...from The Luminous Landscape "From Camera to Print"

I was wondering if it's worth $35.00 and if the go over printing B&W.

Having liked their previous video on Lightroom, I also downloaded "From Camera to Print". Honestly, it lacks depth and is very narrowly focused.

For example: when explaining sharpening, they omit any discussion behind the theory of proper unsharp masking and instead point you to a product sold by Jeff Schewe's company. When talking about paper choices, they assume that any serious photographer would only choose matte finish papers, never glossy, and only sometimes luster. Scanning is covered *very* briefly; the bulk of the video deals with RAW workflow.

I could go on, but suffice it to say that I was disappointed in this purchase. You might be better off spending your money on Steinmueller's Fine Art Printing for Digital Photographers. It's a little more organized and comes with an Index.

Thank you Brett. That's what I was wondering, from the preview clip I watched, it seemed a little too informal and chatty and like you said lacking in depth.
