PlusFantastic course: I was stunned by the many videos on post production, and I learned extremely important editing techniques. I watched this course with this site's often unintelligible English captions, but I could understand by carefully watching every step. Marti's Capture One and Photoshop program desktops were in English- thankfully for me, an English only speaker. The course is so brilliantly organized and expertly presented, it was well worth that effort.
