Question DPS Guides
Are we allowed to discuss the ebooks that DPS produces? I was wondering if anyone has purchased the Post Processing one they are advertising now and if it is truly worthwhile...

I bought it but didn't get to read it yet.
Be right back!

You're definitely allowed to discuss the ebooks in terms of "review" form (just to over-explain myself for clarity, what I mean is we wouldn't want people posting up the content which would result in people not buying the book, but if people want to say that they found it useful or not for whatever reasons, that's totally ok).

I haven't had a look at this latest one though, so I'm no help there.

I bought the ebook the first day it was out and have gotten about half way through it. For me it is a good basic pp book with a some good ideas and tips. It will not teach you how to use layers and things like that, but for the money I would say it is worth it.

Ok, if it is only covering absolute basics, it may not be worth it in the end. I know they have a Money Back Guarantee on this, but I'm always leery about these "guarantees"

And what about those of us who don't like e-books, is there any way to get a hard copy? I can only stand looking at a computer for so long, and have lots of business to attend to before I even get to DPS. I love to relax with an old fashioned book......

That's a really good question Kurt. It might be worth suggesting to Darren that the books be available through an on demand printer. I honestly do not know if that has already been considered, but it's worth suggesting.
