All three versions include more than 1.5GB of sample files. Every photo, including all layers, so you can work through the photos as you read the eBook or watch the video instruction. You'll get the most from the eBook/Video bundle.

High quality was a constant concern during the production of the video. Rather than provide a small window for viewing the video, you get a full 1024 x 768 pixels with millions of colors. The audio quality is excellent, too. We're talking CD quality mono sound with minimal compression. Not the sort of audio that scratches and pops and sounds like a walkie-talkie or a bad phone connection.
Special video bonus: Video iPod versions of the video tutorials are included with the video version and the eBook/video bundle. So now you can take "Sharpening Your Photographs" with you.
“What concerned me most and what I think has deterred others from producing a video on sharpening is being able to get sharp video as you zoom in and out. It's hard to talk about sharpening when your video is soft. I worked hard to keep the video as sharp as possible. Couple that with the original images so you can load them up, work with them, and print them -- AND -- you can learn a lot great deal about sharpening photographs from these video lessons.”
