"I am a graphic designer who works for a printing company and I have been using Photoshop almost since it came out. I've watched VHS tapes, read numerous books, subscribed to VTC training online videos and numerous other DVD's, CDs too numerous to even figure out how many.
Your "Photoshop Secrets CS2 for Digital Photographers" is by far the _/*most superior*/_ (if I am allowed to use two adjetives) training device I've yet to use. I will watch the whole CD and surely use it as my only reference tool from now on." Bob Weidner - PA 8/10/05

I conducted a review a while back on v 1.5 of Knock out vs Photoshop and a review on Version 2
