Title
Photoshop User OR Lynda.com; What's your take?

Content

I cannot commit to both at the moment considering our tough time but would like to maximize the educational  benefit on a year long commitment.

Your take is greatly appreciated.

By the way Lynda.com has provided a non-working discount code OR, A BIG OR, they are just not honoring their commitment?????

Thanks in Advance.

<p>I you could only do one I would go for <a href="http://www.lynda.com">Lynda</a>. The range of subjects is much higher, the depth &nbsp;within the subjects is greater.</p> <p>Photoshop User is a great publication and Kelby Media is a very successful organization. At this point I feel the online training (<a href="http://www.kelbytraining.com/online/index.html">Kelby Training</a>) is a paid supplement to the <a href="http://www.photoshopuser.com/?aid=gcgpbe" target="_blank">NAPP member benefits</a> (which are basically awesome and terrific value for money)</p> <p>The other big player in the game I would consider is <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=x73lKJJHR5Q&amp;offerid=77593.10000039&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4">Total Training</a>. I like their interface better than Lynda's as you can just sit back and watch without having to start each movie. They have a gust pass that allows viewing of the first 20 mins of every tutorial.</p> <p>These programs are not getting cheaper (Kelbys just went up) so definitely lock in at least a years worth and budget for the following year a 30% increase.</p>

<p>David,</p> <p>Thanks for the response. Finally somebody took the initiative to pitch in experinece and opinion. For the longest time, I have been expecting some replies but it could be that everybody was just so busy or not interested or just simply does not have any motivation to exchange ideas amongts the member.</p> <p>Exchanging ideas and interaction is what brings success to a group and sadly.....</p> <p>Thank you</p>
