This is a brilliant DVD for really explaining how Painter 11 works. John Derry is a very professional and very clear tutor. He gives well-structured information and advice in a very palatable form, sparked by humour, and by very honest appraisal of the facilities of Painter and how to get the best out of them. Painter is so powerful, it is easy to become either overwhelmed or bogged down by all the possibilities. John takes you by the hand, shows you how to tweak it to suit what you want to do, and gives examples and exercises for practice. He is very thorough, with a light touch - never boring.
To begin with, I had a glitch with the DVD. It kept `sticking' - as if it was online, with a slow connection. I emailed lynda and within two hours (on Sunday night!), they had replied and the problem was solved. If you have the same problem: in QuickTime go to Quick Time Preferences > Advanced > select GDI Safemode and apply.
The other problem I've had was inspired by seeing John set up the Cintiq as a virtual artist's paint palette in dual screen, toggling the cursor between the screens. I wondered why he didn't say how to do it! I ended up with two cursors on my laptop screen, and all the control windows on the Cintiq, and no cursor to control them with! Do check all your manuals and settings. I found that my problem was just one single setting in the `display toggle' preferences - from `desktop and Cintiq', to `other monitors and Cintiq' - and bingo, problem solved.
If you've got Painter 11 and you don't feel you're on top of it yet, (or an earlier version, but are wondering whether to upgrade), you will find this DVD really useful. It says Essential Training and it is!

I have found this a really useful video. It has helped me understand the complexity in Painter 11. It is as good as going to College!

Working Threw It!!!!!

At first I wasn't sure about learning Painter 11 from a DVD. I wanted the traditional book. I purchased the DVD anyway and I am so glad I did. Derry has the information very organized and very easy to go back and find the subject you want to review. The best and very best is pausing the DVD and listening to the information again. Hope to see another from John Derry.
Excellent Painter 11 instruction

I have never reviewed a product like this online before, but my experience using it was so positive that I felt it necessary to share my views to help people who might be struggling to learn Painter. Unlike other instructional materials that seem to want to dazzle the beginner with everything Painter can do, John Derry immediately focuses in on basic training you need to know. He builds on this until you see the architecture of the program, and from there you can continue in your own direction without confusion. Mr. Derry was one of the original authors of Painter, but he is even more than that -- he is a gifted teacher. You don't have to worry about picking up bad habits, or struggling as I did with incomplete or inaccurate instructions. The DVD interface makes learning natural and efficient -- you can have the DVD window open showing his Painter desktop and immediately switch to your Painter program. It is like having a tutor with a computer next to you, learning in real time. If you miss a step or want to revue, simply pause or backup. You can even bookmark lessons you want to revisit.
Painter 11 is powerful software, and I can't imagine a better introduction to it than this DVD.
