If you have seen the Adobe Photoshop CS3 One-On-One book review that I did back a while ago, you will have some idea what all of this one-on-one stuff is all about. The Photoshop CS3 One-On-One training video's from Lynda.com are like the book, but on steroids. The DVD contains over 30 hours of one-on-one training.

For Part II, Photoshop CS3 One-On-One: Beyond The Basics contains over ten hours of video training covering nine lessons that will take you to the next level of Adobe Photoshop CS3 as taught by Deke McClelland; the award winning author and Photoshop Hall-of Famer.

The preface, “Starting Up,” introduces you to dynamic learning, gets you set up and gives you other
