Sorry, Larry, but I do not appreciate the presentation (even though there
is some reasonable rational behind it.):
Too much fluff/hype and very little essence.
All of that could be summarized in one sentence:
"Do not OVERDO!" or "Use your head, you stupid!".
Ten videos of 4-10 minutes each for that stuff? It could easily have
been covered in one 5-minute video. This is a prime example of the
misuse of video on the web: Doing it because it's easy to do (just use
screen capture software for the video and real-time narration) rather
than because it's the best way of delivering the message. I see tons
of things like that that are only in video form because those
responsible are too fscking lazy to *write* (as provide a few screen
shots).
I will spare the list my full on rant about the lack of written
documentation on Lightroom. I do not want to watch five minutes of
video when I could scan a written page in 15 seconds, or less, to find
the thing I'm looking for. Adobe won't even publish the scripts for
their online tutorials.
I did pick up a couple of handy items from watching the video, like
using the option key when using the sliders to see clipping points.
Unfortunately, with everything being on video and my hating video, most
of what I know about lightroom is self taught/discovered, so I'm missing
a lot of handy little things because I never discovered them.
Watching a couple of them, the headlines may scream "don't ever do this"
but what he actually says is to be aware of what you are doing and when,
and if you over do it, chances are that it'll suck.
