Great content and great expalanations from Matt Hart on his Solver Efex workflow

By Keith Davies

I thought the course was pretty good. I've done a long exposure workshop with Matt and like his work so getting an insight into the simplicity of his workflow but also adjustment judgments he makes was really good.

By Benjamin Sendrow

It was advertized as a course on Lightroom, not a Nik plug in.

By Marlene Cohen

He was rushing through the course which was very basic.

By David Reider

The instructor's explanation or reasoning why he did certain things in post was interesting and clear. I would have like a little more information on NIK.
