Curso muy bueno y con un ejercicio interesante, pero requiere conocimiento previo de photoshop. No es un curso para iniciarse en el software. La información se entrega en forma muy rápida y es necesario hacer varias visualizaciones de los videos para entender totalmente. Podría explicarse en forma más pausada tomándose el tiempo necesario para explicar. A pesar de ello el curso es muy recomendable.
