I will try to be there. Thanks for the email about this.
I’ll be there with a friend. Thanks!
I’ll definitely be there!
Lesa ROX!! I look forward to downloading the class!
I was only able to stay online for Lesa’s portion but it was sooo good. I can wait to view the free video. Thanks for doing that.
First a thank you too Lesa and Jay they both did a great job and I hope they will be invited back in the future.
Second, a continued huge thank you to all you folks in Seattle for the amazing job you are doing in making this great educational opportunity available. It is greatly appreciated!!
I was so bummed I couldn’t attend this class (or any this month) because I’m on slooow dial-up all month and can’t pull it in. I’m hoping I’ll be able to purchase it sometime.
Can we get an email when this class is available for download? There was so much great information and I’m excited about reviewing the information. Thanks Creativetechs!
Many thanks for providing the video . ..there was just so much information to absorb.
Lesa’s class was wonderful. I may do all my work in PS as smart objects from now on, since I see all they can do! Thank you Lisa for coming in for such a great class.
I had the opportunity to attend this class, and although I am just learning Photoshop, this was an amazing and feature filled class! I look forward to trying some of the techniques Lesa revealed. Will be looking into more of her offerings. Thanks – great class!
Please keep up these WONDERFUL classes. I learn so much!!! Thank you Lisa and Jay.
ohh .. i missed this one. thanks for putting it up for free! looking forward to watching it.
Thanks so much for posting the video – This was a terrific lesson and they both did a awesome job -
You did a fabulous job, Lesa. It was impressive. Thanks so much for an incredible show. The tips were well worth it. Thanks Craig for doing this! I’ll be back to see Jay’s video because I missed most of his presentation.
Thank you for posting the whole Lesa Snyder video. I made it in time for Jay Nelson’s (it was great) and was bummed that I missed hers. Thank you, thank you!
Enjoyed Lesa and Jay’s webinar classes. Hope to see them again–Gayle
Thank you for posting this! I was so sad that I missed it. I completely enjoyed the Lesa’s teaching. Thanks!
Thanks to Lesa for a First Class presentation that was lots of fun! Very effective teaching, well prepared and a pleasure to attend. Unfortunately because of the long break between Lesa’s and Jay’s class, I had to miss most of his. I’m hoping to catch the rest – will you be posting that too?

Thanks for posting this. I was disappointed to have missed it.
Thanks for posting this! A great seminar Lesa. I ordered your book that same day!
WOW!! This was one WONDERFUL class, and I’m so glad that not only did I see the original, but I’m going to get to review a few things I was fuzzy on!! THANK YOU, CreativeTechs, and Lesa, for making this available for us!
I loved your class so much, Lesa, that I went out and bought your book tonight, at Borders. Now I see by your link above that I could’ve gotten it much cheaper. Oh well, I’m NOT letting go of it now!
Thanks a million for this, it was absolutely wonderful to be part of this class so many fantastic additions….. thanks
That was super great. Learned a lot. sure could use these classes as a download. Pretty please.
What a fabulous class – I have always steered well away from smart objects having not understood the concept fully – Lesa your class was amazing – I have forwarded the link to many friends who like me run a mile from Smart Objects – well thanks to you that is no more – I’m happily embracing them as my new best photoshop feature !! More tutorials please
Class was fantastic, always learning something new at creative techs!

I always wondered what a Smart Object was but never took the time to try and figure it out. Lesa’s class made it easy to understand what Smart Objects are and how to use them. Many thanks!
I am SO glad you posted this! I caught the last 15-20mins and was TOTALY lost.
This is fantastic! I love these classes and what a great extra event with Lesa and Jay. I am a long time subscriber of Design Tools and a huge fan of Jay’s.
Thanks CreativeTechs.

WOW WOW WOW… I’m from Australia so I’m not sure where I can purchase your book but thanks so much for sharing with us for free
:)
Fan-tas-tic Lesa
Thank you soo much.
The tip on doing the drop shadows under the mask was great.
I have been trying to complete this step without much success … you ROCK !!
Hi, Lesa, thank you (and CreativeTechs) so much for this delightful and informative tutorial. I missed the live webinar, but am playing (and replaying) the video and having so much FUN practicing the techniques you showed us, using my own files (but I will email you directly for those free credits!). Thank you, thank you! —Alice
Soooooo, what font management program do you recommend for those of us that use a PC.
I recommend Linotype’s Font Explorer Pro, which should be available for Windows soon (I’ve heard “November”, but there’s no guarantee): http://www.fontexplorerx.com. Otherwise, Extensis’s Suitcase Fusion is a fine product.
Superb, very helpful and informative!
Will this be available as a download also. Will istockphoto resources be included like they are in the current Photoshop course?
I hope someone from CT will be answering mine and other peoples comments soon!
I sure enjoyed your Tut… I am just a beginner but I am learning…Keep up the good work…
The e-mail message said that the videos were posted for download and wouldn’t expire. That sounds great! But when I went to the training page, there were big empty spaces instead of links for downloading. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Ken -
The videos on this page are not downloadable. We will be including HD versions of these videos soon as part of the downloads for All Access Pass subscribers.
Good to see these are now starting to appear for download in HD – thank you.
Will istockphoto resources be included like they are in the current Photoshop course?
Not finding a link where I can DL the Lesa Snider and Jay Nelson lectures. I am guessing they are not downloadable, but can be viewed by going to the link (http://creativetechs.com/training/special-guests-lesa-snider-jay-nelson/)and watching online. Any chance you will put up the HD for DL, possibly only for paying customers?
I thought these were great and very informative. Can’t wait to use the information.
Loved Lesa information.
Can she come back again?
Thanks for all your training you do.
Super informative, fun, and inspiring. Such great material, really thoughtfully and concisely presented–it was a rare treat. I’ve recommended this guest presentation and all of the CreativeTech webinars to my teammates.
