I've been looking for a tutorial like this for awhile. Thank you so much! Lots of great info!

[@envatotuts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PaulCosquer]

Nice course. Concise and clear. but I don't agree with one point in Links panel customization. I think it's better to check "Effective DPI" rather than Actual DPI. "Actual DPI" is the resolution set in PS. "Effective DPI" is the resolution of the image placed in ID. Cause you often need to scale your picture's frame in ID, your resolution is going to change. "Effective DPI" will show you the resolution after scaling. I think it's more accurate.

Classes with Ashlee are great. Unbelievable!!!
I wonder if a video on how to process the photo (colors, light and dark areas) when sending the job to print is possible?
