man you guys dont give ANYTHING away.! this is the same "free" tutorial from 6 months ago
Hi Syd,
You are absolutely right, we did give this free tutorial back in October of last year. The reason for us choosing it again for this month is that we have had a lot of requests from our users who didn't get enough time last year to watch the tutorial.
This is the first time we have ever repeated a previous tutorial. It is not our intention to do so on a regular basis, but if we do get lots of requests, we have to be fair and try to please everyone.
Thanks for your comment though - we appreciate the feedback. I promise next month's will be a brand new one that you won't have seen before.
Best,
Isabelle
Bom dia Fernando! Glad you like the tutorials so much. Your feedback is just the sort of thing we love to hear.
