This DVD by Ben Willmore is as good as one of his live lectures. He gives tips that I could not find in other photoshop material plus I can watch it several times. The DVD is cost effective in that his classes are more expensive and you need to be available on his schedule. I am now shooting pictures in raw format and need to understand the different features of the RAW processor. Ben reveals the ins and outs of each tab and slider and why it is needed. The photoshop literature is very thin on explaining the details and never explain why. I can recommend this DVD to anyone interested in shooting pictures in the RAW format. In addition, Ben illustrates the interaction between this new format and the new file manager "The Bridge".
