I never heard of it, but it looks like something worth checking out.

Okay, so what's it going to cost?

The cost to join No Bs World and have instant access
to all the information listed on this page is a mere $19.97 US* a month
and a one time sign up fee of $47.00.
*LOCK IN NOW.When you sign up for this rate you will be guaranteed no increases when the price does go up.
There is no way to justify not spending a measly .67 cents A DAY
to belong to one of the best forums online.
Your return on investment will be a thousand times OR MORE the cost to join.

***************

A tad pricy I'd say :-) I s'pose if they are good, and if you're in the business of portraits/weddings, it would be a valid business expense, but...

I photograph for pure pleasure only, no business interest, but as a learning resource looks quite good! dunno, suppose what I'm looking for really is for someone to tell me, its the best thing since sliced bread and it'll make me win a blue ribbon in every challenge I enter!!! Lol.

I don't see anything I can't find elsewhere on the web for free. For those who haven't - try retouchpro.com

sounds like BS

The instant success is for those running the site and collecting the $19.97/mth. (IMO)

ETA: ... but I'm a skeptic.

It's not instant success I'm after, I just thought it might be a good learning resource! I'm kind of stuck in a rut at mo and need some guidance on how to take my PS skills to the next level - I've kind of reached a plateau!!! (yeah, I know, concentrate on camera technique and the rest will fall in place - that'll come over time though). Mind you, I'm a perfectionist, so any work I've done in the past I take a disliking to after a couple of days anyway! there's no pleasing some folk!

I have to agree with Colette and Cindi. Those prices are ridiculous for info you can get for free anywhere.

I was just checking out one of the No BS Photo Success tutorials and wow, am I turned off by them. There is simply no excuse for such bad spelling. They could have at least run their articles/tutorials through a spell-checker.

They also seem to contradict themselves a lot. For example, their tutorial will say something like, "Use Tool A, then Tool B, then Tool C. However, we never use Tool B..."

All I had to do was watch the intro video and realize that if that was an example of the quality of their work it is not something I'd want to emulate.

That line, right there, has me a sceptic.........
A joining fee, which makes me think they are trying to get money out of you quickly (and unrecoverably).......any joining fee that you don't get something for (ie equipment/Uniform at sports clubs etc) makes me think twice............

A good site would rely on your experience to keep you paying money, or even have a try before you buy, if they stand by their prodict strongly.......Hang on, that sounds like DPC... :)

this reminds me of something I saw in Calvin & Hobbes where Hobbes has a "great idea" to share that would make Calvin really rich (or something), but it's such a great idea he can't possibly let it go for free. Calvin finds a quarter, gives it to Hobbes who then tells him the great idea is:

"A fool and his money are soon parted"

Thank you, Bill Watterson.
