I enjoyed the course and learned a lot but gave it 3 stars because the resources are not complete. In the course, the presenter worked on images which are not in the resources and also used actions, which he promised in the videos, which are not in the resources.

The techniques the author uses are beyond what I expected. He compares the use of Adobe Bridge with Adobe Camera RAW. Then shows this way of fixing fabric in a way I have not seen from other Udemy instructors before. This author knows his stuff!
