Takes the manual up a level
I have been using DP8 for years, but I can't express how valuable it is to watch the workflows of a professional who applies these tools in useful ways. Eli does a great job of explaining clearly at just the right pace. I create instructional videos for a living, and he is a master. I purchased DP8 Explained and this Advanced set and have found valuable insights in almost every video.
