Parts of the course gave me new information but a lot of the lessons give the appearance of not being run through before being put into a lesson.

At the beginning there is a lot which is not really relevant to black and white conversion. Was informative but quite basic.

Not a professional lecture set. Concentrate on the trivial challenges like window resizing and ignores the important stuff like balancing the pictures. Many items being repeated twice or even three times. There was little that I could learn here.
