not. If you are not sure about what you want to do, you could always just pay for one month of premium membership to try the tutorials with the exercise files, or just pay for one month of regular membership to get the tutorials without the exercise files. I personally pay $25 per month for a regular membership (no exercise files), but I bought a couple of the DVD courses simply because the instruction is so good in the photography section. Stephen R.

Stephen, So, are these DVDs from lynda.com the entire course plus added tutorials or are they only the added tutorials that one uses with the class. If the former, I would agree these could be worthwhile, but if the latter – how does one capture the course to use these? I'm not a lynda.com user, but am becoming more curious when discussions on different Yahoo groups make it sound so worthwhile.

Subject: Re: [photoshop-beginners] Lynda.com; pail classes for Photoshop Indeed, but if you really put it into perspective, it is about the same price as a semester course at a community college and quite a bit cheaper than most weekend seminars for an Adobe product. It is WAY cheaper than a university course in Photoshop, that's for sure!!! Tuition here in CA universities is high even if you are an in-state student!!!

A lot of the lynda.com courses have a DVD available that also includes exercise files. They are kind of pricey but in my opinion, they are worth it.

Is there a way to download lynda.com videos? -------Original Message------- Date: 7/15/2011 8:47:51 AM Subject: [photoshop-beginners] Lynda.com; Curvemeister.com online paid classes for photoshop Since I teach the curvemeister class I will obviously have a tainted view of this but....I have found that what you get out of on-line classes is directly related to what you put into them. I have taken some training from Kebly Training as well as a few others. They have a very wide range of levels and documentation. I would suggest strongly a class that has a forum board attached and provides a way to connect with the other students as well as the instructor. Most of my classes learn by comparing what they are doing to what others are doing at the same time. They answer questions for each other and learn together...It is always much better than being alone in a empty internet room. Also look for classes where the content is downloadable and hands on...Watching a video and taking notes does not make you good at Photoshop techniques. You need to practice and apply what you have seen and questioned...You also need to work on more images than just those in the class. Beging applying what you have learned to your images as soon as possible...It does take a leap of faith sometimes, but you will not get more informed than what you do when you make mistakes and get answers to your specific questions. | |
