Yeah, I understand completely. I personally like both video and some printable support material, but I dont
Have to have it. Also, different people have different modalities that they learn best with. For example, my fiance who is a photographer and retoucher can NOT for the life of her learn from a book; she gets confused and overwhelmed. Yet, she can watch me do something one time and she's got it.
Learning is as personal and unique to each person as their artistic style and work flow.
AS far as if the DVDs are worth it?
That's simple to answer.
First, find out what exactly is taught and i do believe the author shows samples of what is on each DVD.
Second, ask yourself
"Could I perform this same retouch/composition technique right now if a client requested?" If yes...then there you go.
If you answer 'No, I couldn't'. Then all thats left is to ask
"Would I want to know how to do these techniques taught on this DVD set?" Third, If yes....then there you go.
