The Adobe Learn by Video Series are brought to you by Peachpit Press, Adobe Press, and video2brain. The iPhone app is like having a teacher in your pocket. I downloaded it from the App Store and watched all three lessons for Adobe Photoshop CS4: "Covering the Basics," "Image Editing," and "Creative Photoshop." I was very skeptical that I would be able to get much from a tutorial on such a small screen. How was I going to see the cursor? But the resolution of the video and zooming into the area being explained led to a clear visual of the narrative.

The tips for taking charge of Photoshop's Interface were helpful and big time-savers. The three lessons are well developed and useful and the developers have done a great job on this video. I look forward to more iPhone apps like this one.

The app lets you send comments and you can also take quizzes. You can search a topic and it will give you several videos from which to choose.

Note:
I contacted Peachpit regarding the complete tutorials and they responded that right now there are three DVD products available in the Learn By Video Series, which retail for $59.99 each.
