Features:  

The Software Video Photoshop Tutorials missed most of our features points because they don’t offer project files, closed captioning, or online access. We gave credit for the free demo but it is just one short Flash video. It effectively demonstrates what you can expect to see in the course videos so it serves its purpose.

The Software Video website is nice and quite easy to navigate. The site is not overly complex and doesn’t have a bunch of useless garbage which is always nice to see.
 

Quality:  

The overall video quality in the Photoshop Tutorials is good. Images are nice and crisp and the large window size makes it easy to read everything on the screen.

Software Video provides an outline for each course and courses seem to be well organized and cover a wide range of topics.

The actual content of the video is also good. The instructors offer detailed explanations about how to perform tasks and explain different ways of doing things along the way, but the entertainment factor is missing. The instructors speak softly and lack personality. This makes it more difficult to stay focused on the lesson.

Instead of just showing you how to do something the instructors invite you to follow along. The only complaint we have is that they don’t address you personally and as they speak it sounds like what you would expect to hear from an instructor standing in front of a classroom rather than in a one-on-one conversation.

The instructor’s qualifications are a mystery due to the fact that no bios are available on the website. In fact, the instructor’s names aren’t mentioned on the site anywhere. We hope they are introduced at some point because a nameless voice is just creepy.
