What about the recording?
We did record the event but unfortunately due to a computer crash, we lost the second half with the demonstrations. HOWEVER THERE IS A BONUS…
James is re-recording all seven (7) of the design demos to show you step-by-step how he achieves his design effects. The new videos will include tutorials created and based in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements AND will include the layered PSD files!
