OMG, I thought I was going to learn about Layers and Photoshop. First, I have to get through Rob trying to convince me not to be afraid of Layers (Rob, I'm not, that's why I'm here). Then, I'm told all about how layers are like a dinner place setting and maybe like the clothes I wear ... all nice layers.

I feel like I'm taking photography and Photoshop lessons with Mr. Rogers. And I paid for this? I want my money back!

I'm sure that Rob is an excellent photographer but if you want to learn anything about photography and/or Photoshop beyond a kindergarten level, go elsewhere.
