Regarding the marketing, well its difficult. Tutorials I dislike are speed tutorials with 2000BPM techno music in the background with no talking whatsoever how is anyone ever meant to learn like that? I prefer step by step but i'm adaptable and willing to learn with a bit of patience. Tutorials are needed for both beginners and more advanced users. As a trainer at Apple I approach things differently and it's so much easier when teaching in a group or One to One as I can see and determine your level of understanding and cater towards that, that's going to be very difficult in a video. I agree there are some great tutorials from the team and I know I wouldn't be able to do what I do without them. With a complex program like AF, there are going to be lots more users thanks to help like yours. Do more advanced users dislike detailed, step-by-step tutorials? I would think they'd just simply skip the parts they don't need.Īnyhow, thanks for your commitment to keeping it clear. So many people give up on Photoshop precisely because it's too overwhelming, and tutorials that leave one frustrated just reinforce that impression. I could be wrong, but I do think the marketing of AF would benefit greatly from clearer tutorials. Too bad all of his tutorials don't follow this same format - there are so many good subjects covered - but as you noted frustration is apparently part of the process. No doubt Simon's tutorials are meant for the more advanced user, but I see he has begun a series for the novice and they're considerably easier to follow. It works pretty good, but only if the steps are there in the first place. My process is to watch the tutorial on my iPad while I have AF open on my iMac and apply each step, pausing the tutorial if necessary. That's just the type of help I need to accomplish the task. A bit difficult to see the cursor, but you verbalized each step as you took it and didn't leave out the minor actions. I took a look at some of your tutorials and found them much easier to follow.
