The best thing about Photoshop video-tutorials is that they allow you to observe professionals just as if you were standing nearby or look over their shoulders. You can see step-by-step how buttons, collages or even paintings are created. Instead of reading through books describing what needs to be selected, activated and clicked, you can simply imitate mouse clicks knowing exactly that you are actually doing the right thing.
