The course was useful and informative, and I would recommend it. However, the audio narration was extremely poor in quality: different voices were used, the tone of voice kept changing, and there was a vibrating echo. This made it difficult to follow.
Toller Kurs. Sehr inspirierend. Ich habe viel gelernt und viele Inputs bekommen.
Práctico y claras las explicaciones. Creo que va más dirigido a gente que pretende usar el Photoshop.
Very good course.
But judging by the presentation, I expected more...
10 puntos. el curso es muy completo
