Not as much as our Prez... who saved my life a few minutes ago!
again!I was very interested with that tutorial which has many merits:
- The pronunciation is clear (there are many accents I can't understand, as well as bad jokes, that's the reason why I don't like many videos)
- It is an intelligent tut about using the new features in CS very efficiently.
Like most tuts on the web, the author plays the magician, and does not describe clearly the visual changes produced by the different steps: you have a mixture of local contrast, blur and blackening the shadows. I suppose it is the same with cooking recipes. The problem met by Elements users is that generally it is a bad idea to try to reproduce each CS step. The B&W layer is a kind of magician's power, and as mentionned by Bayla, if you don't have the ease of smart filters, you spend a little more time with trial and error...
